Mai Malu in Medewi- rubbish
Indonesia is one of my favourite places in the world! I have been so many times and have always felt the people are so friendly. Then we made the mistake of staying at Mai Malu.

They have a spanky website that makes it look very welcoming however, there's a reason why they dont show pictures of the rooms!

The staff are ok but the owner's mother (australian) was very rude! Especially when we had to leave because there were absolutely no waves! Talk about a witch!

Worst experience I have ever had in Indonesia!

Accommodation in Medewi
Hi chaps

I recommend the Puri Dajuma: they will give you a lift free of charge to the break, or you can walk (about 15-20 minutes). It is on the side of the right hander, so you can stop there if you want. The place is five stars-luxury but affordable, and it is great place for the wife/girlfriend to sunbathe by the pool.

Medewi
I spent 2 weeks in April at Medewi. Had a great time and the swell was pumping around 5 to 6 ft. Only problem with the wave is its very soft. The take off area is fairly small due to the line of the rocky bottom and after a punchy takeoff the wave dies. You really have to push to get some power and then the tail of the wave forms up a litle better. The locals have the place wired and know you must stay high on the wave to keep up any momentum. Even though the swell was consistent it was not as good as other waves elswhere, and we only surfed it a couple of times. It only breaks on the high tide and can get small on the low tide but magically increases as the tide rises. There is a right hander about 200 meters east at the mouth of the next river which was really good fun but short and tends to be very fickle due to the current and winds. If you want a quiet uncrowded surf break forget it. There is a Medewi Boardridres club that has started up and there are always locals on the wave. No less that 25 and up to 60 on one day. A German guy is opening a hotel for euro surfers later this year so it gets busy for such a soft wave. On one day no less that 5 mini buses of Japanese surfers arrived and added another 22 surfers to the already crowded line up of 40. Food was good at the local restaurants but there is nothing here other than the run down Medewi Beach Cottages resort and a couple of warungs.
PS If you want to stay at the resort in relative comfort (air con) then book at the hotel when you get there. If you book via the Medewi Beach Cottages website your going through an agent who owns the website and he charges US $58 for a beach front unit which is too much. Negotiate with the hotel when you get there or stay at the warung west of the point along the beach.

They have lost their web-address and I can't find them anywhere. They have great food.

Medewi
Hey, just come from Medewi for a few days. Stayed at the Medewi Hotel and got a nice room in a cabin for 80,000/night (sharing with 2 people). There is a right and a left - left is more popular as it is crazy long. Don't forget booties as this place is urchin central at low tide, got two in my foot within two days. Really cool people on the lineup - locals friendly. Also Medewi is Bali's only Islamic village - a good place to go over Nyepi - although very crowded for the same reason. Light sleepers beware morning prayers and cockerels.
