This was my 2nd stay here. We used to stay at Nusa Indah next door but it got too crammed and the evenings with extremely loud live music were just horrible, so we moved onto Mega Cottages. They only have 9 x rooms, 5 x bungalows and 4 x rooms. The bungalows cost more and have ocean views but are not as modern as the 4 x rooms at the back. There are no TVs and breakfast is not included in the price which is unusual give the relatively high price charged for basic bungalows on the beach. The pool is lovely and the family owners are just super friendly and nice. You have to specifically ask for housekeeping, pool towels, soap, toilet paper, otherwise they will not clean your room and you will get nothing you don't ask for. The price per night has gone up by roughly A$25 per night in the last year. The back rooms are now 700k compared to 450k last year and the front bungalows 800-900k which is a steep increase. It's a lovely place to have a holiday. The location is great. The beach is out front and the gardens are relaxed and pretty. But this year they rented out all of their sun lounges and the pool use to anyone who asked, so there are lots of young random backpackers and tourists who pay $10 per night in the back streets come and hang out for the day. There are 6 lounges by the pool and 8 lounges on the beach. Some days all were rented out without time limit - some backpackers stayed for 8 hrs straight -and there was nowhere to sit for the guests paying $70-90 per night plus the pool was crowded with young couples /backpackers drinking Bintangs and taking up all of the space which made this often an annoying instead of relaxing stay. I do understand they need to make money but the place was fully booked every day which meant they were some 25 guests around eating, drinking, using the pool and wanting sun beds and the space they paid for in calm surroundings. I could have saved myself $400 that week by staying in a back alley and renting a sun bed for the day. Next door (Lembongan Resort) told all the people "no, just for guests". I think Mega Cottage will lose return guests if they don't manage this better, as there were multiple families who had zero space to sit anywhere. The front bungalows are old. Mine had broken floorboards which needed fixing.
