Lipah is probably the best stop in Amed. The beach is lovely, the water itself is amazing to swim in with the great plus that is good snorkeling. The view from Shankara Parada as the sun set is beguiling to say the least. Lovely aesthetics in terms of the building, gatden and green surrounds. I will bring a fine bottle of wine next time and a good friend or two to share this beatiful place with. The staff, especially the young man Ketut, are excellent, attentive and i thought genuinely friendly. Only stayed 2 nights and didnt get a feel for the best restaurants and warungs but I will come back for sure.
It was a little noisy from construction of additional villa and restaurant, but that was during the day. Expected to be done by June
