Set among patches of forest and agricultural land 700m behind Pantai Sukamade, Mess Pantai is a basic but peaceful place to stay in the park. Unfortunately, any romance the place might have is countered by the generally run-down state of the rooms and piles of rubbish… If you can, bring a tent and camp deeper in the park.
Instant noodles are usually the only food available (around 8000Rp), so it’s best to stock up in Sarongan and bring your own supplies – staff will prepare it for you. There’s limited electricity and no mobile phone coverage here, but there is bottled water for sale.
