We loved Toyabali. It was so tranquil and relaxing. If you are a party person it's not for you but if you're looking for peace and relaxation it certainly is. The host Ibu Made organised a day tour for us and came along as our guide, she also taxied us to Jemeluk( Amed) for excellent snorkeling.
The US Liberty shipwreck is literally just off the beach and is a diving/snorkeling destination. We snorkeled it 3 times but the weather was a bit windy while we were there making access to the sea a bit difficult. The beach is black volcanic pebbles too. I'd recommend diving boots and strap on fins to make access/egress easier.
Breakfast is provided, fresh fruit plate, various egg choices or noodles, fresh fruit juices/lassi, coffee, tea.
We also ate there most evenings and enjoyed the food.
The rooms are beautiful bungalows with lots of space and gardens between them making it feel very private. Two of them have partial sea views. They have an enormous outside bathroom, ours had a huge granite spa bath too.
If there's a downside it's that there isn't much around in Tulumben, a few bars, hotel restaurants. Most of the hotels specialise in diving.
Tulumben is also a longish drive from anywhere ( 3 winding hours from the airport).
Please be aware that (post covid lockdown)local businesses don't take international credit cards and ATM are few and again don't always take international cards. We got in late and had no cash but Ibu Made subbed us until we could find an ATM, so kind.
