The staff here is tops, the place is lovely, but be mindful of your travel style when you commit.
We found in Kuta that accommodation prices are much less, renting surfboards were ~$4/24 hours, Ekas' were $10/session, boat trips from Kuta to the same spots near Ekas were ~$23/boat no matter how many people were aboard, as opposed to $10/person even if the boat has 10 people, from Ekas. Scooters in Kuta were ~$4/day.
They rent scooters at Ekas, though it's unsafe to leave your bike unattended (even on the beach when you're surfing) and the roads are undriveable in some areas, so you come to depend on their shuttles.
Surfing was finished by 11ish each morning, and wind makes afternoon sessions near impossible, so you are left to your devices until you fall asleep each night. Sitting by the pool became a little dry (no pun intended) quickly. They do offer trips to pink beach and beyond, but again, it's pricey.
Because of the location, you have no option but to dine in their restaurant 3 meals a day, and have no kitchen access or grocery places in the area.
We appreciated the independence we had in Kuta to walk down the road to heaps of restaurants, bars, shopping places, and with quick scooter access to hidden beaches and viewpoints otherwise inaccessible from Ekas.
The resort is great for those looking for a particular experience, but we found it a little too enclosed for us.
