Hi,
Any recommendations for good observations site that is near to resorts?
Ideally to be near to decent and comfortable beach resorts.

NUS Astro usually goes to this resort. Used to be called Mana mana, but it's name got changed to Nirwana I think. They have relatively flat beaches, but the high tides at night can go really high, sometimes covering the beach. But they have a platform now, only problem is that when the tides come, you'd be stuck there for the night.

No prob with NUS Astro. There might be some declaration some years back. But the last time we went there, passing customs was smooth.
Ah yah, the platform vibrates as it had wooden planks with concrete. Another alternative was going to the field between both resorts. But there's no view of the horizon as shurbs surround the field and coconut trees get in the way of the field of view.
Not sure about other resorts
