Adi Dharma has 2 properties - the cottages on the main street, which are older and the hotel in a laneway off Benasari. The hotel is more modern. Its nice enough, but in the budget range. They also have a property about 20 mins out of Ubud that is more up market.
If jumping in a swimming pool with the saddest dolphins you have ever seen which are being forced to entertain you rocks your boat then Melka Hotel in Lovina is the place for you. One of the biggest regrets of my life was going there and contributing to this inhumane practice.
If you want a life changing experience with dolphins, don't do it in Bali. Come to Australia & do a boat tour in the wild where the dolphins have chosen to interact with you. Much more rewarding, don't you think?
