I have to disagree with BaliJo and say that my trip to Nusa Lembongan was definetely the best part of my last trip. But, it depends on what you are looking for. If you need to escape from the hawkers for a day or two then yes, go to Nusa Lembongan. If you want pure relaxation, no hassles empty beach. Then go.
If you are looking to party then do not. Here is the set up, we stayed at Waka Nusa which is the most expensive but we splurged. There are ten (I think) little bungalows (definetely a place for couples) and about 35 staff. The beach is quiet and clean.
Each day the staff would take some of the guys out surfing. Then the big yachts would come in (with the people) for lunch. So, for 1 hour a day the place was busy ... but not unbearably so.
Then they would all leave and you could go swimming, snorkelling, walking or just sunbake until dinner. Dinner is served on the beach in tables for two with a candlelight beautiful four course meal. One of the best meals I've ever had.
So, if you are with your partner and want to do some heavy duty romantic relaxation then yes get away fro the hustle & bustle and go.
