Hi guys I have been to Bali many times and four already this year. My advice (and everyone is different) is to firstly give the Sol Elite a miss. Huge pool but that is far as it goes the rooms are not big. Also if your three are not of all the same sex then you are looking at three rooms unless one pitches with you. (I have kids and that age I am sure I am right about this)
I have stayed at the Bali Intan 3 times and was good when I was younger but once again with your room situation it is going to get pricey.
What I can suggest is the Garden View Cottages in Jalan Padma Utara in Legian. They have family villas there which are very reasonable and they have three separate sleeping quarters (Problem solved) and also some with two. You will get them at a very reasonable price. There is a living area that is huge and also they are clean and air-conditioned. They are not five star by anyones guess but then again neither is the Sol elite Paradisio (my opinion only)
The one draw back is that it is generally predominately Aussie inhabited ......heh heh....(I am an Aussie.)
It is very well run and the staff are great and it is about 150 meters from the beach and you will get the whole villa for about $45 US per night.
I hope this has helped
Regards
