Hi Jayman,
The best advice I can give you is to get all the info you require from the Tour Desk in reception, choose whichever you like then do not book them with the Tour Desk but either direct from the brochure/flyer or if you are looking for a driver then ring Teguh on 081 236 25647 when you arrive, he will look after you and will not take advantage, we have used him for 6 years.
Regarding dining prior to this year there was a place called Galleria within 5 minutes walking distance, this was brilliant and incorporated about 20 restaurants and scores of shops, sadly it has all closed down and according to the rumours it will be turned into a theme park!!.
This year we used room service, the restaurant nearest the beach, and if you get Teguh to take you to Jimbaron Bay there are lots of fish restaurants on the beach, just take your pick from live fish, lobsters etc and they will cook it how you like it, also they will return you back to your hotel foer free so you do not need to keep your driver waiting for you.
Hope this helps.
