We are staying at the LBH in June and the hotel offers a 2 night stay at their sister hotel Candi Beach Cottages in Candi Dasa. We thought it might be a good trip to see a bit different side of Bali apart from Legion areas and Ubud. Our chn are 13& 16. From peoples postings it seems the snorkling is also worth it. We do intend to go on a cruise which includes snorkling and have snorkled at the Whitsundays so we would not go just for the snorkling unless it was much better than the other places we have been. The Whitsundays would be hard to beat. Our travel agent assures us that we would have no trouble getting a similar or same room (2X Superior Bungalows) on our return to the Legion Beach Hotel.
Would love to hear from anyone who has taken this option with LBH or their thoughts on Candi Dasa for our family. We love the sea and sea side areas. We are going to be in Bali for 2 weeks and plan to ride the elephants, take the Ocean Rafting Tour, WWR, maybe quad bike tour, spend time in Nusa Dua for water sports, check out the beaches & temple at Uluwatu, spend an afternoon at the Blue Point Villas, shop, Waterbom Park, monkey forest and watch the sunset at Tanah Lot. Of course it will depend on how we feel as to how much we end up doing but the kids do like to be on the go! I would like to fit some pampering in there somewhere. We don't want to spend time on a side trip that really doesn't suit us. Thanks
