We stayed at Hidden Valley Hotel which is on the beach and has a great restaurant and thier own pool. The oldest hotel in this area but still in very good condition, the same owner also has Coral View next door which is double story (family room) at the same price of US$50 with a little more privacy than the single story family rooms at Hidden Valley. Coral Views is newer but does not have facilities on the beach for relaxing/sun bathing as Hidden Valley does, instead they have many fishing boats which takes up all the beach.
From memory there arn't many hotels on the beach,so you may want to check this out first before booking as it limits what your children can do to keep them happy..as there are no televisions in these hotels. Some hotels in the area have televisions but for dvds only.
As I have mentioned in other posts, Amed is Kuta 35 years ago with out any touristy items for sale!!!!!! only local warungs!
One of the best snokelling/diving places in Bali.
CHEERS, Bob
