Check out Villa Agung in Lovina and ask for Air Con room upstairs. You can walk across the top of the kitchen to the upstairs, grass (alung alung) covered Reading Roon that is right on the beach with 180 degree view of the wide blue horizon. The staff here are simply wonderful, the food is very good and the situation is magic. And if you give our friend / driver a call, he will stay there with you - he will come to his own arrangements with the staff and take you around and back to Ubud. He lives close to Ubud and is fun to travel with and very safe and knows Bali but does not force it down your throat. But do ask him - sometimes he forgets you are interested to hear about his precious Bali.
Drop him a note wayan tagel <wayantagel@hotmail.com> or phone him on I Wayan Tagel +62 081 338 791 474 - we text him and he responds very quickly.
Have fun, Simon
btw - give the Lovina dolphin watching a miss - its more dolphin chasing and harrassing because that is what the locals think the tourists want - and may some of them do. but give them a break and watch them from the shore.
