I know your dilemna. Trust me - I spent HOURS researching accommodation for a 10 day trip in June for 4 girls.
We ended up staying at Villa Padi in Canggu for our first 4 nights. We were a little bit hesitant as it is a bit out of the way BUT the deal was the villa which was 3 bedrooms - although the upstairs one had an extra single bed. So you ended up with down stairs 2 suites with ks beds and your own bathroom, tv etc. Upstairs was a HUGE room with a separate room which had a single bed in it. That was the only down side that someone had to end up with the single. To be honest my sister and her friend scored the upstairs and as the bed was KS they ended up sleeping together with a pillow in the middle - LOL
The price included a driver for 8 hours per day to take you anywhere!!! you like. So even though Canggu was a little out of the way - you had a driver and he was absolutely fantastic guy to take you where you wanted. We got him to take us out on 2 of the 4 nights we stayed there and he was more than happy to wait for us and take us home when we were finished. He didnt care what part of the day the 8 hours were used. He also transferred us to ubud when we left at no extra charge (we did tip him)
Breakfast was included and you told them what you wanted the night before i.e. bacon and eggs, fruit salad, juice etc. It was served out by the pool area. The staff were absolutely brilliant, around for assistance but certainly not in your face. We had girls come in twice to do massages, manicures etc at reasonable cost. Laundry was done at a ridiculously low cost.
Have a look at their website. When we went we got a deal that worked out at I am sure $58 per person per night. For what we got we were absolutely rapt. As I say the downfall was the one single bed and it was really a single mattress on the floor. So that was the tricky part - who gets to sleep where
Downstairs there was an open style lounge/dining area with tv/dvd/stereo/internet.
We found it extremely hard to get villas with single beds for all of us etc.
All in all we were extremely happy with our stay there. It was actually better than it looked on their website. It was actually really nice to be somewhere a little secluded and quiet. It depends what you want. But I can highly recommend it
I think I have clicked so my email is open - feel free to email me with any questions
good luck
