Took the 3 year old and 6 year old in Jan this year - we all had the best holiday. Stayed at Jayakarta apartments - recommend it highly. Have stayed here 4 times before but this was first time in apartment and it is great to have the extra room/kitchenette etc. We had a 1 bedroom - kids slept on pull out mattress and fold out single bed. Tight when beds all out in living room but really don't spend much time in there anyway. Pools and facilities at Jayakarta are great and it is so close to everything. Great pizza place - very kid friendly - at end of beach strip of restaurants near Jayakarta - called Goodys. We had breakfast either at Tommys down the road from front entrance to Jayakarta and but then also at Blue Ocean out on beach front - very kid friendly and so cheap! Banana pancakes for kids were 10,000 (about $1.30AUS). the Balinese love kids and my kids lapped it up - they didn't want to leave and keep asking when we are going back. Milk/yoghurt all safe and available at nearby Bintang supermarket. My kids ate so much chicken satay and rice - became their staple! Have a great time - you will love it. Also have a great babysitter if you are interested and driver who is good with kids.
