Hi there,
We will be making a first-time trip to Bali in the middle of January for our honeymoon. We are having great trouble deciding on the locations to visit and accommodation!
We have decided to stay the first 5 nights in Seminyak at the Elysian Villas (which were very highly recommended by a friend who stayed there on their honeymoon).
We also want to stay somewhere right on the beach and a bit out of the rat race. Another friend has recommended a couple of nights in Ubud, and then a few nights in Lovina on the north coast. What do people think of Lovina as a honeymoon beach destination? We are also considering replacing Lovina with Lombok - what do you think? We really love snorkelling and just want to relax, eat great food and enjoy eachother's company.
Can anyone recommend some 'romantic' type places to stay in Ubud / Lovina / Lombok. We don't mind paying a bit for an awesome place but $200 to $250 a night would be the absolute limit (and would have to be a really perfect place).
We are backpackers from way back, and are used to staying in really budget accommodation over our various travels, so want our honeymoon to be a bit special.
Thanks for any help, much appreciated!
