Myself(53) wife(52) flew jetstar sydney to denpasar direct left on time and arrived on time no problems at airport in and out in 25mins again no hassles all good .we were met by wally and transfered to our accomodation for 2 nights Bakungs Beach cottages Tuban my son had stayed there so we knew what to expect the rooms were clean although old and in need of renovating the breakfast was fine and for the price an enjoyable stay for 2 nights.We then moved on to Balian to stay at newly opened villas/cottages The Istana this was a most enjoyable time,we had never been to Balian and enjoyed the relaxed atmsophere of the area, Istana owners Michael and Komang plus their staff amde us very welcome the accomodation is first class and breakfast was included nothing is a problem.We ate at Pitaya and Pondok Pices both establishments provided great meal choices Pondok was probably our favorite.We left Balian to go to Sanur and stayed at the Mecure had got a deal online this hotel was probably a bit bigger than the ones we were used to but it was a nice hotel with all the facilites staff were friendly short walk along the beach to bobbys for breakky ate at the Cat & Fiddle Caesers tried to get to Ducks Nutz but had no luck with our taxis and having not been to sanur before or taking the address with me we missed out maybe next time.We left Sanur for Lembongan stayed at Coconuts this was the most enjoyable part of the stay great weather good staff surf close by and really I thought plenty on offer as far as dining was concerned had been told 3 days was more than enough we could have stayed a week.We then moved on to Tuban stayed at Rama Beach resort and Villas 4th time here again didnt disappoint seem to be doin alot of renos to keep up with other hotels in the area Baruna Aston etc.Wifey shopped in the usual places Jennys Centro Matahari Dolphin leather Bintang silver ate out at Il Ceilo Pantai TJS Havana Club Stadium (for NRL games) SA cafe used breadtalk for lunch several times .after a hectic week in Kuta we headed to the Legong Keraton this would have been a great time except for the rain which was consistent for our 3 day stay hotel was good standard,staff ok,limited dining but adequate ate at the hotel Sukertis right next door and up at Sate Bali 20 minutes along beach from hotel.All in all a great trip visited different places opening up new bali experiences.I did think however bali prices have gone up quite a bit since last year.Thanks to everyone on the forum for advice and information it certainly helps make your trip more enjoyable
