Libby, I stayed 2 months based at one hotel in 2008 and absolutely loved it. I usually go on my own but had a friend with me for the first month. I could easily have stayed longer and did not want to leave. I am leaving next Saturday for my usual 6 weeks in August/September. I would love to stay 2 months again but have now started going for 2-3 weeks in Dec/Jan as a year is too long to wait. There is so much to do, or so little, whichever way you want to go! During this length of time there are always new people to meet, as most people are coming and going for shorter trips during that length of time. I stay at the same little hotel in Legian and this time I am taking a 2 night trip to Amed, and also a 3 night trip to Sanur. This just breaks it up a little and you get to experience different things and make new friends. I am always glad to get back to Legian after a few nights away. My hotel is my little home away from home. Relaxing by the pool, talking to other guests, shopping, walking. I have made friends with a few little children just up from hotel so some days I go and get them and bring them back to hotel for a swim and something to eat, or take them for an icecream. Simple little things but I love it. After a longer stay you just get to feel so "at home" and comfortable that it is hard to leave. I am sure you will have a wonderful time.
