... in fact we were married there in February. We stayed in a garden bungalow, the resort is spacious and everyone is friendly. You staying on the beachfront I am guessing it is in one of the villas - next time we go we would like to stay in one of them, have heard great reviews. There are a group of them together and you have your own section of the resort, not only do you get your own villa pool but also a pool on the beach which on those in the villas can use. Looks really nice!
I remember taking my hubby the first time, 5 nights it was and I wanted to keep it action-packed so that he would want to go back - now he loves the place so that plan certainly worked!! We did white water rafting, bike tour and buggies - 3 long day trips - and a couple days shopping. I would definitely recommend the bike tour to see the 'real Bali', a full day out and so cheap, one of my most memorable days.
Perhaps you could do a dinner cruise, cooking class, bike tour, Ubud visit and a day to relax. Really depends what you're looking for, action-packed or just a couple of nice activities with relaxation filling in the rest of the gaps.
Enjoy!
