We stayed at the Melia in July of 04 for two weeks. We found the Melia to be a great resort with a fantastic garden, especially at night with lots of candles lit up!
In fact we are currently considering staying there from the 29 June - 13 July, when will you be there in July ? What kind of room did you book ? We stayed in 2 Superior rooms on the ground floor whxih were very nice.
As for the prices at the hotel, Bintang was around 17500 Rupiah, cocktails around 50000 Rupiah (2 for 1 at happy hour from 17h00-19h00 at beach bar) A Club Sandwich costs around 60000 Rupiah.
Generally we ended up paying around 400000 - 600000 Rupiah for a dinner meal at the resort. You can pay far, far less when you dine out away from the 5 star resorts at Nusa Dua, but we enjoyed the convenience and you pay for that.
As for Restaurants nearby, go to the north gate of Nusa Dua and you will find quite a few very reasonably priced restaurants just outside the gate, worthwhile exploring this option.
Enjoy !
