I agree with all that has been posted here. We go to Bali Hai on 3rd August until 28th, it's our 12th time there and we can't praise it enough. There has been much posted on BTF re Bali Hai and you can find it by searching under the name.
The theme banquets are superb and twice a week it is accompanied by a dance display. There 3 other restaurants in the hotel, all reasonably priced.Additionally, outside Bali Hai, within 200 metres max, there are 5 more restaurants: each one different all relatively inexpensive with Ma Joly being the most expensive but boy, is the food there to die for while they serve the coldest beer.
The others are Pantai which is right on the beach towards Kuta and almost next door to Ma Joly. Directly across the road from Bali Hai you will find Green Garden Spa which has a really extensive menu; it's built on stilts and for sunset views you can't go past having a Bintang on the upper level.
Just up the road (towards the Airport) you will find S A Cafe with good food, great staff and an excellent money changer (scrupulously honest with good rates). Further up JL Wana Segara is one of the "Lotus" taverns - good food with go prices.
At the entrance to B H there is an ATM - very useful!! and in Jl Wana Segara a number of small shops( one taking in laundry - 24 hr service & ironed)an internet shop,and a stand alone laundry.
For those extra luxuries , take a light Blue taxi to "Pepitos" a supermarket about 1km away and hold the taxi while you shop cos it costs very extra little to do so.
Breakfast is superb at Bali Hai and anyone who can't get a good feed there is too fussy.
You can walk to Kuta along the beach (10-15 mins)when the tide is out but if you don't like walking taxis are cheap (Light Blue)
Well thats it from me, there is much more but it's more fun if you find out yourself, have a great holiday. When are you there???
Have a look at their web site www.balihai-resort.com
