In Reply to: I would start with a few searches posted by haza on Saturday, 3. September 2005 at 10:24 Bali Time:
I agree with the need to continue searching but it can get overwhelming.After much searching and asking we are going in October with our 2 girls (14 & 18) and decided on Ubud village Hotel for 3 nights first up and then Jayakarta Hotel for 11 nights. Its a 3-4 **** but has several pools, one which allows for swimming laps(hubby does this) and is beachfront. It is a little quieter than Kuta but that is what we were looking for. Breakfast was included in our deal,we have interconnecting rooms and booked only 1 room for the last night as we leave at 1:00am and a shower before heading to the airport is always nice.Access to everything else is apparently OK and you can walk along beach to Kuta (quite a walk) or catch a taxi.
Hope this helps
Nice restuarants nearby
