I only use the Green Garden as a stop & shop hotel and then move on elsewhere. Could not imagine spending 16 days there. As mentioned not a resort so not really a relaxing type of hotel. Ubud would be great, so would Amed or Lovina. Wherever you are for the 7th, Nyepi, make sure that you stock up the day before, water, nibbles etc and check on what arrangements the hotel has for meals for the day. A torch is also a good idea as lighting is kept to a minimum. You cannot go out of the hotel until after 6am the next morning. Some shops do close a few days before Nyepi,as most Balinese go home to their villages and there are ceremonies on the days leading up to Nyepi, and some do not open until a couple of days later. The day after Nyepi there is a market on Kuta beach. Have a great holiday. Cheers, Stormy os I will also be there at that time, staying at the Ramayana. They have opened the 2nd floor of their restaurant os will be a great spot to watch the Ogah Ogah parade.
