5 kids and a swimming pool at the hotel does not equal boredom lol.
They will entertain themselves just fine around the pool.
Your biggest worry is going to be trying to get them away from the pool to do your planned trips, and watching your room service bill go through the roof, from the kids ordering food and drinks by the pool lol.
I highly recomend before you go to bali, find a cheap 2 dollar type shop and buy some blow up swimming pool toy stuff, like beach balls and floating rings, and beds etc. They pack really flat until you blow them up. When you leave bali, just leave them at the hotel pool, they arent worth bringing home, too much weight and too hard to get flat again lol. The other guests will appreciate them, or the staff take them home for their kids.
Cheers
