We too have stayed at Melasti Beach Resort each year for the past 8 years and never ever have we found yubbos.
There is a couple of pools to lay around by, great massages restuarants close to Melasti Beach Resort. Blue bird Taxis are the way to go...just wait by the front gate and flag one down as they come around the bend.
Some of the beach sellers can be a bit ruthless so be on guard at first.
We always found by being friendly with the staff you will build a nice relationship with them and they will always look out for you...particularly the 2 Made's who are bellboys and the older security guard who wears a beret and salutes.
Always feel safe in Bali but still are careful.
Have fun.
