Lucky you, I bet you'll have fun.
We often stay at Benoa Quay Harbourside Villas in Tanjung Benoa which is down the tip of the Nusa Dua peninsula so know the area reasonably well.
Restaurants:
There are quite a few restaurants in the Galleria complex but they are a bit more expensive, some nice feeds though.
But go down Jl Pratama and you're selection is endless.
Some of our favourites...La Scala, Mini, Casa Luna, Sea Queen, in fact any along there, we've not had a bad experience yet and all reasonably priced and will give you 20% discount and drop you back to your hotel.
If you like seafood, go right to the tip of the peninsula to Cafe Surya, sitting on the harbour's edge, nothing flash to look at but their seafood is yummy and cheap!! Great sitting there watching harbour traffic go by, day or night.
Nusa Dua Beach Grill is supposed to be great too (hoping to go there in October).
Money Changer: We use the Kodak shop on the beach side of Jl Pratama about half way along, honest and pretty good rates.
Spa's : Not used them but you'll find quite a number to choose from.
Watersports: Beaches of Tanjung Benoa offer endless WaterSports that the teenagers will enjoy I'm sure. Negotiate a deal with the operators.
Shopping: There are a couple of lots of markets plus a lot of shops along Jl Pratama that are worth a browse. Dont get hassled over this side of the island, you buy, you buy! haha. Again the Galleria has shops if you want to go more upmarket, but we never shop there.
I'm sure you'll find heaps to buy and eat in N/Dua, as much as we love Kuta, we find Nusa/Benoa much more relaxing.
Hope you enjoy yourselves!
