In Reply to: Permuteran Hotel & travel from Amed posted by the2sues on Friday, 19. February 2010 at 14:38 Bali Time:
We stayed in Pemuteran last October and were initially booked at the Taman Sari however a month before our trip the airline changed our flight dates which meant we had to change our accommodation and the Taman Sari was fully booked so we changed to the Adi Assri and oh my goodness how lucky were we as it was *amazing* and brilliant value for money :-) Have a look at: http://www.adiassri.com/index.html
My pics of the hotel & the dive / snorkel trip we took are online at: http://picasaweb.google.com/cyberbirth
As for the drive - we drove from Amed to Lovina in April last year and it was a great as more off the beaten track and very scenic drive (took around 3 - 4 hrs from memory) however as the road isn't as busy as some of the others major routes it's not as well maintained so I would recommend a vehicle with good suspension / nice seats as even in our good van it was very bouncy and there were plenty of pot-holes to dodge :-)
Cheers
