Stayed at Aneka Kuta - Bali, Indonesia.

We traveled to Nusa Dua beach to do water sports and it was seaweed infested so I recommend before booking a hotel in a certain area to find out where the best beach is to go when you go. It all depends on the wind. We also went up to Ubud area and farther north to see the rice terraces and it was well worth it!
Renting motorbikes and cars is extrememly simple and cheap so I recommend bringing an int'l driver's license.

Stayed at Senggigi Beach Hotel - Lombok, Indonesia.

The resort was so lovely, we barely left it. I did tour into Sekarbela to look at pearls, but was disappointed in their low quality, high prices and poor metal craftsmenship. Would give this a miss. Blue taxis are cheap, easy and safe to use.

I found Bali to be the perfect destination, for a cheap, beautiful, friendly and special holiday. I recommend people to get away from Kuta, and all the major tourist resort and places. That is NOT the real Bali. Try mingling with the LOCALS - THEY will show you what its all about. Good Place to visit is LOVINA, up in NORTH bali... I stayed there for about a month, and the people are great! Good for a night playing instruments on the beach till the sun rises....
Singaraja is only good for passing through..dont bother staying there.
If you can be bothered, learn a little of the language. It makes life alot more interesting, and alot less stressfull. (If anything just learn to say "No Thank you" or "I have no money", so the hawkers will leave you alone. They are more likely to harrass you if you continue speaking in English)
P.S If your drinking ARAK, be careful of the mornings after. *green face*
