Lombok is very interesting. We made a day trip to Gili Trawangan, one of three small islands off Lombok. It was an excellent day of swimming and relaxing.
There is also a large new mall in downtown Mataram which has some excellent deals at better prices than in Bali.

I got a lot of informations about available exkursions. The trips I would recommand:
Uluwatuh- one of the mayor temples in Bali
East Bali Tour
Ubud - you should see the restaurant "Miro´s"
(one of the most beautiful restaurants i´ve ever seen)
Lovina/ Anturan
(I stayed there for 4 weeks!!!)
black sand, few tourists, peaceful and quiet
If you´ll go there don´t miss the best place
which is named "KUBU LALANG" - an excellent restaurant with the best food I could find in Bali.

Stayed at Amankila - Bali, Indonesia.

It was our 3rd trip to Bali. This trip started in Ubud. Being tired and needing to unwind, we toured very little around Ubud. We did find a couple of restaurants with good food. Terazo, across the street (Jalan Suweta) from the Ubud Palace was a delightful surprise servicing lovely salads. To breakup our shopping and take a rest, we had good coffee at Tutnak.
The drive from Ubud to Amankila took us through some lovely towns. We always like to take in the sites and enjoy these drives. My husband organized a walking tour through the rice fields and jungles. We trekked for over 3 hours, stopping here and there to take photos. Although it was hot and humid, it was worth every minute. The tour ended in the village of Tenganan that is well know for its traditional double ikat weaver. I Wayan Kondri at Indigo Art Shop was very knowledgeable and was able to clearly explain in English the craft that he practises. Another outting took us by car to various villages in and around Mt Agung. One of the stops was Tirtagangga, the Royal Water Palace.
I would recommend that one should stay in the east parts of Bali to get away from the more developed areas. We prefer the quiet. We just like to lounge, walk and just take in the sites at a slow leisurely pace.

Stayed at Bali Dynasty Resort - Bali, Indonesia.

Definitely go to the kecak dance in Ulu Watu and the Barong Dance in Ubud. Both are so worth seeing. Do beware of the monkeys in Ulu Watu though -- they will take anything off you that they can get their hands on.

Stayed at Bounty, Hotel - Bali, Indonesia.
|
Bali is breathtakingly beautiful. Kuta Beach was my favourite although there are a variety of beaches to choose from. For something a little different, rent a Jeep and drive to Sideman to see some of the island's postcard-perfect rice fields. The views are definitely worth the drive.

Stayed at Aneka Kuta - Bali, Indonesia.
|
Always remember if the locals ask when you bartering: you flew with Garuda, you are a Student, you are an Aussie/Kiwi, your friend bought it cheaper, and find the cheapest hotel in Kuta and say you're staying there. This way you'll pay the lowest prices. Flying with Qantas, being fully employed, being from England/US or Japan, not knowing what the price of something is, and staying at the Aneka Beach hotel is basically saying to the locals... I get a lot of Rupiah to the £/$/Yen so please fleece me.
Definitely visit: Lambongan Island, Gitgit Waterfalls (check out the multi-tiered one - up the hill from the main one), Monkey Forest, Ubud, Ula Watu and the Volcanoes. For thrills hit the Waterbom Park, Slingshot Bungee and Aj Hackets Bungy - oh yes and the surf.

Stayed at Resor Seminyak - The Resort and Spa - Bali, Indonesia.

Very far from the city, but very calm.
This hotel has private beach, best sunset scenic.
If you want to see sunrise, this hotel is very good I think.

Stayed at Puri Bambu Hotel - Bali, Indonesia.
|
The hotel is located near a fishing village and in a residential area; it is therefore isolated from traffic and is quiet compared to what we saw elsewhere. Because it is isolated, we used the hotel shuttle to the tourist town of Kuta, 20 minutes away, which departs daily at 1000, 1300 and 1500; from there it is possible to take various types of transportation elsewhere. Because we were unfamiliar with the transportation system, we preferred to book group and individual tours to the numerous attractions through the hotel.
Jimbaran Beach is located some 400 meters away; there are some 80 eating establishments (warungs) specializing in fresh barbecued fish there. We enjoyed the walks along the beach, which is busy during the day with the small fishing boats; however, the rainy season brought extensive debris back on the beach, so there was little incentive to swim there at this time of year.
