We were at Nusa Dua area for the water sports. I think 4 is definitely too young for watersports. By watersports i mean banana boat, flying fish, jet scooter etc. Even at 8, it depends on how comfortable your kids are with water to try the watersports. But 8yo I think can try the white water rafting. That is at the Ayung river in Ubud.

As mentioned in my earlier post, i don't like Kuta. With family, I like Nusa Dua even if it is more \"fake\" but it is clean with 5 star resorts which I know is safe to leave my kids at the kids club. I'll only leave my kids in kids club at 5-star international chain hotels. We were staying at Westin last year. if it is just DH and I, i favour Ubud. So far in Bali, i have stayed at Westin Nusa Dua, Conrad near Nusa Dua, Intercontinental at Jimbaran and Alila at Ubud.

The water theme park http://www.waterbom-bali.com/ is also great fun for the kids. As most of the rides are water based, most people basically go around the different rides in their swim wear.

Anyone can recommend good & nice tour guide for us? Usually what is the rate chargeable?


Thanks a lot

We have booked the Swiss-Belhotel at Nusa Dua for next mth trip. Any feedback about this hotel?


We are an extended family, 4 adults + 6 seniors (age 60-65) + 3 kids age 2,4 & 9.

Now trying to locate local tour guide for the trip....

My draft itinerary as follows:

Day 1 reach at 6.30pm, maybe just stay hotel for rest or spa/massage as hotel located at Nusa dua, not Kuta. Any shopping nearby that open till late hr? Safe to walk around?

Day 2 maybe Uluwatu, Bedugul, Jimbaran dinner. Where else?

Day 3 maybe water activities such as dolphin watching, glass bottom boat and snorkelling

Day 4 Tanah Lot? Ubud? where is the best place to shop around (not the art craft..hehe).

Day 5, morning flight.

Thanks for your input and appreciate your help :oops:

Thanks, but is my 1st time there, is this villa very isolated?

[tiffany42]

There are plenty of restaurants within waking distance from the villa. Pretty good location I wld say. Seminyak is a better area to stay compared to kuta as the traffic there is terrible. But do book early for the villa cos it is very popular with tourists. U can check out the review on tripadvisor

Hi all ,i will be going with my big family to Bali in June for 6 days.


I am still deciding where to stay, either Seminyak or Ubud.My main purpose is shopping,sight seeing and kids having fun.

Should I stay 3 days in Seminyak and 3 days in Ubud ? Or should I just stay all 6 days in Ubud ?

Is 6 days more than enough or should i cut short my holiday ?

Anything that shouldnt be missed there ?
