Sorry, been off here for a few days.
We've stayed at the Naviti twice (with kids and friends) and also stayed at Plantation Island.
We were in Bali this past July and loved it. We stayed one night at the Safari Park, 4 nights Kuta and 4 nights Benoa. We absolutely loved Kuta!! It's all the hustle and bustle I think. We didnt really see the Aussie Bogans, but we also weren't out at night or in areas that they hang out I guess.
We are going back in January and staying at Club Med, for a completely different holiday. We plan on going back into Kuta for a day, and also redoing Waterbom park and the Segways tour.
Not sure how you feel about it, but we did swimming with the dolphins. It was amazing. They are in pens in the ocean, but are apparently let out and return of their own free will. I guess you need to make the choice if you agree with this or not.
We didnt do Ubud last time, and think we'll give it a miss again. We do plan to do a day trip around some of the beautiful beaches like Uluwatu, Padang Padang and Secret beach. A day trip is about $50-$60 now. I believe petrol prices increased sometime last year. We did pay our driver about $80, but we were very happy with him.
Let me know if you want any more info on Bali.
