Sharing some of my views. The rest are quite standard and have been mentioned a lot of times here.
1. Tegal Sari: Managed to book the paddy view room 3 months ahead BUT it was after the harvesting season when i was there so nothing so see. Make sure you plan your trip well if you want to wake up to a scenic paddy view. They offer complimentary transportation service to Ubud town and charges apply if it's out of their complimentary area.
2. Naughty Nuri's: Can skip Ubud outlet as the one in Keborokan is more happening and seems to taste better.
3. Cuca Flavour: Indonesian Spanish cuisine in Jimbaran where each person (ideally) orders 3 dishes and the idea is meant for sharing. The dishes are in very small portion. It's a very good dining atmosphere to enjoy your wine and dinner slowly, accompanied by beautiful light music. I especially love their Sun-Gria cocktail. The price will be a little on the high side based on Bali standard.
4. Warung Menega: Seafood restaurant in Jimbaran which is much better than Lia Cafe. They serve fresher seafood and you get to choose your seafood while ordering. I see a lot of locals do eat here as well. It is located right across Le Meridien.
5. Blue Point Cafe: This is the most rip off cafe ever. Rp121k (incl. GST) for a cup of coffee and a small cake. They claimed they only have this afternoon tea set. And the man who served us is snobbish and looked arrogant. We were here just for the sake of the church. The guard will not let your car in if you do not spend in their cafe first. Make sure you ask if the church is open for viewing before that. We were lucky having to manage take pics of the church before it was barred from entering in preparation for a private event.
6. Outlets: Get your Billabong, Roxy, Quiksilver etc. apparel/bags/slippers at a discounted price. There are a lot along Jl. Sunset or Kuta area.
My driver charged Rp400k/day. He's a very happening fast & furious guy and doesn't mind to bring you to clubbing spots or even club with you but he speaks limited English and can understand/speak our Bahasa. But bear in mind his job is to drive you around or recommend you places so don't expect a tour guide standard that is able to tell you historical stories of the cultural places. Interested can PM me.
Ladies who are worried of becoming tanned please bring umbrellas along. The sun in Bali not kidding one. And also bring your own shawl/sarung to enter temples if you do mind to wear those they provide.
