It is a wonderful, seamless experience, so even though there are other wonderful places in Bali, it is nice to be able to relax and let Aman simply take care of the whole thing for you -- the transfers are seamless and incredibly comfortable. You won't have to worry about a thing from the moment you land in DPS.

Ask Amanjiwo to send you their excursion information. It contains a map of the resort, with each pavilion numbered, so that you can request one on the front row facing Borobudur. I don't really think it's worth getting a private pool at Amanjiwo, as the main pool is so nice and untrafficked, but you can choose from the map which pavilion has the best views, and the pool ones alternate
with the non-pool ones, so there are equally good views from both.

I'd want 3-4 nights at Amanjiwo, depending on your appetite for cultural sights -- 3 nights if you're more interested in beach/ocean/diving, so that you could spend more nights at Amankila and Amanusa.

At Amanwana, you may want to request a higher number tent that is further from the main camp -- these had better views of the ocean and were much more secluded and romantic. Definitely go for an ocean front tent rather than a jungle tent.

My ideal would be 3 nights at each, with a 4th night at Amankila, my favorite of the bunch.

Should be a wonderful honeymoon.

Yes, do write to Amanwana's GM , Kevin B , he'll be very pleased . Ocean front tents 10 & above are best but not too large as then it's quite a stroll to meals . After dinner or at night, I was glad my tent was not that far away

Wow, just reading the responses , I can hardly wait to return Bali .. Kila early in 2012
