Good guidebook for Bali/Lombok

We used this guidebook extensively on both Bali and Lombok for our recent honeymoon. The restaurant recommendations were spot on! We ended up staying one night in the Gili's as a result of recommendations from this guidebook. There was an amazing Reggae bar in Gili T. There is also a good background section about Bali history. If you are considering a trip to Bali - you should definitely stay on Lombok as well. It's like Bali 20 years ago - with no traffic, just beautiful beaches, great inexpensive food, and the Gili's just a short boat ride away.

One of the best travel books I've used

I went to a bookstore and browsed all the Bali travel guides and loved the layout of this one. When planning a trip, there is so much information and this book has really helped me sort it all out. What I love is that it has a 1-3 star rating system for sites, restaurants, and cities. This is so helpful when picking which of the hundred temples you want to narrow it down. A lack of a rating system dissuaded me from buying the Lonely Planet. Another thing I liked is the first chapter gives you a list of the 5-10 best temples, spas, restaurants, etc. It also suggests activities such as cooking classes and alternative healing. If Eat, Pray, Love partially inspired your trip, it even tells you how to look up the medicine man. For me, food is an essential part of any trip and the restaurant recs check out nicely with other sources. The only thing that could be improved is travel times, especially since it takes a while to travel on the roads within Bali. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this book, how it's organized and the valuable information given.
