Hi! - regarding Pemuteran I do not know Reef View Bungalows but have always stayed in the 3 that are side by side, left to right - Taman Sari, Pondok Sari & Taman Selini. My pick of the 3 is Taman Sari for a few reasons - best restaurant, best setting for breakfasts, price, pool and the grounds. At Taman Sari we had an ocean view room and it was comparable with Taman Selini. In my opinion Pondok Sari has been over developed and the grounds feel crowded with too many units too close to each other.

Having said that you wouldn't be disappointed with any of the 3 but you may wish you has stayed at Taman Sari or Taman Selini once you get there.

Each of the properties has a different style of restaurant. Whilst they are all basically Indo they have influences - Taman Sari, Thai - Pondok Sari, Indo - Taman Selini - Greek. You are able to move about the 3 for meals but need to pay cash when eating away from your own hotel. There is a fourth property up the beach a little which is also connected with the Taman Sari and the accommodation seems to be quite pricey but is more bungalow/small house accommodation, many of the units being privately owned and rented out when the owners aren't using them. This property has a restaurant as well which is very nice and from memory has a European influence.

It is all good!

Transport to Pemuteran from Ubud by private driver is around rp 350,000 if arranged in Ubud. If you plan to come from Amed I would ask the hotel for a price to pick you up there. Conversely I would ask your hotel in Amed how much to take you to Pemuteran and compare. All of the hotels in Pemuteran will pick up from Ubud for a price. I would still do that rather than hire and drive. If you haven't been over the top to the North coast by road you will understand once you have done it!
