Sadly Bali is way too commercialized thanks mainly to the film industry.
Why don't you try Penang in Malaysia, its a small island off the Malaysian peninsula, people are great, food is fantastic and the hotels are amazing. Mostly run / operated by Germans so everything is expertly done.
Only problem i had in 10 years of vacationing there was that the German tourists get up at 5 am to secure the best location for there poolside loungers . I stopped this by chucking their books towels and shoes into the pool and took over their place at a more reasonable time. Other wise they would strole down after breakfast at 11am all the while keeping guests from enjoying a nice spot by the pool. Shortly after this incident the hotel stopped people saving loungers for themselves or for their friends
I should add i didn't just through one persons belongings in the pool i threw all of them, so 20 or so guests got real pissed, it was funny to see.
I used to stop off in Bangkok for a few days and then on to Penang for a nice 10 day rest. The lobster and Tiger prawns are huge
