After all that should be developed is the culture of Bali tourism . Therefore , the next entrepreneurs wear names like Mangala , Krishna , Angsoka , Nirvana , Lila Cita , Banyualit , Kalibukbuk , Aditya , Ayodia , and others . While Anak Agung Panji Tisna himself had built the hotel with the name " Sea of ​​Honey " , is located 100 meters to the west of Lovina , which is becoming an alternative destination . While Lovina should not be presented . Name Lovina kept by its owner , Anak Agung Ngurah Sentanu . After Lovina renovated cottage , then use an alias ie ​​: Pondok Wisata Jewel ( Jewel Cottages ) .
