Hi Spida,
my sickness was in no way conected to the hotel.
I sometimes have a bad reaction when I eat prawns and this was one of those times.
My husband called the hotel doctor, he was there within 1/2 an hour was very kind and gentle.
Take the normal precautions... don't drink anything other than Bintang ;) and bottled water. That would probably be my main piece of advice. There are others such as don't eat fruit that can't be peeled from markets etc... I however did do this at the Ubud markets and was fine!?!? Yakult from the supermarkets in Bali is extremely cheap and I would reccommend one a day. We were told that if the tum gets a little sensitive to stay away from pineapple as it can make it worse.
I have been to Bali a number of times and this was the first time I had been sick.
