weren't offered, but to be honest we never asked. Asked for transport and they offered us blue taxis, 38000 rph to Kuta near Discovery Mall, 48000 rph to Kuta near Poppies Lane 1. We only used the taxis a couple of times. I have the name, number and e-mail of the driver we used most and he had a small white bus, air conditioned and charged us 2000 rph more, but we got to know him really well and learnt a bit about the place. There was more room in the bus for the 4 of us and all our shopping. The business centre more of a large room really was where you could book all tours, same discounts as given by drivers and hawkers on the streets. Also where you could use internet, hire dvd players and ask about kids club/activities. Open from 8 til 8. We booked the elephant ride tour here, excellent, got picked up, driven 2 hrs, had ride for 35 mins on elephant, saw show, museum and had an excellent buffet lunch and then 2 hr ride home. Could stop for rice paddy photo shoot if you asked. A great day out and still time to go shopping later for the evening. Also booked waterbom park which helped as you queue to pay or queue for vouchers, voucher queue was quicker. Didn't include price for towels/lockers/cabanas or trip there and back. Hope this helps.
