In Reply to: Sharon - where do you normally stay? posted by Balimagic on Friday, 1. July 2005 at 11:32 Bali Time:
We have stayed at Melasti in the old suite rooms (only 2 kids at that point).... has since increased in size and wouldn't choose to stay there now.... that said tho if I had to choose between MBR and not going to Bali I'd stay MBR lol...
Have stayed at Honeymoon Guesthouse in Ubud, Bayu Cottages in Amed, Bumi Ayu in Sanur and Puri Raja in Legian..
This trip we're going to Vila Shanti - Sanur, Tegal Sari - Ubud & back to Puri Raja.
Bumi Ayu was great, we just wanted to be on the beach this time. Honeymoon was great too just wanted to see what everyone else raves about with Tegal Sari plus Honeymoon is getting quite pricey.
Puri Raja is similar standard to MBR but it's a smaller hotel with only around 70 rooms to MBR's 180. Food is better at Puri, staff are friendly. A family of 4+ needs to book 2 rooms at all of the above hotels except MBR.
