which is on Jalan Legian apposite the Adhi Dharma however Made was the best part of the hotel. Would not stay there again in fact called in the big manager and along with all others complained about the state of the hotel. We were also given a written guarantee of interconnecting rooms prior to booking which they did not have and had an incident early one morning when our youngest daughter disapeared from her room (she was sharing with oldest daughter). She could have ended up face down in the pool. The state of the hotel is disgusting. We actually have a weeks free accomodation at the Bali Prani as a result of our appaling experience at this hotel. Everyone who did stay complained and alot of people checked in saw the state of the rooms and check straight out. Would not recommend it to anyone. We were actually told that it was to be shut down and renovated but I dont think that has happened.
The baby monkey the girls held was at the market leading into the hot water springs and this one was extremely friendly. I was probably a bit niave when it came to the monkeys at the monkey forest however. My husband was very quick to usher our daughter up off the floor as was very concerned about her being bitten. We were just lucky I think. Did find some of the bigger ones a little aggressive if you had food but we didnt. From some of the stories I have read on BTF I consider us very lucky as we had great experiences with the monkeys but in hindsight would be more careful with the kids in future trips.
Cheers
