i have loved writing them so much too! it almost feels like i'm back there, almost....i wish there were more days to write about!
we thouhgt we would up grade a bit next time and treat ourselves to a bit of luxury; so it will probably be the padma for us. honestly the garden deluxe room my parents had and the access to the garden vip club just look too good to miss - worth the extra money.
the lph wasn't too bad. we sort of grew into it over the first few days but it is very basic. alot of indonesian and asian tourists stay there and alot of the time we were the only aussies. so i guess it depends if you want to meet other aussies around the pool its not the best place. great location though and the staff were all great. as i mentioned in the jbrs i wouldn't bother including breaky in your package.
for about the same price as the lph there is the white rose hotel. its down a little alley way just off the right hand side of the memorial and it is much nicer than the lph. if i was going on the same budget as this year i would stay at the white rose for sure. just make sure you request a double bed when you book if you want one.
