In Reply to: The Park Now Have Their Own Hotel But posted by Balimagic on Monday, 27. February 2006 at 16:46 Bali Time:
The Elephant Safari Park in Taro is building accommodation, but it is not finished. I was there 2 weeks ago & they told me it will be finished next year. I had a fantastic time at the park & it is worth the $68 USD it costs for a package - transport, an elephant ride & buffet lunch).
As to Ubud - it is only 20-30 minutes drive from the park, & well worth staying there for a few days. I stayed at the Tegal Sari Hotel, which cost me 400,000Rp ($57 AUD) including breakfast, for a super deluxe room (their newest rooms) which was gorgeous, right by the rice paddies & easy walking distance to the Monkey Forest. The hotel has a free shuttle service around Ubud too. If you would like to see photos of the hotel, email me :-)
