has been a bit of flak over the place lately from forumites!!!
Stay at the Dynasty and you will not be disappointed, it is EXTREMELY kid friendly and I should know we just spent the last two months there, well give or take a few days!!!!
Big water slide plus a kids club which is free and open from 8am till 6pm. Yes the drinks and food are a little more expensive than out on the street but you are paying for a poolside, room service so that is to be expected.
Go down to the beach out back, the stallholders are lovely and the beer is reallllllly cheap from the little warung there and a great place to watch the sunsets. You can also get Windi the photographer from the Dynasty to meet you at the beach and take some fab photos of you all, for 50,000 per photo.
You can get interconnecting rooms, ask for Suma from Front Office and tell him Shauna said to look after you!!!
They have a great chinese restaurant there and on sundays there is an excellent dim sum day. Of course we are not talking cheap hotels here so maybe enquire first as to costs and then make your mind up.
As far as proximity to everything, its about 5 minutes by foot to Waterbom Park and Centro which has some delicious little food shops and not bad shopping up on the 2nd floor either. Kuta Square isnt that far away either. Then its a short taxi ride to Denpasar and up the other end to Legian and Seminyak if you want to explore.
Enjoy and feel free to ask any other questions
