Hi Cath, I've just read your report. We(husband and 2 teenage children) have just booked into Ubud and Seminyak on the advice of our travel agent. Since paying, a friend advised me to read the Governments travel advice re Bali, and I'm now very concerned for the safety of my children. Did you feel safe when you were there? My travel agent told me that as long as we avoided Kuta we would be safe.I was told that Seminyak would be busy and a good place for the kids to shop .What do you think? I was also advised that the security was good at the resorts-but I do not want to feel like I am in a war zone!
