In Reply to: Villas or apartments posted by Rosey on Sunday, 31. December 2006 at 06:26 Bali Time:
My 3 children (aged 18, 17, and 10) and myself have just returned from a stay at Jayakarta residences- It will be a perfect option for your childs ages.
We took a 2 bedroom apartment, though they do have one bedroom apts too!
Very large accomodation in a great location.
*2 bedrooms/ both carpeted and with adjoining balcony)
*2 bathrooms
*lounge with leather couches/
*lovely kitchen- granite benches/ SS cooktop, micro, large fridge
*dining with large six seater table
* 3 SPLIT SYSTEM AIR CON UNITS
* 3 TVS AND 3 DVD PLAYERS (SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM IN LOUNGE)
* BALCONY
* room service and full housekeeping daily
* approx 9 or 10 sq so very ample in space
I have stayed in many hotels in Bali- and found this a great haven with children, as I normally travel alone.
there is 2 lifts to the room that actually work!
When we stayed at Dynasty, this was not the case .
Will post JBR today regarding all the accomodation and experiences (Good and Bad)regarding our stay.
I have no negative comments regarding this accomodation as I find my children to be an excellent judge when it comes to crossing off our wish list- and they liked the privacy,space and comfort afforded to them here.
Here is the link- you will find very reasonable daily rates $ with them, and this has to be a bonus when travelling with children.
When I started pricing accomodation for us we found the eldest children to be classed as adults - therefore most hotels suggested 2 rooms as alot will not put 3 adults in one room - if that makes sense.
PS: we have a very good, extremely honest, inexpensive driver
that I have been using for 3 years-
His name is 'little Jonny' speaks excellent English
charges around 30$AUS a day and that is including anywhere on the island, and he also took us up to Lovina, stayed the night , then on to Amed, lowest price deal around, considering he knows all the shortcuts and the best routes so you can include many sites IE: monkey forest, volcano, snorkelling all in one day!
The children much prefer him, as the tour buses waste so much time driving around picking up everyone from their hotels.
His contact number is 081 79770737 (in Bali)
- or from Aust mobile( +62 81 79770737) you just drop the '0'
and add +62
"Have a great trip!"
