questions .... Luckily I don't get RSI as I type fairly slow so it takes me a while to do them up. It's hard to compare Jubawa and Taman Sari as they are 'stars' apart, but Jubawa is not a 'resorty' place, only 12 or so bungalows with no swimming pool but a 5 minute walk to the beach, clean and good value with friendly staff and delicious food in their restaurant and cold bintang, and you feel like you are staying more in the 'village community' there as there are family compounds next door and in the immediate area, with their little morning stalls selling vegetables and fruit, chooks, kids etc. , I suppose if you wanted to have a pool, more of a resort feel (no local community atmosphere unless you walk down the beach to a village) and if you want to stay right next to the beach, with pool bar etc. Taman Sari would be the best value and the staff there are very pleasant. A mixure of nationality guests stay at Taman Sari (without being rude) I think there may be more europeans staying at the Taman Salini which is more expensive). Will post my next JBR tonight. Glad you are enjoying them.
