Hi,
I normally travel to Bali with my mum who is 72 and i am 50 ish.
We have stayed at the Padma in June last year. Lovely place but i don't think its a good place to stay when you are by yourself. A bit too big. We also went in November last year and stayed at the Casa Padma, which we found great especially the eating place out the front and attached to the Casa Padma called Drops. It is also a smaller place and you tend to interact more with people in a place that is smaller. I agree with shazwayne about what he/she says about accomodation and the places they have suggested are good. A bit more central to the shopping. Just step out of your hotel and you are in a good shopping area. We are going over again in June and staying at quite a few places this time including the Mandira for 5 nights mainly cause my mum wants to see what it is like and also going back to the Casa Padma. Anyway just my thoughts.
Regards, Leonie
