Hi there. We spent 3 weeks in Bali last year for Xmas and have decided never to go at that time again. Don't get me wrong, we had a ball but the rain got to us and yes we did know it was the wet season. We have been early Jan a few times and didn't ever experience rain like that.
We were in Legian and found it hard to get to Kuta in a taxi because of the flooding. We could get there but it was taking up to 1.5 hrs.. This was on days that the rain didn't let up.
Having said that we did enjoy the time there and experiencing Xmas and New Year there. It was greatly celebrated. Hotels usually have a compulsory dinner which we enjoyed. They also put on entertainment. As i said we did enjoy it but won't go again.. We are off again soon and very much looking forward to it.
Cheers
