Bali is a place named Australia.
I have not been there for a number of years, so therefore have no idea of the malaria situation on that particular "island".
To be serious, I actually live in Sanur just south of the Griya Santrian. Send me an email and the I will happily help you with most of your questions. I can possibly save you a few hundred pounds while you are here.
Spirits can be purchased here cheaper than you can buy from most Duty Free stores.
The Gria Santrian is a very nice place. Beautiful pool, beautiful beach, you will really enjoy it.
However just like any where else in the world, if you drink in your hotel and it will cost you the earth.
The crew here have a sweet little trick where they put ++ at the bottom of your menu. This means you are paying an extra 20-35% on top of the quoted prices.
