Hi have stayed there many times now. Love it! Change money in hotel, its about the same as on street and a lot less bother. As you walk out of hotels front entrance (before you actaully leave the hotels grounds) take a left when you see all the staff bikes and go past hotel laundry, and out of the side (staff) entrance. Immediately to your left is a god supermarket.If you want to use your cards at an ATM whilst there to get cash out (never know how much you'll spend once you hit the shops) immediately to your right there is ATM machine and its insdie a little glass kiosk so you are private. Don't forget to go to the hotels Japanese restaurant on one of their Buffet nights, its fantastic food and great value, about 160,000 RUP inclusive. KeTumBa on Melasti street is good. Restaurant next to Dolphin leather (might also be called Dolphin) is great if you like a good Rendang curry. Yu'tz is one of the best for good steaks, and their desserts are real nice too. IF you fancy going along the main front ocean road, theres a good restaurant again great for steaks, called Oceans or Ocean Blue...lovely setting, with lots of lights hanging from trees. Ah and when in Kuta, maybe after a good shopping day, dont go home before you have gone to Bubba Gumps, the RIBS are delicious, the Salads are Fantastic, and when you order a Margarita drink you'll LOVE the surprise!!! Enjoy. Can't wait til Sept and our next trip.
