In Reply to: Lots of stuff to see & do in east Bali. posted by Filo on Tuesday, 1. July 2008 at 01:56 Bali Time:
several months in 2003 and found that accommodation in the area ranged from backpackers from 60.000 up to $80.00 at some of the boutique places.
Very adequate accommodation with air con and hot water, either beach front, or above the road could be had for between Rp120.00 - 300.000.
Pity you didn't look a bit harder as the place knocks spots off Candi Dasa!
Like it or not the USD is still the world's major currency and most commodities and many better hotels throughout Asia are quoted in this currency. I notice how you converted everything to Aust dollars which is natural, but many Non Americans automatically convert to USD.
