Hi There, You'll love the Samara Hotel! It's right in the middle of everything! The girls there give the BEST massages! It's a little spot of quiet in the middle of everything!
TIP: Don't change your money in the lane leading up to the hotel. I haven't had personal experience but have heard the money changers there are a little bit less honest than they should be! The Kodak or the Fiji shops are always a safe option. You'll also find proper money changers (There's one next to the Matahari in Kuta Square)who are also good. Might see you there, perhaps... I arrive on the 7th and will spend a bit of time visiting Samsara as my friend will be there. Was frightened the first couple of days on my first trip to Bali but have been back every year since 96! You'll have a ball!
