I went to Bali about 5 yrs ago and booked through an travel agency. This time i want to book flight and hotel separately as i have been told that i can save $$$ doing it this way. I would like to go in April and as I am on a tight budget ( I desperately need to get away asap for my own sanity) would like advice on where to look and the best options on flights and hotels to stay at. I would like to stay in Kuta and as long as the hotel clean and friendly, walking distance to department stores and shops, (pubs and beach is not a priority) has room service, an in room safe, working air con, and no lizards running through room, I will be happy. I would appreciate any advice I can get from fellow travelers.
