Hey we stayed there last sept and been there every year before for the last 5 years.
Awesome hotel, right on the beach! Beautiful large swimming pool and breakfasts to die for!
Not staying there this year unfortunately as our kids are nearly 2 and 5 and too hard to share a room with them so staying in an apartment in legian but am going to miss being down that way a lot.
We eat at the hotel beachfront rest once or twice nice food and prices okay, we get a deal if we stay 10 or more nights we usually get 20% off food and drink bill and that saves us heaps as we usually drink and eat lunch by the pool with the kids.
Heaps of awesome restuarant close by. Febris across the road and up a bit heading to town is great, lots of good reports on here about it! Big variety of food, great seafood and cheap cheap cheap with nightly entertainment. When you come out of the bintang and turn left a few doors up is a small rest called garis garis (not open mondays) I love it there too cheap and yummy food.
When you come out of hotel turn left there is a small mini mart and an alley way down there is good tailor and also at end of lane laundry place they did huge loads of my washing and the kids for like $5, so cheap!!
We always for last 6 years get our dvds from the bright green or yellow dvd shop across the road from discovery kartika, you cant miss it and they will tell you what is good and bad copy and if you have any probs you can take back anytime.
We use a drive from outside bintang his name is wayan (like all the others) but is great, loved our kids and used him the whole time, he would come shopping with us and carry the shopping or push the pram for me, when he took us to the airport he had a tear in his eye and the kids were so sad to say goodbye to him, but he will be picking us up from the airport this june. If you want his details or any more info about ramada please email me on

Cheers and enjoy
