for a family of 4 its perfect. i would go for a Haven Suite, and the additional 1 bedroom. you will have a TV in the master bedroom, one in the living room and the boys will have one in their room too.
1) I have read plenty of good reports re Breezes but nothing on the Haven Seminyak Suites?
The Haven has only just opened. i absolutely love it, and prefer it over Breezes, but Breezes DOES have the better pool.
2) Is Seminyak good for shopping ie Surf T shirts, Games for NDS etc or are the best deals in Kuta?
Yes.
3) Years ago we were told not to drink Water in Bali unless it was in a bottle, has this changed?
No. i would never drink water from the tap, but i DO use it for cooking and brushing my teeth.
4) Keen on seafood what is a reasonable price to pay for a meal?
Depends where you go. I cant advise on this sorry.
5) Keen to do some surfing lessons for myself and 10yr old?
I would go to Pro Surf. they are wonderful.
6) Do people still take emply bags and buy clothes etc when they get there?
Absolutely.
