In Reply to: Jimbaran - Intercontinental - Keraton posted by barnaby on Tuesday, 5. May 2009 at 03:53 Bali Time:
We know both properties quite well. Have stayed in Keraton and visited Intercontinental. The properties are about a 15 minute walk along the beach. As you know the Intercontinental is a large scale international style resort, we don't need to tell you about that. The Keraton is the direct opposite. It is small, boutique style. It has a nice pool and is right on the beach, closer to the beach restaurants. There is not too much within walking distance, but transport is easy. The rooms are separate cottages, two side by side with upstairs. They are large, clean and very Balinese in style. The staff are friendly. Personally, we think this has a far more intimate feel than intercontinental, but it depends on what you are looking for.
