I agree the Patra was too far out for me - I like to be able to just walk out and be in the thick of things.
I love BGH I have been staying there since before they renovated and liked it then. The rooms were a bit tired but location and staff make up for it. I didnt spend a great deal of time in the room anyway. Since they have renovated the grounds it is much better. 3 pools and restaurants all nice.
I stayed there in March and the room was renovated. I deal with Pony and he made sure I had a new room so I could see what it was like. The furniture is all new and they have put new tiles on the floor. The bathrooms havent been completed as they are doing these last.
I have booked to stay there in Oct with the family and have 2 rooms. I always book over the garden.
I am off tomorrow and staying at Dewi Sri only because BGH was booked by the time we organised our trip.
My sister in law has been at BGH for the last 7 days, leaving tomorrow, and has no complaints.
I couldnt recommend BGH enough obviously this is just my personal opinion but the hotel is quite often booked so there are lots of others who agree.
You will love the location and the boardwalk that goes along the beach is fantastic you can walk along into Kuta easily now without walking actually on the beach.
