say that many places in Australia are the same is really letting your country down and is also absolute rubbish.
If an Australian hotel had a pool as described with children slicing feet and older people tripping and nosediving it would be closed down by Health and Safety or whatever you call it in a flash and it would cost the owner heaps.
The Melasti is overpriced for what they deliver so the least anyone can expect is a safe pool.
As for roads etc - stupid comparison. Don't compare a public utility with a private money making business. As you know Indonesian owned hotels are notorious for lack of maintainance.
