You have made some valid points.
We are also having terrible problems with mix-up with bookings, hard to confirm booking made 7 months ago and reconfirmed over the past few months. The owners of our hotel dont seem to be taking the bookings responsibility seriously. As you mentioned, the hotels are currently full, they think they are doing it right and dont need to concentrate on record keeping. More so, since they are full, they need to pay attention to maintaining the standards of the rooms, keeping pool clean and clear and grounds, or else, recommendations will cease.
We are a fickle lot, us tourists, if the hotel changes too negatively, we will go elsewhere.
Take note above regarding Secret Garden Inn......
We have found when we have headed off on adventures and stayed in other areas, we have felt like we have enjoyed a number of holidays. We have stayed in Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Ubud, Sanur, Pacung, Lovina, Gianyar and Tulumben. We used to day trip to explore but these days always stay a night or two to get a better feel....
