No I am not in Bali but have been in the same position as yourself with hotels telling me they are full. I call a TA here in Australia now and they have rooms. The reason is they are agents for the wholesaler and they have an allocation. I see you have booked Peneeda for around $114 a night for two people. I would imagine your local agent would have given you a better deal but I don't know obviously. Peneeda is a nice hotel but a walk along the beach to cafes, shops etc. It will take you around 20 mins to walk to Sindhu beach area...but is a pleasant walk. I would imagine that with a TA you would have got a slightly better positioned hotel for your situation for a similar price. Nothing wrong with Peneeda was just thinking of your Mum:)
