What a shame about the Jayakarta. You would have been soooo disappointed. I wouldn't have been happy either. We stayed in a private apt there in Dec, and have booked twice more, albeit thru a different owner this time but other reports on it have all been good. We usually stay in Sth Kuta but didn't mind the location for a change. We really didn't use the hotel facilities at all other than the pools and I've read about lots of hotels that have slippery areas, incl the Jayakarta and was just extra careful. There are certainly a heap of good restaurants around that area to go to. Maybe try KP next time if you like the area. I've not stayed there but people rave about it - if you can get in that is!
Sounds like you had a great time in Sanur. Haven't stayed over there before but have booked a quick trip in Nov and are just going to go to Sanur to try it out. Figure if we don't like it at least we've only booked for 4n!
Great reports, sounds like you got heaps done and enjoyed your trip despite the disappointment at Jayakarta.
Thanks!
