We just spend 2 days at Bali Padma Hotel. This is truly a 4 * hotel, I would even say 5*. Very nice service. We booked the chalet luxe and received an up-grade to the Garden chalet luxe (without the privileges of the Club Lounge, only room up-grade, but we were very happy with this!)Breakfast was heaven, from Japanese, Thai, Indonesian to American, realy very luxurious breakfast, which was included in the price. I booked the hotel through Neckermann Germany for euro's 108,-- per night incl. breakfast.
Free internet in lobby! We could'nt get a sim card at the small supermarket in Jln. Padma anymore, but when you walk towards Jln. Legian, you cross Legian Street at the corner and walk in to the road that continues. 2nd building on your right you see a sign hanging with Warung Telkom and a sign outside with the prices for the sim cards. Name of the store± Armada Cell. A very nice lady got us hooked up, explaining to us the cheapest way to call home and how much everything costs. Good friendly Service! We had a meal at sawasdeekha Thai restaurant in the street across from Jayakarta. Good prices: 1 fish cake entry, 1 fish cake prawn entry, 1 Pad Thai, 1 chicken curry, 1 tofu vegetable, 2 glasses Aga white, 2 Bintang, all for 280.000, there prices are all inclusive, nice service too.
We're now moving to Bali Mandira across the street from Padma, we'll be back. Enjoy your holiday!
