I am a regular to Bali and a regular to this site but I have a friend planning her first trip to Bali, they are hoping to go in November '09 for 1week - 10dys. She is not in our age group and has different needs to us so I am looking to anyone mid 30's with kids who may have some recommendations.
Two couples are going and each have a young child 18mths and 2yrs old. They would like to stay close to Kuta beach and close to shops including market shopping. Their accommodation budget is around $80/night but this is flexible. As their stay is only short I am trying to think of somewhere that will meet their needs. Nice clean rooms including breakfast, nice pool area, walk to beach and close to shops/markets. I will pass on any helpful information to them.
We are just back and I am not recommending Legian/Seminyak area because the foothpaths are a night-mare down that way and traffic to/from Kuta can be slow. They will have strollers for bubs. Any helpful tips are much appreciated. Cheers Robyn
