In Reply to: Have made the decision... posted by Darby on Sunday, 11. October 2009 at 09:20 Bali Time:
it was so upmarket that it ceased to even feel like Bali. I have to admit this was many years ago and we had just spent time at the Hotel Tjaumphuan in Ubud, Taman Harum in Mas and Bali Mandira. It was our first trip and I concluded it with a stay at the most expensive of our hotels in Nusa. We might as well have been staying at Ob City in Perth, because it didnt feel like Bali at all. The sand out the front of the hotel had recently been imported!! and they paid a lady to come and pick up all the leaves and seaweed that washed up and bury them. It was a beautiful hotel (food pricey) but didnt feel like Bali which is why we have never gone back there.
But different people have different tastes and if you dont like the idea of a thatched Balinese bungalow then maybe Nusa is for you. Anyway I hope you have a great trip and enjoy not matter where you stay.
