In Reply to: grand kumala v melati apartment ? posted by helenb on Sunday, 18. October 2009 at 10:22 Bali Time:
I have only atyed at Melati but have had friends stay at GK. They liked it - but it is considered a budget hotel, owned by the same people as Kumala Pantai which is more upmarket. The Beach Melati apartments are clean, modern apartments with the 2 bedrooms and one bathroom. The living area is very large and I am assuming the GK is just2 hotel rooms (but I may be wrong). Now that I have stayed in the apartments I would sway towards them because of the extra room.The kitchen is ample ( not that we cooked) and has a decent sizeed fridge.Position is great there too, you can walk through to the beach and get to all those restaurants easily but it is also very handy being on Jln Padma Utara. I hope this may help. For the extra $40 I would prefer more room.
