just spent two days at the lovely Kusnadi Hotel in Legian. Loved this hotel and wished we had longer there. They didn't meet us at the airport as expected but told me I had not emailed the flight no. Never mind. Staff were lovely. Pool was fantastic. Superior rooms were ok bathroom could be a little better but still ok for price. Lovely area. So easy with everything close by. Did almost get ripped today at money changer near end of the street directly in front of Kusnadi on left had side. Daughter changed $50.00 and he counted out four lots of (20,000) notes. Then picked them up again and I grabbed them to count. Hello only 300,000. He quickly did something to calculator so it now showed 300,000 and said have to take commission etc, etc. I grabbed her $50.00 note that was still sitting on counter and said we go somewhere else. Two doors down a lovely AUTHORISED money changer with lovely 50,000 notes who counted and then did not touch again. So please beware.
We have arrived in Ubud tonight during a heavy downpour of rain at the Cendana Resort and it looks lovely. Looking forward to the next nine days here.
