In Reply to: Novotel Benoa & Patra - advice? posted by richosbali on Wednesday, 28. April 2010 at 20:30 Bali Time:
times and restaurants along beach up to centro is excellent choice and location and easy footpath to push bub in pram (just becareful of sun !! hot with bubbs!) evening walks to shops along beach is nice, we would always catch cab in hot morning sun as sooo cheap or book hotel shuttle..from experience with cots in the past and not at the patra, when my daughter was a toddler and in the cot i heard a creeking noise during the night and woke (mothers intuition!) the base of her cot was going to fall out and we got to her in time, i think cot was just old and maybe previous kids in it jumping etc caused this to happen, but to look at the cot it was fine, i take dettol wipes and wiped all slats in cot and edges in case she put her mouth on it etc, would she sleep in a portacot?? these are cheap and they could put cot mattress in? if you are concerned but when you get cot from hotel just inspect it...they are pretty good but just check yourself and you would know...my kids are 7 and 8 and have been 12 times and love it and we love the patra, i have taken a new microwave over cheapie from big w and then left with friend as i would heat her bottle and heinz tinned meals etc, taken over 3 in total and found was best thing i ever did. I would feed kids in room and then we would go to dinner and give them breads etc or white rice to nibble...if you want anymore info jsut ask...enjoy...
