Hi guys just returned from a very quick week . We had a bargain trip 7 nights 8 days full accom, taxes and airfares for $420 from Perth. We stayed at the Bakung beach cottages, effectively it cost us $ 20 per night each including breakfast. I have got to tell you it was a very budget, old, rundown hotel. The rooms were clean but that was about it. Aircon didn't work at first but got that fixed, phone didn't work and toilet blocked one day. As we only paid $20 we weren't expecting much but just wanted to let everyone know for future reference. The staff were nice, one even warned us not to swim in the pool because the water wasn't clean!
We visited the Bali Gardens. VERY NICE, will be staying there next time. Hotel lovely, food magnificent and really cheap. Friends stayed there for the same time as us and only paid about $800 each. A very viable alternative to the Dynasty which I absolutely love. Also visited the Febris, very nice also .
Ate at Minis one night which was again really nice, but the friends went the next night and said it was total crap, weird!
Diannes shop has moved around the corner, she is getting glass front shops should be ready in the next month. She was really good value as always, will be interesting to see what her prices are like when she moves.
Our driver Malik, who is on standby at the Dynasty, looked after us really well again, Highly recommend him.
Apparently it has been very quiet over there. The Dynasty is only at half capacity as they are still renovating.
Can't wait to go back
