I find it hard to pick favourite hotels as I've always had great Bali holidays at each and every one of them.
Some of these hotels are better quality or more up-market than others of course, but each one has special memories.
Bali Padma, Legian
Hotel Jayakarta, Legian
Ramada Bintang Hotel, Tuban (twice)
Gazebo Hotel, Sanur
Puri Santrian, Sanur
Pondok Ayu, Sanur
Tjampuhan Hotel, Ubud (twice)
Tegal Sari, Ubud
This coming trip in August we'll be staying at
Villa Indah, Ubud
Sanur Beach Villas, Sanur
Novotel Bali Benoa, Tanjung Benoa
If I had to choose, I'd say the Jayakarta was probably my least favourite.
Generally, I tend to not stay at the same place twice even if we've really liked it.
I find that staying at different places for me is new and interesting and makes for a more exciting holiday experience.
So far I've been lucky to not get stuck in a dump.
and I too am starting to lean towards the smaller, more personal accomodations and as far away from Kuta/Legian as possible.
