Totally Agree, while we have had 7 trips over 7 years to Bali the recent being April. Did not give us the WOW factor as previous years Have stayed in 4 different places over those 7 years but always return to the old favourite K.P still didnt get the WOW factor several early am mornings woken up by inconsiderate people thinking they were the only ones on holiday!!!!!!Needed a break away so headed to Phuket for 2 weeks in October. It was our 2nd trip hated it back in 2007 but went this time with different attitude and open mind and did not compare it to Bali as much and YES we got the WOW feeling again. Sensational place just like we felt about Bali up until last year. So much to offer lovely resort for same price or cheaper than we pay in Bali (October is low season) but a breeze going through airport and customs as compared to Denpasar Airport people are fantastic Bali is definatly cheaper for transport and Yes we did miss our friends that we have met and kept in contact over the years but so undecided whether we will return to Bali for our next annual holiday or go elsewhere. To much is changing over there and we all work to hard to save our money to have a holiday that gives us the excitement of something to look forward to after all our bad days at work. Still have so many fond memories and friends we have met along the way but thinking maybe another destination may bring back our WOW factor again!!!!!!Only our opinion!!!!!!
