In Reply to: Kumala Pantai or Maharta Legian? posted by Korina on Tuesday, 14. June 2011 at 18:50 Bali Time:
On a personal note, I would try the Maharta as opposed to the KP.
The reasons for my preference is that I did not enjoy the KP the last time I stayed (approx 2yrs ago) for a number of reasons, including soiled rooms, beds that had passed their 'used by' date & clientle that included a strong 'bogan element', for the want of a better descripiton. (Our first visit 2yrs prior to that was much better, hence our return).
Having said that, I have stayed at KP & have walked through the Maharta only.
2 similar properties in that they are both beachfront with traditional, tropical gardens:
Maharta - smaller, more intimate feel, recently purchased by Niksoma.
Hopefully someone who has stayed at both properties recently can comment more accurately from their own personal experiences.
Goodluck with your decision.
