In Reply to: Barong Hotel (Poppies 2) = FAIL posted by Barry on Friday, 24. June 2011 at 14:31 Bali Time:
I really appreciate your post.
I usually stay at the Satriya Cottages on poppies 2 but fortuanately its all booked for our stay in 4 weeks.
I remember walking past this hotel when shopping and remembered it as a possability due to location for any future stays in bali.....
This time im taking my baby and 2 kids under 10, my sister and brother in law and their lil girl and my 19 yr old brother...so more of a family holiday.....some havent been to Bali before and I am so so grateful for your advice and comments.
I was umming and rrrring wheather to stay here after reading some posts but the location kept drawing me to book. I usually pay approx $60 - 70 for accomodation per night and through booking.com, they wanted $75 but the fact we could pay on arrival, i booked. but luckily can still cancel with no penalties.
Bed bugs ive never had yet ( touch wood), budget low variety breakies ive had but prefer buffet variety, location important but dont mind walking.....In the end I want a happy trip, especialy with the kids. I dont have the money to just book somewhere else either if we come across problems as they wont refund you once you have paid so I am going to look somehwere else and so thankful for all these posts. reading them all has cleared up some of my doubts and given me info I needed.......
now I just have to find a hotel where i can provide c/c details to and pay on arrival, is kids friendly and close to kuta shopping....if anyone has ideas, ild love to hear them from past experiences....email open!!
