Too many go to those and they will put up the price behond my reach.
Dewi Sri has gone up about 40% since January. Dewi Sri is close to night life but further away from beach. It is not really suited to the young ones. Stayed there the last 3 times and average age about 45 and the bar does not play music.
We have stayed previously at the Bounty and would stay again in the top of the range rooms next time. Bigger, newer and cleaner. Good breakfasts and location is good. Agree that the basic rooms are cheap and nasty. The Barong opposite seems to always have complaints of blocked Sewerage in Busy times.
There is a new/refurbished hotel re-opening very soon opposite Kuta Bex. Sister hotel to the Bali Garden Hotel. Sorry can't remember the name. Inquired to stay there in two weeks but some work will still be going on so opted out. Also the Hard Rock is recommended by my sister.
