Just to compare. I went out for lunch on the weekend at a hotel on the Sunshine coast QLD. Nothing on the menu less than $20.00. A beer $5.00. I can buy a western style meal and a beer for around $10.00 or less in Bali. If I eat at a warung, and have a juice can pay $5.00 or less. I've been visiting Bali since 1983. Yes prices have increased, however still cheaper than in Australia. You can still get very decent rooms in Bali cheap! I love the people and the Island. The service I received from the waiters on the weekend at the sunshine coast,was nothing short of disgusting and we had to return two sets of dirty cutlery. Yes there are now high end and low end and in the middle range places to eat and stay in Bali. It's all up to what you want to pay and where you want to stay.
