I was in Bali for two weeks in September and didn't take any malaria tablets. I was told the risk was very low and was not keen to take
medication.
We stayed at Ananda Cottages Ubud and I used tropical strength Rid all the time. In Australia I never get bitten. I got eaten alive in Ubud.
There is no glass in the windows at Ananda but there were mosquito nets around the bed - not enough to protect me though. Noone else in my family was bitten.
I haven't come down with malaria - yet - and I don't rerget not taking medication.
There was a fair bit of rain when we were there too.
