well we are just home after 12 days at ramada bintang bali resort we wwont stay anywhere else next time the service was excellent and the food was to. prices were about the same as buying meals at your local club but they were much better.we had a seafood meal and watched the sunset at jambaran bay cost 220,000rph for two cost more for lobster we had fish and very large prawns pick your own and they smoke barbecue for you.all the seafood was kept on ice . only catch blue taxis cost us 15.00 dollars for five hrs, cheaper than tours.although we did do some 4 would only do the volcano and do the rest by taxi. much cheaper tour east very expensive. tuban to legian 4,300 in taxi dont get hotel to ring for a cab walk out the front and hail quarter the price toiletes are terrible felt sick every time i had to use one outside the resort . dont take the hawkers seriosly as they dont take us seriously its just a game to them . tolet them know i wasnt interested in there goods i either ignored them or waved my hand backwards at them they got the message we only changed our money at kodak outlets tuban and ubud had no problems ubud markets a must bought things cheaper and more variety than kuta legian.the shops girls in the fixed price shop ripped us off once some are not honest especially sweet poison so watch the prices on the clothes.dont pay anymore than $7.50 awatch. balinese just love aussies.they treAted us so well at the ramada that i wouldn't stay any where else . ENJOY. BUT REMEMBER WHEN YOUR BARTERING JUST HOW POOR THESE POEPLE ARE.
