Thanks Kay - yes we had a fabby holiday.
It just keeps on getting better every year. Added bonus this year - no bali belly (something I have suffered with every year for the past nine years - yeee haaa)
In answer to your questions.........
Use the safety deposit boxes available at the main reception as there is no safety boxes in the rooms - don't lose the key though - will cost you US$50.00 to have the lock broken.
We always lock our suitcases when not in the room - just in case . If you advise the duty manager at reception that you will be leaving your room for a few days housekeeping will be advised so that your room will not be entered by hotel staff. Handy hint... leave your Do Not Desturb sign on the door when you go for those few days.
Try to take bank notes not travellers cheques as you will ALWAYS get a better rate. On Sunday the rate was 4,860 to the aussie dollar it peaked at 5,300 the day before Independence day and has slowly declined since then.
Hope this helps and have a great holiday. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with (I really must get to and do "my just back report"!)
Cheers
