Hi lkr,
My family and I stayed at the Jayakarta for 3 weeks in Sept/Oct this year. My kids ages are 10,12+15.
We love the place.
Plenty of restaurants close by, Our favourite was Zanzibar - out the front onto the beach road, turn right abd about 150 metres along.
At The Jayakarta you will find lots of other families.
Your kids will make friends real easy - and they will be off your hands.
The Kumala Pantai is almost mext door to the Jayakarta.
The hotel has nicer rooms and grounds, but is not as open as the Jaya.
Kumala P also tends to attract more of a couples market.
If I was travelling on my own _ I would prefer the K Pantai,
But with Family - definately the Jaya.
Friends also stayed at the Melasti - they were dissappointed.
