In Reply to: PURI RAJA BEACH HOTEL ????? posted by lkr on Friday, 5. November 2004 at 16:39 Bali Time:
We have stayed there 7 times the most recent June this year. Next year we have already booked in for July in a deluxe room. You will have to have two room with 3 children. I do not know if they have interconnecting rooms. There is upstairs and downstairs and I prefer upstairs as it is more private, but I have read that some people like downstairs as it is more social. If you sit on your porch you have to say "good day" every 5 minutes. The deluxe rooms are about $100 a couple as against $68 for standard rooms. I agree with "meercatjess's" comments. They have recently included breakfast- eggs any way you want, cornflakes, baked beans, toast fruit drinks and unlimited tea or coffee, also they have tea-making facilities in the room(take your own teabags or purchase them from the little supermarket across the road). I also empty the fridge and fill it with stubbies from the supermarket, you will find anything purchased in the hotel will have 21% added to the published price. The restaurant is OK but dearer than outside. If you go to the beach there is a road running parallel to the beach, head north past Jayakarta and there are several restaurants, Benny's and Tekor Bali are good. Jalan Rum Jungle has good restaurants, Bali Qui11, and Tommy's (for snacks) are good.
Have a good trip,
