hi orick, myself and family stayed in the villa at the bali garden (kuta) from 25/1/05 until 1/2/05. thought it was pretty good, location i felt was a bit to close to everything, we were kept awake most nights by the thumping of music coming from night clubs near by even though we were a good distance from the main road, we also had a big, big problem with mosquitos for the entire time we were there, even my mother who never ever gets bitten by them woke each morning with bites. we tried coils, mosquito spray and electric mosquito devices that plug into the sockets, we put these in all rooms and all still work with hundreds of bites. the place itself was quite lovely, nice pool area with swim up bar, breakfast fine, staff all professional and friendly, room clean very well, sometime not until late in the day as the place was full to the max, we had good people staying whilst we were there, all very friendly and sociable. i don't think that we would stay there again, no fault of the hotel for the problems we had, mosquitos and thumping music, although may seems trivial to some, those two things did wear us our night after night, scratching and laying awake trying to sleep. regards and have a good trip
