let's look at this a bit closer.
Alot of hotels in bali have ants. One of mine did,not uncommon.
Alot of pools in bali are a bit milky.....not uncommon and this is why i take aqua ear and also tell the kids to keep their head out of the water as much as they can ( i know is hard that's why i carry aqua ear but can also cause bali belly if you ingest the pool water)And actually when in Sydney recently my husbands bathers went from olive green to yellow in 20 minutes from the chlorine in the pool and his eyes were very sore.
I have read of people that got sick from the plane food.
Bali is slow to come to your attention and so that does not surprise me.
Bintang is not served at all hotels in bali iether.
Bathrooms are often in a sorry state.
Look my point is alot of what you have written is actually often the case in a budget hotel.....so it seems to me that perhaps the white rose has slipped a tad in stars *** and also it sounds like you had a standard room and not a deluxe.
Was your room cleaned? Were the staff nice?
If i am wrong and you are aware and have experienced all of these things before and this is not the same,then i am outa line and apologise for bringing them up....but i would not like to think that these guys were put off going there for something that goes on in other places also through lack of money and business.
People have been busy putting bali garden down too but others are coming back saying is value for money and good.
