In Reply to: Puri -v- Tunjung posted by MGM on Tuesday, 5. April 2005 at 11:51 Bali Time:
whilst sharon27 was staying next door at the Puri Raja, I would have to say, you're right re the puri. It seems to have alot more happening around its pool AND the big plus for me at the Puri was that there was a choice of pools and surfaces, ie grass vs cement, which I dont really like.
BUT having said that, the rooms at the Puri are absolutely basic, which is great I guess seeing as most people dont spend alot of time in them, I, on the other hand like to have just a little bit of luxury in my room and space, which is where the Tunjung wins hands down, the main bedroom and bathroom are really spacious. We had a 3 bed villa and each room had its own airconditioning as well as toilet and shower so definitely space was not an issue there. Also for relaxing at the Tunjung you couldnt beat the fact that the main bed had a tv as well as the living area downstairs, you could actually spend alot of time in the downstairs area and really only go upstairs to sleep. Also each room was lockable as of course, its all open plan. Have a look at webshots under shaunashots for pics of the tunjung if you want.
But I would say, go with your instinct and you will have made the right decision.
