I was in Bali last November at Idul Futri. The Kuta Paradiso had been recommended as a quiet hotel with very few children. I had suggested the Dynasty but was told it is full of children so took the travel agents advice. Travel agents here are not aware of Idul Futri. java closes fown for a week and everyone comes to Bali with all the family, yound and old, and their 4WD. Traffic is at a standstill. The hotels are full, Kuta paradiso was so overflowing that they opened the ballroom as an extra breakfast area. You couldn't get near the pool. Caucasians were definitely looked down on by the javanese, who do not keep their children in check. I would never go back when this holiday is on. I am returning to Bali but in May.
