In Reply to: The Living Room or Ma Joly...... posted by ella on Monday, 22. August 2005 at 16:15 Bali Time:
My reasons are -
From memory you are staying at Bali Hai, why risk Kuta/Legian traffic jams (which are notorious) to get from the ceremony at Bali Hai to Seminyak. They are opposite ends and it could take 20 mins or more by taxi.
No need to organise taxis either way (although this isn't too much of a problem in Bali) unless late at night you get the driver who refuses to turn on his meter
I have never been to the Living room but Ma Joly is beautiful - right on the waters edge.
The food is fantastic
The mango daiquiris are monstrous and delicious
How much dearer is Ma Joly in real terms? A couple of dollars per person
Worth it to be so close to Bali Hai
Maybe you and your new husband could have a special dinner at Living Room before you come home
Whatever you decide, have a wonderful time
