There is no link to check your prices, Castlegar!
If you do an online search of these hotels & look at the hotel's own websites, you can compare their prices to those quoted by your travel agent. If the travel agent is more expensive, book with the hotel directly for the better price.
Better yet, do a 'Bali Hotel' search and pick a hotel of your own choosing, rather than the travel agent's and book directly with the hotel. There are good accomodation forums at Mic's Bali Forum, often including photos - http://micbali.proboards21.com/index.cgi.
http://www.tripadvisor.com has good hotel reviews too.
You can also search this website archives by typing in a hotel name.
You often find that airfares are cheaper online too if you are prepared to do a little research, bypassing the travel agent altogether. Researching & planning the trip is half the fun!
