Just returned from a 9 day/8 night stay at the Bakung Sari hotel in kuta. Have stayed before and can't talked highly enough of the service and value for money. I emailed prior to arrival and requested a poolside room which i received. Dont be fooled by the price of this hotel. It is balinese owned and staffed and is in a great location. Having had 10 trips in 4 years i must say this was the least busy i have found bali. The people seem positive but the pressure is on. Bali is still a great holiday.
