Well we have not yet had our upcoming trip (4 days to go!) but already we are thinking about our next trip !! Our first trip was in 2000 (just hubbie & I), last year we went with our 3 kids (11, 8 & 6) and this time its just us again (15th anniversary)
We are always raving to our family about how much we love Bali and my husband & I have been talking about shouting both sets of our parents to come along with us on our next trip. Both sets of parents have always been really good to us and we would like to do something to say a HUGE thank you for all they have done over the years (babysitting etc) that has helped put us in the position of being able to afford to do something in return. Don't get me wrong we are not so well off that it wouldn't be more sensible to pay off the mortgage first BUT we are conscious of leaving it so long that their health might mean we dont get the chance to do this.
So we are hoping to take the chance on this trip to check our some accomodation options on this trip. We would be 2A & 3 children (so need family room or 2 connecting rooms) and then two further rooms for each set of parents. In the past we have stayed at the Legian Paradiso & a private apartment at the Jayakarta. This time we are staying at the Kumala Pantai.
We prefer the Legian area and would like to be within reasonable waling distance to the beach (the major minus of the Legian Paradiso). Obviously coming all the way from NZ and with a larger group we need to keep the cost to a minimum but we dont want anything too grotty !! Im assuming most villas would still be more costly that a budget / moderate hotel?
Any suggestions to add to our list of places to check out would be appreciated.
Thanks heaps
