Hi Kylie, thanks for the interesting JBR.
We stayed at SuriWathi for 2 days Aug 17 and 18, then back again Aug 27 to Sept 8.
We also heard about those revolting Aussies and felt terrible concern for that little girl.
Why oh why a woman stays with a man like that, I will never know. Most likely same at home too.
I never like hotel soap so always take my own, so SuriWathi not providing it isnt an issue for us. We did have a bath mat and when I wanted it washed they took it away so I used a towel after that. I agree about the basic breakfasts. We either ordered extra and paid (only 10,000 or so) or went out for breakfast. Maybe Ketut the cook needs to get out more and see what can be offered to guests and similar cost. Our pillows were fine this time (room 17a and 16a) but last March Sharon went out and bought a better pillow for herself.
The accomodation price there is very reasonable and the location is ideal for our requirements. We'll be back again and will deal with any issues that arent quite right.
