We are also considering the Deluxe Suites at the Patra but have a family of 5. The area that your daughters slept in, did it have an actual bed or was it a sofa bed? Was there enough room for a cot in there as well?
My most important question is about the beach. What was it like? I think I read somewhere (might have been Tripadvisor)that the sand was abit rough (not like the sand on Legian Beach). Did you swim in the ocean? Was it okay?
We are going to be travelling with 2 other families with kids and the beach will be a big part of our trip. We're from Canada and live about 1200 km. away from the nearest ocean so having a nice beach and water to swim in is farily important.
Could you walk on the beach down to the Discovery Mall area?
Thanks for any info you can give me!
