Well, although the Sun is shining in Sydney, I still have the jeans and cardigan on!!! Not hot enough yet for the sarong. Myself, husband and 2 girls 9 and 11 spent 2 weeks in Legian staying at the Melasti beach resort, which is where we normally stay each year. This hotel was packed to the rafters, with lots of families and plenty of kids.
For the first time in 5 years, I struggled one day to actually get a pool lounge as they were all taken!!! not happy Jan!! but all in all we enjoyed our stay there very much. They now have a babysitting and nanny service within the hotel which was a new addition since we were there last year. The pools were crystal clear each day and the staff are just as wonderful as I remember.
Security was more visible this year with a guard on both the front and beach entrance, asking if we were hotel guests and our room numbers when entering the premises. All cars were checked and car boots were inspected.
More to come on our 2 night trip to Nusa lembongan, shopping and eating out later.
cheers
kathy
