Hi all,

Just like to share info of Price rise at the BGH:

1st i had to book through agent as BGH, on both occasions, said there
was no direct booking's available, so i have gone through same agent
on both occasions.

July 2008...stayed in family room, cost $105aud pn.
July 2009...quoted for family room......$150aud pn.

Two factors in play here, 1) price rise by hotel and 2) Aussie dollar
down some 15% against the US dollar.(as you may well know, nearly all
hotels are priced in US dollars.)

Still, it's a damn big hike eh!

Let's hope they don't shoot themselves in the foot, now that they have got the tourist back to Bali, with price rises.
Tank god i saved a grand on air flights for next year.

S
