In Reply to: Hotel Suggestions posted by LJF on Thursday, 2. October 2008 at 11:16 Bali Time:
We have stayed at the Padma many, many times it is a lovely hotel but it is not cheap, in fact it is expensive by Bali standards. It does have a huge swim up bar but the drinks and snacks are pricey. I would recomend the Puri Raja or Kumala Pantai both are smaller properties and more pocket friendly and have swim up bars. However depending on when they want to travel you must book well in advance as Bali is trully "back on the boil" & many of the popular hotels are booked out months in advanced. Hope this helps Cheers ebonnie
