We flew out on 10th October, Garuda, on time. The boss had the usual brekky at the airport as he isnt too keen on plane food. arrived at airport and from getting off plane to outside to taxi rank was only about 15 minutes at the most.
Off to the Jayakarta for one night. OUr friends kids were waiting for us at the lobby of the hotel, bags into rooms and off to the pool.
I have mixed feelings about the jayakarta, Location, grounds etc were fantastic, brekky was good with the usual freshly cooked eggs, bacon, noodles rice, cake thingys etc brekky was very busy.
Unfortunately the hotel on the south side of the hotel (about 10 feet from the 400 block where we were) has been demolished and they are rebuilding from scratch. The banging and building goes from 5am till midnight. Lots of people werent impressed. one couple who moved from the 400 block to the 300 block still were kept awake with the banging, not impressed they werent with their small children being kept awake. Every time you went out on your balcony the builders were calling out wanting coke and cigarettes and didnt give you a minutes peace. We stopped going out there.
The staff said they couldnt do anything about it. it wouldnt have been so bad if they had regulated it from say 8am to 10pm.
If you are going to be in any way annoyed with this, I would give the jayakarta a BIG miss......
More to come on lembongan trip, any questions just ask :)
