Lots of posts in the archives about hotels & credit card problems.
It's a good idea for this sort of thing to have a special credit card with a low limit (I think $500 is the minimum) or use one of those cards that you can buy from a bank for a set amount (sorry, forget what they're called). There is no way I'd give details of any of my credit cards over the net to any place in Bali (or elsewhere for that matter) - sure, people have done it without probs before. But other people have had probs.
If you do decide to give your card details over the net be sure to call your bank & tell them what you have authorised.
