Thought I would put part of my 20 cents worth in for those that may be interested...
Accomodation
Our family and 2 other families went, 13 people in total, all stayed at the Kumala Pantai. Great place, we were in the new 'S' Block which is one of the blocks that fronts onto the new pool, we were on the 3rd level so noise from the pool area late at night wasn't that much of a drama. Room was clean, spacious, own safe (in cupboard), bathroom had bath (with overhead shower) as well as a separate shower and toilet.
$$$
What can I say, you get the going rate, it ranged from 7100 - 7400 at the PT changers or Kodak shops - we stuck to these places, changed money when we needed to. We took Aus $$$, was going to take $100 notes only but would have been stuck if I didn't need to change a full 100 on the last day so took the majority in 100's and some smaller stuff.
Visa Card
Kept this for major things like Waterbom Park but we did have some dramas with our Visa Card not working - not able to be 'read' - at Matahari's for example. The card was less than a month old and we hadn't had any problems Aus end prior to travelling.
Have more comments, Part 2 otw shortly...
