In Reply to: Puri Raja V Pelangi posted by Shazzie on Monday, 2. February 2009 at 05:29 Bali Time:
Have stayed at both hotels and will be staying at Puiri Raja again in April because the Pelangi will still be closed as they are doing renovations to pool and restaurant area.
Puri Raja is definately closer to shops and restaurants. It has 2 pools. one with swim up bar. Rooms at Puri Raja are more modern than Pelangi. 2 English TV channels I think.
I love the Pelangi because of the staff .. we have become very close over the years. It has one pool and it also has a swim up bar. I will be very interested to see restaurant changes when it reopens as there was a lot of wasted space. No lounges in gardens overlooking the pool but as we love to look at the ocean it isnt an issue for us. Lounges at Pelangi overlook the ocean and they have large umbrellas for shade. Several English TV channels. A good walk to shops.
If you require any specific information, I have left email open.
