Stayed in Jayakarta apts for 9n. Usually stay in Tuban and really liked the change down to here, choice of restaurants etc.. As stated, there is NO pool service or anyone manning the pool bar at Jayakarta. People were bringing their own drinks down instead. Definitely not the 'life' around the pool like the Dynasty and no happy hours (there is at their ? Sunset Bar on beachfront but not at pool itself). That said, we HATED the Dynasty 'pool life'! Maybe because it was the couple of days over Xmas but it was sooooo crowded, toooo many kids (even for the Dynasty) and loud ACDC music blaring. But if that is what you prefer, lots of life at the pool and that makes your holiday/hotel I think you would definitely prefer the Dynasty. All Aussies at the Dynasty whilst the Jayakarta had a much bigger spread of different nationalities. Will definitely consider staying there again!
Good luck with your decision! : )
