Do you have a breaky package in your hotel deal, if so, wow what a fab breaky, if you eat breaky outside say hello to the pet monitor lizard that turns up at breaky very friendly ask the boys cooking the eggs and pancakes for a raw egg and hand feed it (its only about 2 metres long but it is very friendly) you could spend all day working through breaky and forget about lunch, you will have no problems finding evening meals, previous posters have cover most of the better ones, Queen Tandoor turn left as you hit Jn seminyak/ Jn legian about 50 m. Try to get to Rumours one night for a meal 2-5 mins in taxi. The kodak shop half way down the street the sofitel is on is safe as a money changer very good. The Q bar is interesting for all the wrong reasons in the same street, the street is quite quiet during the day but comes to life at night time. Do you know where the bali deli is from the hotel, if not post and I will give directions, the bali deli does very nice long lunch's, afternoon snacks drinks cocktails mini cakes etc out side in one of there bales. The first thing we did at the Sofitel was to up garde to a villa 104 one of the ones on the beach front ask the staff if its empty for a look around we did this via out club points best move we ever made, normal rooms are fine but if you have a problem with your room jump up and down in the lobby they dont like that and seems to sort problems out very quickly. If you require any more info either post back or send me a quick email I have left my email address open. Nice cocktails next door at the anantara hotel just in front of the Sofitel go up to the top floor there is a secret cocktail lounge operating up there, great drinks, pool service at Sofitel is good at the main pool but a little slow at the smaller quiter garden pool, tip the waiter well on you first order this usually fix's this
