the figure projected is 4% and seriously bali was way too crowded last year. Most hotels were very overbooked so a drop won't hurt too much. As per previous post...wages have gone up, as has benefits in the bigger hotels. I agree that some places have gotten very greedy...but I think its more the rest/bars, hotels have to stay competitive. Went to Zappaz the other night....satay which was around 25.000 is now 65.000! The menu has been revamped and they give you a placemat but really 40.000 price hike is ridiculous!! Made's Warung the same...their prices are through the roof. These types of places are very definitely guilty of price gouging...I for one have voted with my feet!
