for our sons wedding at BGH on the 19th. We have 40 guests and are having the reception there. We have found the people there just fantastic but there are so many places to eat at in that area if you just want to go out for dinner.
We always take cash and change into rupiah as needed. We use the hotels safes in our room and take out cash and exchange $100.00 at a time. That way it is easier to count and work out what money you are supposed to get back ie exchange rate 8200 = 820,000rp, 7950 = 790,500, 8495 = 849,500. I always have a credit card with me as a backup but have never needed to use it. I am always sceptical of using ATMs and cards over there with all the scams around. Have fun
