We are spending new years on Lombok and the hotel has advised us of a compulsory news year function for us and the kids who are aged 8 and 10. We could live with it but now find out the cost is $150US per person including the kids. More then we are paying per night for a room. Its wasted on us so we wan't to try and avoid it if we can, has anyone had any luck getting out of these sorts of things, if so what did you do?
