Hi All,
I have been to Bali around 4-5 times and have stayed at a few different places (ie Melasti, Bakungs Beach Cottages, Tegal Sari, White Rose, Bali Ayu, Puri Bamboo, Bakung Sari, Febris, Blue Moon Villas, Matahari Cottages etc...) so I wanted to stay somewhere a bit different.
As I'm a teacher, I'd prefer to stay at a place that won't be crawling with kids during mid January. I'm not too fussed where in Bali it is but there has to be activities and shopping nearby (so Jimbaran Bay and Seminyak are a bit out of the question, Ubud is a possibility).
I'm planning on staying for 10 nights at one place but can be a little picky with where I stay. (So it needs to have AC, reasonable bed, pref a TV with some cable channels (unless it's a place like the Tegal Sari with a good view), plus a reasonable/large sized room.
As I've learnt through experience, it's normally better to go directly through the hotel if possible to get a better price. I'm hoping to spend around $40-50 AUD a night with the hope that 10 straight days might bring down the price.
Any reccomendations would be fantastic as I don't want to be stuck at the Bakung Sari again.....
Best Regards,
Mathew
