with my personal opinion- here goes- we as a family-2 adults and 3 kids have stayed at mbr 3 times in 6 years-we always stayed in cottage suite, which are so roomy with partitioned section in front which gives a bit of privacy. Always loved the mbr-great location, lovely staff, personal touch, very 'balinese' atmosphere with music, etc.
Last visit, 2 years ago, suites still fine, but i found the pool area really 'old' and uninviting. In setember we decided to try k.p with 2 ajoining rooms. I know heaps of people LOVE the k.p. we missed the 'atmosphere' of mbr. The pools are certainly beautiful, great breakky,etc and if you spend a lot of time at the pool, kp would be my choice, but if you are out and about, beach,etc i would prefer mbr-
Everyone is different, but mbr for the more 'personal, friendly atmosphere' also, saving $700!!!! In may i am off with 3 girlfriends and trying puri raja......good luck deciding, and sorry mickey!
