Hi,
We stayed at the Jayakarta in October, in the private apartments, but overall did not like the hotel at all. There's little shade around the pool (especially if you have kids and want the shallow pool), many yobos at the main pool bar. Staff nothing special. In short we would not return. Location is great, but that's all.
I have never stayed at BGH but have spoken to many that have that were satisfied with it. Have eaten there before and the food, service and price is great.
I have to tell you that this is only our opinion, because we spoke to many there that just loved the Jayakarta and return year after year. We have also stayed at the Hard Rock and Kumala Pantai, both of which were brilliant. I guess it depends what you are looking for.
Good luck.
