Hi mba, yes accommodation rates can vary quite significantly with different travel agents. Also rates change due to the fluctation of the dollar. I have searched most of the agents online for accommodation and sometimes it can differ by over $100 per week for the same sort of room. Last year I booked Kuta Lagoon Resort through Hoteltravel.com and checking the rates daily found it was US$845 for the week on one day, then the next it was US$895 and when I booked got it for US$777 this was for a pool access room. This year I have booked Puri Raja through Travelonline for $1202 for 10 nights but it is cheaper through Qantas $1147. Oh well not a huge difference. Just have to do my homework a bit better.
