In Reply to: Totally agree about Kuta Lombok..... posted by Deb M on Tuesday, 16. August 2011 at 13:14 Bali Time:
Most of the land on or near the beach around the Novotel was sold many years ago, however much is tied up in the courts with disputes over payments and ownership. Plenty of land is sold multiple times, fraudulently...
Even with hundreds of millions of USD committed and signed agreements with the Indonesian president to facilitate sorting it all out hasn't seen a great deal of progress. Emaar pulled out, and now the Lombok Development Corp are seeking other developers.
