I should stay out of it or I will get myself into trouble!! But I have warned them the difference between the two hotels. I have stayed at Padma myself a few years ago and checked out the Jayakarta as I had a friend staying there at same time. Just want them to know that their are cheaper places around, and they don't have to spend a fortune. They are not wealthy or used to spending a fortune on accommodeation - they were recommended the Padma and after checking it out thought it looked beautiful. But as they have never been to Bali before, I just wanted them to look at other "family" options!!
