In Reply to: Melasti Beach or Rama Garden in June posted by garlar on Monday, 6. February 2012 at 08:35 Bali Time:
My parents stayed at the Rama Garden January. A couple of days before they left, the hotel began demolishing the rooms opposite their room. The noise was terrible, and being such a small hotel, there was really no-where to escape - it made it very unpleasant to swim, or sit outside their room. They had booked this a year ago, and at no stage were they advised that this was going to happen during their stay. Apart from this, they have stayed at this hotel many times, and love it. Being elderly, it is very convenient for them to be so close to so many restaurants and shops.
We stayed at the Melasti in a Suite, and although the bathrooms are old, we really enjoy the huge rooms, and being surrounded by the beautiful gardens (and I have never seen a rat in or near my room!)
We are happy with the breakfast, just sitting out the front of the restaurant watching the waves, and the people walking by, more than makes up for any shortcomings. Yes, there were alot of flies there this year, I have never noticed them before.
We had a big group of family and friends staying there, we all went to the New Year Dinner (as it was included in our booking), and we enjoyed the meal. Maybe we are easily pleased!
