We had booked Pondok Sari but the muck around in trying to pay a deposit is too much. Pondok Sari have requested a deposit (in Euros) to be deposited into a German bank account in varying percentages until the entire payment is made 2 weeks prior to arrival! At about $22 foreign bank fee and currency conversion on each deposit......my god. I have asked if I can just phone and give them my credit card details but have had no reply.
So - it's all too much - looking elsewhere to stay. Expedia have good prices for both Taman Sari and Amertha. Which is best.
