the changes we saw this trip on legian beach in July were NOT good. we stay on the beach in front of legian beach hotel at Ketuts Bar, big Ketut & little Ketut. it appears Coca Cola have taken over all the local bar stalls & now make the bar "owners " pay for everything through Coke, they tell me they are now just working for Coke, not allowed to put up their own signs & must stay with the stupid skinny little fridge that Coke have installed at every bar. then there is the begging children in packs,that now frequent the sand demanding you buy their leather bracelets,not seen them here before on beach, was told they were moved down from Kuta end. they go around pestering people & picking up items off beds, this is very concerning, no longer do i feel safe leaving items on my sun bed when swimming etc. a damm shame
