Hi Gals.

When my FH and I went bali, the did the bookings via internet. It seems, it is cheaper than your walk-in rates.

Our trip was for 5 days 4 nights.

3 nights stayed at Kuta. Budget Hotel USD 25 pernight

1 night stayed at Nusa Dua, USD 75 per night. I only have pictures of the this hotel. If you wanna see. PM me...:)

cuttiepiggie,

I wanted to stay in Kuta, made all the enquiries but later decided to stay in Ubud. I like a few hotels in Kuta, namely Balisani Padma which cost USD 25-35 per night and also Drupadi STudio, around that price also. The prices are for bookings thru the Internet.

However, if you want to book, you can look at the hotel pics from indo.com but don't book thru them as they are not efficient. I sent them a couple of mails but they did not reply.

Book under passionasia.com For my stay in Ubud, same hotel but they are cheaper and more reliable. Fast replies too.

In Ubud, I'm staying in Puri Garden II.

athena,

Thanks for the pic. YUp, very nice. How much did they charge?

Which hotel did you stay in Kuta & Nusa Dua?

I also booked my accomodation thru the Net, much much cheaper than walk in. Walk-ins are about 50-70% more expensive than Net.

Hi Melissa,

We stayed in a hotel called Restu Bali on Legian Street. Not facing the Kuta beach. One street away only though. Outside the hotel are those shops you can go for massages, makan, and also shopping. Sort of like Swiss Garden in Petaling Street. Convenient but not superb!

as for nusa dua, it is called Bali Tropics. This place felt like heaven after 3 days in Kuta!

you must try the white-water rafting there. It was one of my best memories of Bali!

[cutiepiggie 0]

athena

[athena 0]

Restu Bali is USD25 pernight

BaliTropics USD 75

[athena 0]

ubud and kuta is about 1.5 hours drive

[cutiepiggie 0]

alamak so far from kuta , how to stay there hehe <_<

[Melissa 0]

athena,

Thanks!

cuttiepiggie,

Yeah, Ubud is far from Kuta. I wanted to stay in Kuta as its very near the airport. I don't like to touch down and then wait long long then only reach the hotel. But my bf said Kuta is a very noisy area and he wanted somewhere quieter, so chose Ubud instead.

Kuta & Legian is within walking distance.

[athena 0]

But you won't regret la going to Bali...

a view of the bazaar in ubud!

cutiepiggie,

u can stay a few days in Kuta and then another few days in Ubud. The scenery and atmosphere in both places are different. Kuta - more crowded, beach area. Ubud - quieter and more of country side scenery with padi fields. Also in Ubud there's a lot of art stuff and home deco things.

When i was in Bali, we stayed in Sanur, Seminyak and then went to Mt. Batur for one night. All three places quite different.
