It is interesting to see forumites choices as their top hotels. I am wrapped in Tegal Sari and we go there every September. however up to now we have had our little bit of luxury at the Bali Sani for the first week of our usual month.

However like Larry with the Mandira , the Bali Sani has priced us out. So for this coming trip in September we are staying in small hotels for the whole month. In addition to Tegal Sari, we have booked into the Puri Madawai (kerobokan), Anninirakka (Ubud) and Batubleib Beach bungalows .

I am frankly sick of large hotels and am really looking forward to more personalised service from the smaller ones we are going to.

Thats my 2 cents worth and I will post a Just Back Report when we get back about how good these places are.
