Had booked 16 nights at the Melasti, checked out after 9 and paid an extra $1000 to get to the Jayakarta up the road.
Plenty of flies around Bali this yr, and breakfast at the Melasti does not include covered food warmers, so each time we went down to breakfast, all the food was covered in flies!!! So eggs it was, because you could stand and watch them being cooked then eat them straight away before any flies got to them.
We had a superior room, which included a balcony, but the balconys are not private, so the people in the next room are vitually sitting next to you when out on the balcony, we don't smoke, and found it very annoying getting smoked out by the puffers on both sides everytime we went outside. Seems to be a habit of the regulars of this place to shout to each other from their balconys at all hours of the day!!! So, if like me, you like to sit on your balcony in the evening and have a drink and relax before you head out for dinner, forget it!!!!!
Been to Bali quite a few times now, and mostly go there to relax, found that impossible at this hotel.
