I've been invited to speak at a conference on a small project I did last year.. so I went there 2 days earlier just to explore Bali my way..

Reached Ngurah Rai airport around afternoon, and took a taxi for 70,000 rupiah, around RM21 (http://www.xe.com) to the hotel that I booked using www.booking.com. I choose a hotel near to the hotel of my conference which will be my next place to stay..
I chose Kuta Lagoon Resort and Pool Villa at Legian Street.. at first, I was given a room at 2nd level and quite far with no window.. I can't stand being in a place without a window.. so I asked for a change .. at least at level 1 and near the pool.. the pool was superb.. I don't mind paying extra to get a room that attached to a pool.. but they told me that the room were full.. but the managed to give me a room at 1st floor nearer to the exit.. that's fine with me..
My review about the hotel:
1. Nice hotel for its price.. friendly staff.. decent breakfast.. as a muslim, you will have eggs, fruits, bread .. that's enough for me :)
2. Location: 10 mins to the Kuta Beach (walking) .. lots of shops around for your shopping.. but quite far from the main shopping area (i think) .. if you want to go to HRC, it will take about 30 mins walking, or you can take a taxi that may cost less than 30,000 IDR - but defnitely 50,000 IDR at night.
3. if you have extra money, book for the one attached with the pool.. you won't regret ..
