The rate is USD260 per night for the 3-bedroom villa during peak period. I don't know whether it's good but from the pictures that tourist had taken, it was quite OK. They say Jimbaran is quiet and has nothing there but that's precisely why we want to go there . It is also near the beach.
Will be able to let you know more when I get back.

Did you got it thru internet? or how.. is it really true that the internet rates are much more cheaper than the walk in rate?

I'm gonna be going there for 6d 5n..already have a hotel booked. But planned to go around and mayb stay one nite in Villas like pat mase.. they sure do look nice.. specially the one's with private pools n all.

Yes I booked thru the Internet. My col did tell me it's cheaper to book thru the net but if you go walk around and book then perhaps you can find a resort that suits your taste? I don't like the hassle of going around asking for price and it's peak so I choose to book online.

I'm also going for 6D/5N and book two nights at Pat-Mase cos it's more costly. Then Ubud would be nearer to all the places that I want to visit. I plan to visit the south bali when I'm in Jimbaran and cover the north and central when I'm in Ubud. For me I think max is two resorts during the trip else would be more hassle to keep changing resorts.

I only know that Aug and Dec are peak months. Mayb Jan and Feb are not as it's rainy those months.

Am planning a trip next year. I will try to read through the thread... sigh 57pages!!!!

Heads up! When is a good time to visit Bali? On places of interests I think I have an idea but I think to make the trip worthwhile 4D3N stay, I hope to max out the days there with nice stuff.. .

Don't worry..he is good... (haha a bit hard sale .. really he is helpful.. he is the one who arranged my itinenary for 5 days )


If you need his help to arrange for the stays... you might need to sms him earlier..

Added on July 29, 2008, 5:27 pmDifficult to say if u dun give us the breakdown..RM1500 might be on the VERY high side but that also depend...If u book on 25/12/08 and if Reliance gave you Nikko Hotel or even Four season...Then RM1500 is more than worthwhile...But if RM1500 = Sept bla-bla, Cheap hotel Paradiso or etc...That's VERY Expensive.. Normally full board is inclusive of Spa massage + atleast a 4-5stars hotel.no longer 3 stars or lower...pls chk

I only spent appx. RM1200 per pax for 5 days 4 nites ...included car and driver renting.. plus a dinner a Jimbaran.
I was staying at Bamboo house (Legion) , budget hotel at Ubud and 2 nites at Kuta..in front of Discovery Mall.. My flight from KL to Bali cost me RM879. So RM1200 - RM 879 = RM321

Please take note : Above calculation is based on 6 paxs sharing

Yours one is in tight budget is it?
Because my friend suggest me to bring along RM1.8k
we paid for flight ticket already, at rm450 like tat
btw, we will be staying in hotel tat cost rm180 perroom for 4 nights
Did you buy lots things from Bali??
Oh ya, we will be in there 6 person too

Like dat it's pretty expensive-loh sumore a 3stars rated & no SPA..FYI, 3Star rated hotel can be as bad as 2 star in M'sia..for eg..Balisani Padma..rated 3stars & yes very authentic Bali hotel..but room full of cockroaches. Hv to ask for sheltox Anyway probably u are getting at peak period thus, normal full board pricing of ~RM900 selling at RM1500

going for 6ppl is a good idea..cos sharing is caring..hehe

Any difference go during peak period (July- Aug) and non-peak period in Bali?
There will be event and more surfer or what?
