Our Ubud Hotel, Alam Shanti; Saraswati

And by god its humid - at least in Feb/march it is - absolutely unbelievable - steamroom material - my spectacles fogged up getting out of taxis - you start sweating within 15 seconds - 5 minutes later you are dripping wet - and thats just walking - if you do anything strenous like carrying a suitcase for 2 minutes - you are fully wet - you need imediate shower.

God its horrible!

@mallamoozoo it's like you go to alaska and complaining that it is cold. some ppl r just to dumb.

[PandaBaby51]

[brookchelmo]

@PandaBaby51 No but it was only September, not too many then. The beds did have mosquito netting.

The only downside to this room is that the bath took forever to fill... we gave up and the shower is now mounted to the window thanks to me somehow breaking it. If you hate geckos get a downstairs room. Keiko was afraid of them but they are cute and harmless.

We spent about 8 days there, 4 in Sanur, and 4 in Ubud. That was perfect for us. We rented a jeep although we did not need it so much.  Denpasar and the area is cheaper than Ubud so get all your souvenirs there... make sure you haggle as well. Stay at Alam Shanti. If you are afraid of Geckos and don't like their sounds stay on the bottom floor, if you don't mind then take the top since you will get more room up there.
