Lumbung Bali Cottages (7) These newly built themed cottages are located just up the road from Puri Paradise Plaza Suites (6) Most families have probably heard of the Paradise Plaza Suites in Sanur.

village called Munduk. Coming from a warm climate, I wanted to spend a few
nights in a place where a long sleeve shirt and extra blanket feel good.
This is a true hiking paradise. I wish we would have had more time for
exploring the pristine area and abundant waterfalls of Munduk. What hiking
we did do only wet my appetite for more. The rooms were just fine for a
mountain resort. If you need perfect luxury and shopping, you may want to
stay down south. If you're not too prissy and want the most incredible
views down to the ocean, with sunset included, Muduk is the place to go.
When booking make sure you specify that you want a cottage with a view down
to the ocean. It will be worth your time. A note for families: You will
be let down if you allow them to put you in their official family room. The
house is fine but it is stuck on the other side of the property next to the
road and offers no view. The number of this room is #16. Ask them to give
you #14. It has two bedrooms and three beds. It also has two bathrooms.
The view from the balcony is breathtaking.
landscaping. The restaurant was really nice. Since it was cool in Munduk,
we really enjoyed the soups. A nice touch was a man playing the gamelan, in
a jacket, while we had one of our evening meals.
They got a great deal on the villa, which sits on the best location on the
mountain. If you have a bigger budget than ours, you might want to wheel
and deal on the villa. This hotel can also be found in an internet search.
Lumbung, in Munduk. I first saw them while hiking with the children. The
wonderful architecture and landscaping caught my eye and caused me to drop
in for a look around. While we did not stay here, I would give it a stay if
I ever went back. They have several double cottages and three family rooms.
They get an A for landscaping and their fish ponds. Every cottage has a
different Balinese style. It might be best to just drop in here, look at
all the rooms and pick the one that suits you the best. The biggest
downfall of this place is that it has a terrible marketing plan. They
currently have no website or email address. They rely on word of mouth or
customers passing by, which can't be many. They had no one staying there on
the day I looked over the place. I took pictures, promised to mention them,
and highly recommended they get a website and email address. PH #

all my research, they appeared to be a tried and true family favorite in
Sanur. The two bedroom family suite was huge. Glad I did not go with the
three room suite. The suite comes with two bathrooms, a large family room,
and a small kitchen. The kids enjoyed the pool and play area but they were
on the line of being to big for the kid's club area. Small kids would be a
perfect fit for this place. My kids were more the age for the big water
rides at Waterbom Park. This would be a great place if you planned on
spending a lot of time just hanging around the hotel and enjoying the
facilities with small kids. This hotel gets only a 6 rating due to its
non-Bali prices for food. As a hotel that touts its family friendliness,
its food prices were higher than this family was willing to pay. We ate out
or got McDonalds delivery. You can find this hotel in an internet search.

Gumps. If all you are concerned about is budget, location, and a big TV,
this is a good choice. If you are looking for nice rooms, quiet nights, and
a clean pool, you may want to pass on this one. We only picked this hotel
because we wanted a cheap place next to Waterbom Park, knowing we'd spend
the day at the park and not the hotel. It served its purpose for one night
and one night only. You can find this hotel in an internet search.
Note: We did not use an travel agents for any of these hotels. We had
direct and personal contact with each of the hotels I have mentioned. Every
one of them worked with us on rates. You won't find any hotel in our review
that did not allow negotiations on rates and services, because we didn't
stay with them.
