Please be advised that paradise-bali.com posts all room rates based on double occupancy and NETT. NETT rates include 21% Gov't Tax & Service Charge. The price you see is per room per night and the price you pay - Period. We do this to make it easier for you to compare prices right from the start. Be alert to lower prices that do not include this mandatory 21%, require a minimum number of nights or a rate for single occupancy as a lead-in. Be advised that quoted rates sometimes change without notice.

By the way, judging by number of competitors that copy information from our paradise-bali.com - we must be the authority on hotels in Bali - no other site is copied so much. That said, be advised that all content (copywriting, images, graphics etc.) on paradise-bali.com is original and created by paradise-bali.com. Photos on paradise-bali.com were taken during site visits - yes we do visit every hotel. So if you see any information that is the same as paradise-bali.com on another website (and you will), we'd like you to remember that it has been by copied illegally by unscrupulous companies.

With October half over and the first anniversary of the tragic events of 12 October now past we see quite a bit of renewed interest in Bali. So much so that hotels are now beginning to raise rates. Remember, the end of November marks Idul Fitri and hotels will be full. As such it's not to early to start planning for Christmas and New Years - by acting early you'll have the best choice at the best rates. That said, keep in mind that some airlines cut back service to Asia - so don't forget to coordinate your transport and secure your airline tickets early.

One item still in the news is the on-again, off-again (and now on-again?) changes to the free visa upon arrival. Whilst cost and date have yet to be set, be aware that changes may be implemented on 01 December (latest rumours are now for 01 July 2004 - hopefully). For more info, click here.
