If you have older kids that can manage a long flight then I'd really suggest Bali and there are some great flights with Garuda Indonesia which are a good airline in my opinion, I've flown with them long haul and short haul and never had problems. The flights include luggage and have a short stop en-route but it is still a long flight so I know this will put some people off but if you have kids a little older that don't mind travelling further then Bali is a great destination.
Flights leave on 20/08 but arrive into Bali on 21/08. You'll need to allow for transfers in your price but personally I'd look at taxi or shuttle options as Bali is so reasonably priced you can't go wrong.
I've picked a lovely hotel, and there are so many cheap options in Bali. It's the Koa D'Surfer hotel in Cangguu
The hotel has great reviews, a rooftop pool and is close to the beach. It is also surf themed which I thought was really uniquely designed and ideal for kids that enjoy surfing too.
Bali is really budget friendly for activities and to even hire a driver to explore the island. You'll certainly get more for your money too! *Based this trip on 2 adults and 2 children of 10 years old*

I went to Bali in the 90s...I'd always thought it would be exotic. What I hadn't factored in is that it's essentially Magaluf for the Aussies! I also recall swimming in the sea in Kuta & seeing a full loaded nutty toffee crisp body surfing the waves alongside of me (that memory has haunted me for years). Then there's the terrorist threat.
Good price though.

So lets summarise.....pi55ed Aussies, getting blown up and to top it all, swimming with King Richards........Hmmm, might have to have a think about this.

Let's all calm down a little here. Bali is a stunning place, all you have to do to avoid the **** young Aussie is to avoid down town kuta. Other areas of Kuta, Jambaryn bay, Ubud and Nuba Dua are lovely places.Yes there is a terrorist threat like most places but it's safer than main land Indonesia. You could always stay at a bigger hotel which has security but we felt safe. I would return and i normally avoid places like Egypt and Tunisia. I travelled to lots of exotic places and Bali is in my top 3.Great place and great price heat.

I went around 2-3 years ago and had a completely different experience and did Lombok-Gili Islands-Komodo-Ubud-Sanur and travelled around different places on a moped. It was brilliant and not like that at all!

When I was checking out reviews of the hotel, one traveller uploaded a picture of this sign in the hotel which made me smile.

Been looking at bali for a holiday until i found out about the rabies outbreak on the island. I checked this out on lots of sites, and its been quite bad for a while. Check it out before you book. I have travelled quite a few places, but this just puts me off. Shame as this is a great price, hot hot deal and i have voted hot too. Nice find

If anyone does go, can I encourage you to visit the Odd Cat Cafe and also Villa Kitty. Both can be found on Facebook. Villa Kitty does some great work rescue, sterilising and immunising Bali cats and kittens and they are always wanting holiday makers to come and spend time cuddling the cats and kittens. I've not read anything about rabies but I'm sure if you message them on Facebook they will certainly have knowledge of what's going on there.
