Stay
in Tanjungpinang
Some
of the TOP Hotels in Bali
Bali's
most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre
sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation,
shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but
most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast
Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north
coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural
centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized
overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged
every night of the week and the streets are full of
arts-and-crafts galleries.

Tg. Pinang is a busy transit town with passengers arriving
and departing all the time from Pekanbaru, Jakarta,
Singapore, Medan, Palembang, most seeking out the cheap
rooms. The cheapest is to stay with families; it's easy
to meet people who'll take you in. The police discourage
this since they are only able to extract Rp500 for their
'police report' if you stay in a legitimate hotel. Be
careful of which house you stay in (beware of Kampung
Jawa), there's been numerous thefts of foreigners' gear.
Frank might meet you at the pier when the boats come
in; he'll fix you up with a safe place. Frank is very
knowledgeable about the Riau area and speaks fluent
English. About the best and most central Hotel is Peng.
Sampurna, JI. Josuf Kahar, cheapest rooms at Rp1100-
but remember the Rp500 for the police report. Losmen
Sondang, JI. Josuf Kahar, asks Rp1500 for a double room
or for 3 in a room, Rp2400; clean, safe, well-run. Also
Hotel Surya, JI. Bintan, Rp550. Most expensive is Wisma
Daerah Guesthouse, JI. Diponegoro, at Rp4200 with a
fan. Tanjung Pinang Hotel, overlooking the town, offers
good economy class rooms for Rp2700; to get your bearings,
there's a large relief map of the Riau upstairs.
