This camera is the only live webcam we know of on Bali, and the site has shown dramatic improvement over the last year. A very nice QuickTime virtual tour has been now been linked to the main cam page. This allows you to look around 360 degrees at the pool area, bar, hot tub, gardens and one of the bungalows. The cam itself is only on a few hours a day, and sends a periodic snapshot rather than a stream. But, the image is of good quality.
Poppies is a legend, and a lovely place to stay.
Surrounded by a high wall, and peaceful gardens, Poppies is an oasis of quiet and calm amidst the hustle and bustle of Kuta. The last time we stayed in one of their bungalows was in 1996. A expat British guy named Mark Austin, who has two reservation services, runs this site. He is sincere about helping both his own customers, and those who book with other sites. Forum exchanges are typically fresh and friendly.
