PRIVATE POOL AT ASMARA SUITE AT AMANDARI HOTEL IN UBUD ON BALI, 2003-08-13 (photo)

The Asmara Suite at the elegant Amandari Hotel in Ubud features a private pool, views of nearby rice terraces and a price tag of $1500 per night, August 13, 2003. With room rates from $625 to $3100 US per night, the Amandari's occupancy rate in August 2003 was approximately 40 percent, down from 70 percent during the same period in 2002. Last year's deadly bombing attacks dealt a body blow to a tourist industry that provides a livelihood for 70 percent of the 3 million people living on this island, with tourist arrivals off almost 40 percent from last year.
