Stayed at Wana Villas & Beach Resort - Bali, Indonesia.
|
Bali is an interesting and culturally diverse place to visit. We took a trip recommended by the hotel for the afternoon and saw Kecak dance, artisan exhibitions and had an excellent meal. The only drawback was the constant sales people at each location we visited.
The hotel location is pleasant and remote, so allow extra time to reach the major towns. Free shuttle service was very good.

Stayed at Ibis Arcadia Hotel - Jakarta, Indonesia.
|
Jakarta is a good place for shopping and to make arrangements to travel to other parts of the country, not a place where you want to spend more than one or two days.

Stayed at Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta - Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
|
It's a little out of town but we were met at the station by hotel staff, and it's on the way to Borobudor. Our tour guide picked us up at the hotel. Try the Tirta Kencana, Jalan Ring Road Selatan Janti, for an Indonesian buffet at a good price.

Stayed at Bali Holiday Resort - Bali, Indonesia.

The problem with Bali, is that you get continuously harrassed (politely) by all the merchants,peddlers who want to sell you something. So learn these words: NO, THANK YOU because you will be using them a lot. You cannot walk 5 meters without being offered something to buy.
The place I enjoyed the most was Jimbaran Bay, for the quiet and relaxing beach and for the excellent seafood served in the many restaurants located right there on the beach. You must have dinner there (at sunset) it is magical.
A placed I liked particularly for the panoramas are PURI THANAT LOT and PURI ULUWATU. The view of the volcano and the lake at KILIMANTAN is impressive.
Nothing is expensive in Bali. Great dinner and drink for about Rp 37000. I used taxis (very cheap) to get around all those places.
Woodcrafting is incredible and I wish I could have brought back a lot more things with me (I could hardly close my suitcase).

Stayed at Resor Seminyak - The Resort and Spa - Bali, Indonesia.
|
Bali is fantastic. This was our second trip to Bali. I suggest staying in Seminyak as opposed to Kuta. This area is much nicer and quieter. Hotel has free shuttle to Kuta if needed. My favorite tour in Bali is to Tanah Lot and to Lake Bratan. Both these areas are very beautiful.

During my stay,I could enjoy day-tours which the hotel recommended.It is a good position for getting around Bali.Only thing I am disappointed at was that the hotel was a bit far from the main beach of Sanur.
