Stayed at Ibis Rajawali Surabaya Hotel - Surabaya, Indonesia.
|
Travelled mainly by taxi - very economical - but ensure that the meter is running to avoid arguments over fare when arriving at destination.

Stayed at Novotel Coralia Benoa Bali - Bali, Indonesia.
|
We were travelling with a small child & had to cater for her needs. Therefore we choose to see the birdpark which was surprisingly fantastic. To explore the beautiful countryside of the inner Bali island we recommend to stay there (Ubud) for a few nights rather than taking a full day trip from the beach.
The restaurants along Benoa Beach seem to be good, we enjoyed the seafood & Balinese food at El Mare near Novotel.
Fresh seafood at Jimbaran Bay is very romantic, because served right at the beach in simple style, but the preparation is rather simple, too.
It's easy to get around in a taxi or limo, especially if you plan to go to very specific destinations. The price is agreed up-front & the driver waits while you have dinner or visit the sights etc.
We strongly recommend to refrain from so-called "Sunset Dinner Cruises" - they are a complete rip-off & a waste of time.

Stayed at Mercure Rekso - Jakarta, Indonesia.
|
Did not like a tour of the city. It was expensive and I could have done it on my own using taxis as transportation.

Stayed at Intan Lombok Village - Lombok, Indonesia.
|
Mount Rinjani climb was good fun. The north East of the Island the roads are very steep and very scary on a motor bike.
Best meal I had was at the Intan Lombok Village ( I tried several nearby restaraunts which were cheaper but not nearly as good).

Stayed at Bali Hilton International - Bali, Indonesia.
|
Nusa Dua is an ideal location if you want just more than a hotel. It has a large shopping area which is serviced by buses from all the major hotels in the area. As well as having a wide range of shops it also has many restaurants if you wish to sample eating outside the hotel environment.

Stayed at Bale, The - Bali, Indonesia.
|
Since the hotel is in Nusa Dua it luckily is
away from all the hectic loud tourism and badgering of some of the other tourist centres like Kuta or Legian.
The hotel offers excellent tours at reasonable prices which allows you to explore the island.
Relatively close by is the Ulu Watu temple at the most Southern tip of the island which has some magnificent beaches nearby.
Ubud, the cultural centre of the island is about a 50min drive from the hotel. This part of the island is much more tropical during the dry season than the southern part of the island. It is a very beautiful and mystical place (old temples) and should not be missed!
