My husband and I stayed at this hotel in May. We flew from St. Petersburg via Moscow by Transaero. Those who flew with them will understand - save yourself. Arrived, straightened limbs and on foot! to the airport building - such a funny big glass hut under the roof. They handed over some cards that they filled out on board and stood in line for registration - 40 = 50 minutes exactly, since more Japanese arrived. As soon as they found their travel agent, everything immediately started spinning - they led them to the exit, they hung garlands of flowers around their necks - by the way, they smell great! - in hands - a bottle of cold water and put in a Suzuki jeep on leather seats with air conditioning! In general, life is good! We arrived at the reception immediately received the keys and settled. The room was on the first floor, with a window and a terrace overlooking the park (we took an improved layout, i. e. more space, and in addition to the shower, there is also a bathroom and a little better furniture). We were a little upset that there was no view of the ocean, but the park is also luxurious, and in the evening, when we came to our senses after the flight and drank coffee on the terrace, the first guest came - a handsome varanchik about half a meter long. He stood, did not wait for anything from us and went on. In the morning we surveyed the territory - excellent, a sea of greenery, luxurious tropical flowers and plants, in the center of the hotel there is a charming mini lake with stone slides, where monitor lizards, colorful herons, koi carps of huge sizes are heated (they are all fed with bread after breakfast). Breakfasts are normal, everything is there, cool local fruits, a variety of cheeses, sausages, omelettes are fried in front of you and on order, in general, I liked everything. There are two restaurants, we went to them in turn, and our friend - a big fan of food - managed to use two for one breakfast.
The beach - no complaints - the sunbeds are comfortable, the towels are large, they tried to sunbathe all the same on the grass under the trees, the sun is still! By the way, ladies who are at the equator for the first time - I highly recommend getting a local beach dress made of gauze with embroidery upon arrival - you can swim in it, it costs about $ 10, and you won’t burn out. The ocean - well, he is the ocean, he doesn’t ask us, how to behave, there were both strong waves and silence. By the way, when the tide is out, in Ayodia it is the least noticeable, you can swim. We walked around the island and saw low tides in other hotels = the water went half a kilometer. This is a huge plus for the hotel. So, when the tide starts, if you go a little to the right from the center of the beach, go into the water about waist-deep, your feet rest against the stones - the current is like that, just a real massage of the back and tummy.
There are algae in the water, they are collected by locals, it seems to be for a spa, but I don’t know for sure. You can see the fish with a mask if you swim away. Traders do not reach, they are forbidden to approach tourists on the lawn, only if you yourself want to talk, then they are right there. All are numbered, willing to communicate, smiling and tactful.
Well, the first evening has come - or rather, it does not come - it falls - once and it's dark. And now the hotel in all its glory - magnificent lights, torches, a stunning fountain complex in front of the hotel - a sort of local Peterhof (who understands what I mean). In general, we grab a camera and capture ourselves from all possible angles. There is definitely no better territory than in Ayiodia anywhere in Nusa Dua, and we ran everywhere there. Here I note for party lovers - in Ayodiya, and in general in Nusa Dua there is no noisy entertainment. There is no animation either during the day or in the evening = in general, entertain yourself. In the evening we had dinner in the local village, the food is normal, there are European and local and Chinese dishes, the menu is in Russian. All restaurants are basically the same. After dinner, they offer a free ride to the hotel, but we walked around, did not use it.
Excursions. It must be said here that on the second day we complained to our guide = we didn’t complain, but simply noticed that in the evening there was a slight smell of cars on the terrace of the room - it turned out that there was a small parking lot for staff behind the garden. On the same day, in the evening, we were moved to a room on the third floor overlooking the pool. So, in gratitude, we decided to book him a tour of the island, although according to the tourists who had already lived there, it is much cheaper to take a car with a driver. We paid 120 dollars and did not regret a minute - firstly, we were alone, in a good jeep and with a Russian-speaking guide, and secondly, tickets were included in the price - it’s worth going to the bird park, enjoy it - they will give you a bowl for a couple of dollars feed and all parrots, toucans and other charms are yours! You can take as many pictures as you want (see photo).
Then we examined one of the temples - you don't need more than one, they are all similar and equally beautiful! Amazing stone carving! Then we went to the center of the island, looked at the volcano, although it is not particularly visible - clouds - we had lunch there (included in the price). I have never eaten such a black rice dessert anywhere!
Then = an abandoned temple with monkey families. By the way, monkeys are bastards!! ! White Italian trousers could be thrown away, advice - do not buy bananas for them - they will not only take away, but also smear you from head to toe. But looking at them is very interesting (see photo). Further on the tour - check-in to the village of wood carvers - well, of course, we bought a couple of cool figurines - advice - bargain !! ! Then she asked me to stop and see how the locals thresh rice - they immediately included me in the process - I also threshed it, and they were so funny and happy and smiled - we probably also had fun for them. Further - the jungle - where mangoes grow, coffee (the famous luwak), this cat, by the way, was also seen, she was sleeping. We bought various spices, amazing tea, we still drink on weekends, coffee, rice wine (in general, rubbish). Then a couple more interesting villages and, as an apotheosis, a jewelry store - well, how could it be without it. So, when we counted everything that was included in the price, talked with our people on the beach, it turned out that the actual service of the guide for the whole day was worth
we are about 20 dollars - I think a little for a detailed story about the country, its manners and customs, in normal Russian and for the opportunity to ask any questions and get answers. In general, everyone chooses for himself... In addition, we also went to the temple of the goddess Uluwatu - the famous kechak dance is danced there. The spectacle is so-so, but the sunset in the ocean = it's something!! ! By the way, there are monkeys - thieves - take care of glasses, hats, etc.
Apart from these trips - plant life on the beach. In the hotel = the room is excellent, the cleaning is normal (I really didn’t climb the corners with a check, and I didn’t need to change the linen every day, you might think that those who write about this change bed linen daily at home). And in general, we came to relax, and not to look for flaws! Almost every day some presents from the hotel = shirts, and even guessed the size, then plates of fruit, then a free dinner in a la carte and romantic cocktails in the evenings . Our channel was on TV - but we didn’t turn it on - we spent all the time walking and on the beach. True, it was a little annoying that after nine in the evening it was impossible to go to the pool, BUT VERY WANTED TO SWIMMING FOR THE NIGHT. And I also want to note - the internal layout of the hotel = it's something! Well, you'll see for yourself. I wish everyone a great holiday, I highly recommend the hotel, and the island of Bali is just a paradise, the only pity is that it takes almost thirteen hours to fly to paradise.
