We rested in this hotel at the beginning of July 2008. The hotel is excellent! Already now I find more luxurious hotels from photographs on websites. The price is appropriate! It may be less luxurious, but awesome and the landscape is amazing! We look longingly at our photos and do not regret at all that we chose this hotel. I think no one regretted it, I liked absolutely everything and the room was excellent, my friends had a slightly different type, but we did not move to them in the neighborhood, maybe. decided that it was more interesting to visit)))! The balcony overlooked the pool, which no one suspected, except for those who lived with a view of it, and therefore it was possible to swim together and no one interfered! because the pool was at the end in front of the hotel border. By the way, very beautiful! In the morning, squirrels jumped from tree to tree. Friends had a view of the pond, and since the 3rd floor you could see the ocean, a lizard was swimming in the pond, he was afraid of everyone and ran across the bushes imperceptibly (absolutely safe). The room was always clean, fresh towels, fruits upon arrival and a compliment from the hotel - bath salt in a wicker box. They brought things from the laundry in a nice little box of woven leaves, kept it until the end of the trip for souvenirs, Slippers, bathrobes in the room. Somehow I was in a hurry and threw the dressing gown into the closet, I come, and another one has already been brought to me. There are jars of peanuts in the coffee department, so we ate them, and then read that they were for a fee. In the evening we went to the supermarket (everything is cheap there, opposite the hotel) and bought them, put them in their place (the difference in price is big! ) Although 3 days have passed, they didn’t even show us a check! The staff is excellent, everyone is trying! Until you reach the sea, everyone will say hello to you and wish you a nice day! At sea, the sellers are not intrusive, we threw a bag with money and equipment expensive (professional), so moreover, no one touched it, (and we left to go parachuting) an hour later they came, and they guard our things (for free and without asking, just us already knew). After our arrival, they got up and went on to sell their paintings and jewelry! And so we threw things many times! And you are always welcome and smiling! Such relaxation, such a good atmosphere of friendliness! Opposite the hotel, there are shopping shops and restaurants where you can eat cheap seafood from the heart! It’s expensive to eat at the hotel, but outside the territory, choose as much as you want! they did a massage no worse! They all know how to do it! What I liked was that they themselves came by taxi to pick you up and brought you back, and maybe the spa paid for a taxi for you, then the taxi driver takes you even to the shopping center, even to the hotel - as you say! Taxi by taximeter is inexpensive to take! The hotel did not take any excursions, it was expensive and didn’t really tell us anything! Outside the hotel, they took a taxi driver for 4 (were with friends) for the whole day, about 400 rubles came out for our money at the rate. He took us all day. We went to 1) the forest of monkeys, (they paid there themselves) you just need to keep track of how much they take from foreigners, otherwise the Russians almost heated up 30 bucks with us. 1 day). On the volcano, key chains were offered very cheaply for 5 bucks, maybe 10 pieces (for gifts, that’s it! ) I went to the Plaza shopping center, like, in short, 1 boutique center, but there is an ordinary 2-storey one, where I bought good quality pareo for $ 1.5. T-shirts are cheap, notepads are like in Egypt, but for $ 1 (and in Egypt $ 12))) We went to 1) zoo, 2) bird and reptile park. 3) We went to Jimbaran after the tour (they choose the restaurant themselves (they pay them%), but they won’t disappoint us, although it’s more expensive than in Nusa Dua. The tables were set on the sand right in front of the ocean and everyone, like in a cinema, looks at the sunset and eats. We said that everything is busy, so the waiters were in front of everyone, they put two tables in front of the rest, if only we stayed! Everyone tries to speak Russian, learn to sing songs even in Russian. . The head of the bar at the reception adored us so much that they immediately came to serve and brought chips and nuts for free, and when we wanted to feed the fish, the waiter brought crab chips for free so that we could pamper the fish! A couple of times at the expense of the hotel they gave us cocktails (very delicious) We treated the singers, and they sang, whatever we ask. I braided braids for very long hair - $ 20, I bought paintings at a discount on the beach and kites, the guy Jory made a discount because we took a parachute through him (when tied to a boat) Otpad! Rode 2 times. I advise everyone. In the morning the trees are watered and the honey smell of flowers is everywhere. . At the airport, they wore flower wreaths around the neck, so cute! We loved going to listen to the boy band in the restaurant "Pica Tapas Bar" when they sang BEE GEES - IT WAS SUPER! They took a dish there, like a fiesta or something like that, the point is that you pay for the 1st and eat together! It cost 500 rubles for ours, one soup, ice cream, vegetables and bread you take at the bar, and then they give you a green card and waiters walk past you and cut grilled corn into your plate, followed by grilled onions, another carries grilled chicken, the next waiter the meat is fried, the next shrimp. . . and so on, until you overeat and turn the card over at a red light.... you can pay for one, and the other will take from him)) and they drank Sangria, it’s very tasty! People won’t say anything there! In a nearby restaurant, it seems like the Tropicana was called. . I ordered a seafood dish, it was for our 550 rubles, I waited for half an hour, I was already nervous, and then I look at everyone’s eyes widen, I turn around, and they bring me a frying pan about 50 cm in a radius full of seafood! There was no way out and I wanted seafood and I thought it was a little expensive for the 1st course, but it was probably designed for 3 people and the staff thought that I had an excellent appetite))) Mussels, crab, king and tiger prawns, big fish and oysters, all with grilled vegetables, to the dish there is a large plate of french fries and a large plate of vegetable salad - honestly, I lost my appetite from shock (I even have a photo), I ate a little and asked to wrap it with me, to which the waiters quickly responded and packed it in special plastic boxes with high quality! There are a lot of restaurants and everyone is trying to please you by luring customers with music and service! Almost in all restaurants "compliment": free fresh juice, or sandwiches, or alcohol, mini canapes to keep the client busy while they are waiting for the order! The service is high quality and fast, they are always polite and smiling! I ordered rolls from the chef in Japanese, I waited a long time, but when they brought it I realized that it was worth the wait, everything was delicious! club, but I don’t regret it, because I took beautiful photos, but you don’t have to go. Everyone who looked at our photos was dying of envy, everything was great and beautiful, people were intrusive only when they went to the temple - local women attacked with bananas (they are very small cm10 but very sweet in Bali) they gave, and then they demanded money and not small ones! the monkeys had a lot of fun because they sell bags of bananas at the entrance and when you come in, the monkeys run after you! It is not desirable for children to give to little ones, otherwise arrogant monkeys can scare maybe, they take it away a lot! About the zoo is a separate topic, super! I took a picture with a lion cub, it was even difficult to give it away! At the airport I bought magnets in the form of stones on which bali and a flower are carved - very beautiful $ 4 somewhere. Everywhere a local tax is taken from purchases and restaurants, but a friend who paid with a card did not pay% even in a restaurant. We wanted a symbolic ceremony, but on the spot it turned out to be more expensive than they promise on the sites! The European one was too expensive, and there were no clothes, and we decided on the national one, we even ordered it at the hotel, we were promised this........and we took a photo to see from our guide-mat was my choice, my heart was pounding in shock! I am not one of the sick, but you will not dress every husband in a golden carpet and with a golden kakoshnik on his head! And the bride...... ))))) in short, the photo is a separate topic (and I'm a photographer and I know what I'm talking about! ) I was shocked, I immediately called and canceled everything! I'm not answering anyone! Just study the conditions and the program in detail! Be sure to look at the photos !!! ! Very specific and not for everyone! But the European in Niko Bali is beauty! But we didn’t have money and bring your own costumes! We talked with tourists - everyone was delighted with their hotels, who would praise more! Bali is already a guarantee of a great vacation, impressions and colorful memories! I would still go, but I also want to visit other countries. . . I wish you a good rest! I hope my story helped a little! I'm attaching a photo!
