Hi, I am a newbie in terms of travelling and I'm learning how to plan for a family trip. I joined tour in the past but this time want to have something different.
Hmm, I did read out the posts here but there are not much info about choosing accomodations? I then contacted one of the drivers recommended here and he responded in few minutes in our first email so then I gave him my itinerary and asked him about his opinion on accomodation but at the end receive no news dy...
Hope anyone here can assist me out =)
My family and I going there this coming November 6D5N and we have only booked air flight tickets. For places to visit, I have done some study and already compiled my own itinerary. There are some questions:
1. Do I need book drivers first, or I can just pick up any drivers waiting outside hotel?
2. Do I need to select a few hotels if we are visiting north and south (i.e kuta and lovina) as it can be more convenient for travelling?
3. Are there any considerations when picking a hotel, besides price, service provided etc?
Thx =D
1. Yes you need book a driver first. b'cause, if you choose the driver waiting outside the hotel, they will put a high price and you will not be able to negotiate the price.
2.if you choose the tour to Lovina on the first day, you can book hotel in Lovina first. then depart to Lovina in the afternoon. or you can depart to Lovina at 2 am from the airport, and will arrive in Lovina at 5am. so you sleep in the car during the journey. (if you want to save on hotel costs)
3. consider also its location. If you want a place away from the crowds, better to choose hotels / villas in ubud. if you want a place that is close to the night clubs, kuta beach, better choose a place in the Kuta area. that's all
need info? just mail me
