Yeah, I stayed there on my last visit. The room is fine, but if possible, please ask they arrange you facing the pool view. I forgot which block is that,haha...
The receptionists are friendly, they knew I went there alone and always talk to me as well. Some how they already can remember my name, haha.

It is quite a distance if you want to walk from hotel to Legian beach. However, there have lot of pubs and disco within walking distance... haha... suitable for night life

hey guys,

dreamland beach from kuta should be not so far rite? from google map around 20-30km, issit possible for me to rent scooter from kuta and go dreamland beach in uluwatu?

and also, it's public beach rite, i mean, open to anyone wanna relax/mandi rite?

Not a problem getting bike there...But instead of dreamland which might not be realy nais (Although I hv not been there)..but from few review, & google earth view, that beach more like surfer beach too i.e very strong wave..unless you wanted strong wave beach? For calm, remote & crystal clear water, go for those on the East of Iluwatua all the way to Nusa Dua such as Bali Cliff & geger

oh really ar.. i was thinking to go crystal clear, quiet and white sand kinda beach.. icic, thanks for the heads up!

so from kuta, if i wanna rent a scooter to nusa dua, shouldn't be sooo far rite?

And his english is good too!

anyhow...avoid VERONA SPA in ubud at all cost. Its dirty and their service is bad and massaging is not good at all. Go look for Sang Spa, its far way better.

Up to now, i have been to 3 spa's. Sang Spa, Murano in Legian, Verona...Verona is the worst among all 

I called verona for pickup, and they say ok. so they pick me up. after the spa and collect the $$, they say.."oh, we only provide 1 way transfer from hotel in ubud"..WTF    , i have to walk 2km under the 12noon sun  . The masage eveything suppose to last for 2 hours base on the menu, but the whole process was just 1 hour and 20 minutes. To room is dirty and old, especially the shower area. the massage miss alot of area of your body, same goes with the scrub and mask. The towel that you use to wipe ur body after shower is old as well. I am not sure how on earth that some of you guys recommended this place. First time experience you may find this place value for $$ spa, but once u go survey more places. You will know that this is just another overrated spa with lousy service, stingy in mask and scrub, dirty shower area and lousy masseuse

It was way much different from Sang Spa. They pick me up, after spa send me back. the massage was full body(except u know where  ). The scrub and mask they use was way more then Verona. Even when u  go shower to wash off the mask, the masseuse will wash for u.

will update the pictures later.

I have a very good driver, he is very honest and kind, however he dint speak much though.
He drove us with his Suzuki MVP silver color and cost RPH 350000 per full day.
We dropped our tripod in his car and he send it to airport to us without charging us!

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Does he have any email? It will be easier for me to email him my full itinery and get the quote. 

I only have 2 person, is it better to hire driver + car rental for a small suzuki jimny that cost me IDR240K full day exclude petrol & admission fee, or just get driver recommend by LYN for about 350-400K per day inclusive or everything?

i suggest getting a driver, free and easy. No need to figure out the way. (unless if your the adventurous type)If your hiring a driver for few days, try negotiating the price. possible to hack <300k

Hey... hows sang spa?? I booked sang spa oredi end of the year as its top in tripadvisor. ok?

anyone has the latest exchange rate in bali, either RM to Rp or USD to Rp?

is it hardly to get accomodation during CNY?

Got a question - are shoes necessary in Bali?
As in are there any temples or places which require ppl to wear shoes?

If not i think i want to wear sandals everyday...

oh, thanks. I guess i'll try contacting recommended drivers from here to get some good rate.
Any one knows places i can watch the Barong Dance show in Ubud? Or only Batubulan?

nope, u can wear sandals in, barefoot also can

thx but just wondering is it cheaper to change in bali?
