off to bali in december, just remembered that ive not booked accom yet @_@. Anyone had experiences in going wif family? 5 of us are going, preferbly we can bunk into one room. Saw so far, all hotels have a room for 2 most of the time... if anyone could help it would be deeply apreaciated

u can book 2 rooms, get economic rooms shld be ok, i mean budget. I booked online Yulia Beach Resorts at Kuta, during off peak was US$27 per night including b/fast for 2. I think they dun ask u how many in a room but u 3 of u have to squish in a bed lo.

december is a peak season right??

I have mentioned in my traveling blog Holidays in Bali, Dec to March is overcast most days with rain, although Dec is school holidays in Malaysia but Bali is not a peak season for tourist due to its weather.

Just wondering if 1 night in Ubud is enough to settle things there. Will be there for 4 nights, will it be better to split 2 nights in Kuta, 2nights in Ubud, 3:1 or just stay in Kuta for the whole 4 nights. Will it make any difference?

i think is enough 1 night in ubud. i think ur idea to split 3:1 is good. or u can stay in kuta for 4 and make the journey there on one of the days. i think 4 in kuta is better la personally

Wow place looks good! I booked the room with aircon but I think all rooms have aircon now. Can't wait to go and check that place out. Thank you for the photo

Yup agreed, can never go wrong with their recommendations

We could not booked Green Fields nor Tegal Sari.
ended up at Jati 3 Bungalows in Ubud, monkey forest rd.

IDR250,000 for a double room.

IDR300,000 for a triple room.

hi, i will go bali trip for 4D3N in coming Feb... havent book any hotel yet.. need you guys help to recommend.. any nice but not so expensive hotel, budget below rm200/night... preferable kuta area...

actually my flight from KL to bali is night time, reach bali around 9pm like that... so dunno if worth to stay in good hotel for 1st night??

arrr!~!

Greendfield and Tegal sari all booked during my period. Where lah im going to stay in ubuddddd

If you want, Tegal Sari is also managing another villa called Rumah Semesta, which is attached to Tegal Sari.

The rooms quoted to me when I made enquiries:


Villa Sesapi downstairs - with 1 king size bed, private pool, cable TV, fridge, free internet access, kitchen and dining area, it is a compound with garden and without rice field view with a rate of US$ 200+ 10% tax per night excluding breakfast.

Villa Sesapi upstairs - with 2 single beds (without private pool, kitchen & dining area), cable TV, minibar, free internet access, with rice field view with a rate of US$ 100 + 10% tax per night excluding breakfast.

Villa Sarang Bambu - the room downstairs with 1 king size bed, private pool, cable TV, fridge, free internet access, kitchen, dining area and outdoor bathroom, it is a compound with garden and partial rice field view from the pool with a rate of US$ 150+ 10% tax per night excluding breakfast.

If you have enough people guess you could get the pool villa. They sent me pictures too and it's gorgeous!!

Cas, would love to but the price is expensive LOL. Cant afford!

Motormouth,

How do you find Jati3? Pictures always look nice but once you actually stay in it , it could be different story altogether

Wow..Tegal Sari so famous. Thats why they rate so high on tripadvisor I guess

Wei u din report back your trip to Bali meh? your stay at Ritz carton how?

4 night at Nikko and 3 nights at Ritz Carlton (Budget habis). I need to gali back my album when go back home. Overall trip was great but I like Thai more . Suitable for ages 30++

wowiii Nikko & Ritz together....u budget habis me dunno when can get the budget...haha

Actually I kinda regret to splurge that much in Bali. better to spend elsewhere which have "wow " factor. At Ritz, they replenish juice 30min when at pool, so when dinner time, I no mood already to eat. Too full with orange juice. Phuket the next.

erm, NOT as amazing as it looks, thats for sure.
hehehe .... though it was quiet and rather secluded. a small alley leads to the hotel, from Monkey Forest Road.

cleanliness ok, comfort also fine, for it's rather cooling at night.

we were promised 4 air-cond rooms (2 double 2 triple), but in the end they ranout of triple rooms.
hence we got a family suite, with 2 queen beds (one king i think), for the same price,
but without the air-cond.

of course i will backlink to your blog & mentioned u r the photographer

hm.. dude, your blog is awesome. Amongst the blogs of people who went to bali that I've seen, your's take first prize dude. Great pics. Great views. Especially never seen tanah lot with that much seaweed on the rocks. Wonder what camera were you using?
