Hotel ratings by criteria:
To begin with, my fiancé and I originally wanted to go to Intercontinental, they started booking 2.5 months in advance, but alas, they said that the hotel was on the STOP! They offered a higher level hotel Ritz Carlton (it was more expensive at that time about 1300-1500 dollars). They thought for a long time and finally agreed. And here is the long-awaited September 23.2008. We flew with SINGAPOREAN airlines (PEOPLE, if possible, fly with these airlines, and not with TRANSAERO. They just say horror).
Flight schedule: Moscow-Dubai (5.5 hours flight) - 40 minutes technical stop-then Dubai-Singapore (6.5 hours) - 2.5 hours waiting for a flight to Bali and then 2 hours to fly to Bali. We were very lucky, the entire flight on the plane was 1/3 busy, everyone took three seats for themselves and therefore the flight was not at all tiring. The service on the plane is of course good, drinks, alcohol in unlimited quantities and everything is free. Everyone has their own TV with video channels, radio, computer games, music. Each is given individual headphones, a blanket, a pillow, socks and... they feed - they feed - they feed! We flew in and immediately we were met by smiling Balinese, they hung flowers around their necks. It takes 15-20 minutes to get to the hotel. The hotel is on the edge of a cliff. Size - 77 hectares. Huge landscaped area. Our room was standard (50 sq. m). The room was very spacious, the view from the window is very beautiful (flowers on the lawn, the ocean). Room cleaning 2 times a day. As for the prices in the hotel: the prices bite. very))) for example beer Corona costs about 10 dollars and now you drink only beer on the beach, the bill is already 40-50 dollars... so take more money so that you don’t limit yourself in anything. For example, by the pool to eat a sandwich, pizza, a couple of juices - 60-80 dollars. Not far from the hotel there is a place Jimbaran and there are a lot of fish restaurants. All living things, you point your finger and they cook it for you - lobsters, crabs, shrimp, fish. The average bill is 50-60 dollars (without alcohol) + a bottle of wine 10-15 dollars. Of course, there are more expensive restaurants, they somehow paid for the same 130 dollars)) There is another high-class restaurant, located in Kuta, called KUDETA. there is also like an ordinary restaurant, and near the beach there are beds instead of chairs, you lie with your loved one... you drink a cocktail and look at the ocean . . beautiful... in a word, romantic!
as for the beach at the hotel: they have two of them. The first one directly at the hotel is a tiny patch, next to it there is a swimming pool with sea water, but there is nothing to do there. The second beach is to the left of the hotel. you come to the reception and say: to cuba beach, the hotel car drives up within 30 seconds and takes you away, drive for 2-3 minutes (this is all the territory of the hotel). The stairs to the beach are incredibly steep. You need to go down 195 steps (I thought). It’s easy to go down, but to go up..... it’s better not to remember... well, nothing for 2 minutes and you come to your senses (it’s useful for the figure). They say in a month they will build an elevator there. The ocean is very clean, although the waves are far from small, at first it's scary, and then you get used to it. We had no ebb and flow at all. At least I didn't notice it at all.

There are a lot of vacationers in the hotel, but you come to the beach as if we were always there together. You come to the main pool - there are also few people. It is not clear where everyone has gone.
The territory of the hotel is very beautiful, everything is in colorful beautiful flowers... I liked it very much.
As for excursions:
1. went rafting. around one greenery and waterfalls. very beautiful for the first 15-20 minutes, then you get tired of boredom. For a change, you can go.
2. forest of monkeys - went feeding macaques. really liked it. Just do not wear glasses otherwise you will say goodbye to them once and for all and hold your bag tight.
3. park of birds and reptiles. I liked the bird park very much, beautiful colorful birds, but the reptiles are terrible, it was already disgusting.
4. elephant safari and zoo. Well... so-so, you can also for a change.
Who loves history, there are many different temples or o. Java. we never got there.
Well, that's all.
