Хорошо отдохнули We had great rest

Rested with his wife and brother from 3 to 17 January. Hotel Inna Putri Bali. The hotel is of course a little old, it feels like there was no repair for a long time, but the territory is quite large, beautiful, all in greenery, friendly staff. We got a good number, no complaints, but our friends from St. Petersburg had to change, because. the air conditioner barely worked and the plumbing is very old. Breakfast is so-so, but we were not hungry (fried eggs, toast, bacon, pastries, salads, jams, fruits, tea, coffee). Yes, and at breakfast we were 8 times out of 14 days. Usually we ate in the evening, and there was enough until lunch the next day, but we had breakfast before the excursions. The people rest are different, 75% are Russians, 10% are Chinese, the rest are mixed (Italians, French, Germans (where without them)). Holidays i. e. Christmas and the Old New Year were celebrated in Kuta, in different clubs. We had a blast, especially the Bounty, we lit it up with the Australians, we even danced at the bar, in short it was fun. Then in the morning they improved their health in the ocean. Swimming, after the party, I’ll tell you guys it’s great, better than beer, but if the ocean + beer, it’s generally full of ottyag. We had lunch and dinner either in Bali Collection, to the right of the hotel, or in the village of Bualu, to the left of the hotel along the road to the barrier with security. In Bali Collection, I liked the Japanese restaurant, the menu is varied, the restaurant is cool inside, the food is delicious, and they also give discounts, unless of course it’s good to insist. In general, prices in Bali Collection are quite high, and restaurants do not include 21% tax in their prices, so we were unpleasantly surprised by this. In Bualu, in all restaurants, the price is already indicated with all percentages, at least in those restaurants where we were. And we were in May-May, Kakadu, Laguna, Tropical. We usually ate at Kakadu. It is located on the other side of the road than all the others, and somewhere further away by 30-50 meters. Their food is delicious, varied, the prices are not high, the service is on the level. There is Russian cuisine. Very cool borscht, not in all Moscow restaurants, you will be served this. I really liked Baby Guling (only not a la carte), but a completely suckling pig. Ordered for the day. With our St. Petersburg friends, they grinded for both cheeks. I didn’t like it in Laguna, there were a lot of complaints about food, and in general, when my wife saw a rat there near the stage, she said that she didn’t go there again, by the way, on the beach, many tourists did not speak very much about this institution. I also liked Mai-Mai, more expensive than in Kakadu, but the food is also delicious. We went to Kuta to the Bubble Gum restaurant (it is located near the water park). Everything in it is stylized as a Forest Gump film, and this film is played non-stop in the restaurant). There are the most delicious ribs, as well as assorted shrimp.
Take tours from locals. Near Kakadu there is a local travel agency. Various excursions, price list in Russian, with a detailed and very high-quality description of excursions, prices are reasonable, the staff speaks Russian quite well. If you take a tour there, the discount for dinner in Kakadu is 20%. We went to the hot springs (quite far, but worth it), two pools with thermal water, one hot, the other less. And a cool pool. First you sit in a hot (acceptable) pool, and then you jump into a cool one. Just a thrill. And by the way, the effect of rejuvenation (recipe from gobunka horse) on the face, mine was delighted. We were in Uluwatu, the forest of monkeys. I won’t tell you a lot of truthful information on the Internet, I’ll say one thing, it’s worth a trip.
We also went diving (I found a site in Moscow in advance). The owner is Russian, the instructor we got the same Russian. Everything is set to a good level, the equipment is new, the diving program is interesting. The price for Oren Water 2 dives is $125. It was possible to take diving from the locals on the beach, but I did not dare, although the Russian guys said that everything was at a good level.

In general, we liked Bali: very beautiful nature, interesting and original culture, friendly and smiling (although not too strange) people, full of energy. Everything is conducive to returning here again.
Good luck,
Egor.
