Отличный отдых в чудо-стране! Great vacation in wonderland!

We rested in Bali for 2 weeks from March 13 to March 28.2009, two girlfriends. The Inna Putri Bali Hotel Cottages & Spa is very beautiful, made in the national Balinese style and has a heart-shaped territory. (birds sing in the tropical garden, frogs croak in ponds, fish swim, squirrels run along the balconies of rooms, many religious statues of architecture) It is famous for its gorgeous beach, which is one of the few where the tides are not so pronounced, there are practically no waves and the beach itself is clean with white sand, sunbeds under the crown of trees and there are individual mushrooms. We traveled the entire coast of the beaches of Bali and concluded: If you want to enjoy the clean ocean and the nature of the resort, choose the Nusa Dua area. Jimbaran is more modest, not so populated, you will be bored. Kuta is mud, big waves, and what is a paradise for surfers, there is not even a place on the beach. Seminyak - not impressed, many locals. The pool is open 24/7 (one for children and one for adults). There is a poolside bar where they prepare wonderful cocktails from tropical fruits, and there is also a cafe on the beach where you can always have a bite to eat. There is always live music in the lobby bar of the hotel, the staff is very polite, responsive and helpful, they love Russians very much and almost everyone can speak Russian. Near the hotel, a 5-minute walk, there is a large shopping center Bali Collection, where you can buy everything from souvenirs, clothes, which are then exported to Singapore, where they are packed and sent to Europe, ending with food, a lot of restaurants and cafes for every budget with Russian menu, there is also a museum of the history of Bali nearby. Breakfast at the hotel is poor, but quite acceptable to fill up. Fresh fruits, bacon, scrambled eggs, yogurt, salads, pastries, juices, cereals and soups. The hotel has an evening bar until 1 am, where you can enjoy wonderful live music, perform any repertoire in any language. Overall, the hotel is great, but in need of a refurbishment.
If you want nightlife, then they are all concentrated in Kuta (actually on the coast of Seminyak) the most popular. We advise you to visit "Deja Vu" (great place, good service, the audience is mostly Europeans, modern music (DJ plays), few Russians know this place), "66" - entrance is paid, open from 12 at night! In Kuta itself, a good place is Hard Rock Café (noisy, but the audience is decent, you can always get to know each other and continue the evening. In order to get into the club, just buy a cocktail at the entrance, the place is air-conditioned), Bounty (not recommended) - has three floors, a lot drunken surfers, local Zhigalos and priestesses of love, dirt around, admission is free. PEOPLE!! ! If you are young, beautiful, be sure to take evening dresses with you. In the morning you are on the beach, in the afternoon you are on an excursion, in the evening you are hanging out in Kuta, they will come in handy for you !! ! Do not believe that you will not need anything other than shorts and a T-shirt. Although many dressed that way.
We advise you to take excursions not from agencies, but to rent a local driver for the whole day and you can safely travel the whole island with him, showing you the places you want to visit, they can even make a program for you.

If you go to the Uluwatu monkey temple, take off your valuables, they are very aggressive there, and love fresh fruits and nuts. Elephant riding $70 for 15 minutes - a little expensive compared to Thailand. Drivers stand outside the hotel and offer services themselves. Price per day - from 30 to 40 dollars. We advise you not to go to the Kintamani volcano, it is very tiring, and you will not see the volcano itself close. The orchid park did not impress, even in our Botanical Garden it is better and more picturesque. The zoo is screwed up.
Be sure to visit the temple of Tanah Lot and Tanah Aayun. Be sure to watch the popular Balinese dances - Legong and Kecak (the Inna Putri Bali hotel hosts such shows together with dinner, musicians also sing) I was impressed by the bird and reptile park, where you can take pictures for a nominal fee with an iguana, elephant turtle, cockatoo, macaw, python.
About restaurants: a very large output of dishes, almost every restaurant provides a free service (transfer from the hotel to the restaurant and back) You just need to go to the reception and say: Please could you order taxi free for us, and give the restaurant business card, and the staff will contact restaurant and they will come for you. Balinese cuisine is very tasty and varied. Don't like spicy food - ask for non-peppered when ordering a grill, specify strongly - medium or very fried.
Buy only locally produced sunscreens with a protection factor of 50!!! . We first tried the local 50 (we sunbathed in direct sun for a week, everything was ok, then we changed to 6 - they were like baked apples). They also offer massages on the beach - 10 bucks per hour (unsanitary conditions and dirty towels. ) We advise you to use the services at the hotel, there are many SPA programs. Attention! Manik. and faggot. They don’t know how to do it (they simply trim their toenails and hands, and then massage the limbs).
The flight is difficult - from Moscow by direct flight the flight is 12 hours, but this island is worth it. The island is clean, traffic is 40-60 km per hour. Feel free to drop the prices of everything by 2-3 times, the Balinese themselves like to bargain.

Holidays are mainly for newlyweds, couples in love, families with children, people tired of life, pensioners, surfers from Australia, many Chinese, Japanese, Germans and French come on promotional tours, many Russians (from Moscow and far, near abroad). 70 % of vacationers go to bed at 22:00. At 7 in the morning, there is a movement in the restaurant for breakfast like “whoever gets up first, that and slippers. ” During the day it is very hot, so many people prefer daytime sleep.
But if you are sociable, self-confident, attractive, you will always find a company for yourself. And remember, 90% of the rest depends on you. The holiday was a success, we will go again with pleasure.
Men, especially for you: take more money, dinner in a restaurant with a lady with a bottle of wine will cost you $80-100.
Attention, upon arrival in Bali, you can carry no more than 1 liter of alcohol on hand! When leaving, luggage must not exceed 20 kg. For each kilogram of overweight - $ 22, and I want to buy and take away a lot : -)
