Our trip to Bali
At the end of January, we flew to Bali to The Westin Resort Nusa Dua Bali 5 * (or simply Westin) - I left a review about it on the hotel website. Here I want to write that we were tourists "Lanta Tour". And when the people went to find out their fate, the hotel staff said that there were no complaints against tourists, and they would resolve all issues with the travel agency. Worthy! I also want to mention Aeroflot: on the way back we talked with the steward, who noticed that Aeroflot in any case takes out tourists, and then deals with the travel agency. I respect!
Well, now about the rest. I liked it very much in Bali. Perhaps from the fact that after reading the reviews on the Internet, they imagined where we were flying. So I'll try not to repeat myself.
Sim-card - tourists recommend buying simpati companies here and then replenishing the account, and not buying cards, because it turns out 1.5 times more expensive.
Currency exchange - if it is not possible to exchange at a bank, you can do this in small exchangers by choosing a rate. We changed in this one, located on the left, if you go outside the northern gate of Nusa Dua. The worst exchange rate was at the airport.
Meals: breakfast - at the hotel, lunch - fruit and tea (coffee) in the room, dinner - at the Bali Collection. We visited three cafes in this tourist area and eventually settled on one. We do not recommend "Aroma" - they brought stale seafood and, although they changed it, but we did not step foot here. The transfer neighbors were dissatisfied with Churaskeria, we did not go, because the murderous smell of burnt meat beat off all appetite. I liked the "Prado" and "Kekeluargaan" - if you enter through the central gate, then immediately to the left. But we stopped at "Kekeluargaan" - they specialize in seafood: they tried everything. Dinner cost $25-60 with beer and freshly squeezed juice. I especially liked the lobster soup (if you take a lobster as a bonus, they have lobster head soup).
Excursions: worth a trip to the bird garden and the volcano, two couples did not recommend a trip to Java. We drove with a Russian-speaking guide in his air-conditioned car from 8 am to 8 pm for $50. Very satisfied. It was recommended by tourists who also recommended it. My name is Ivayan, tel. +6281-805-373-324. Just decide where you want.
Massage - we tried in "Inco-Bali", and stayed there. I liked it more than Thai, without oils, $ 35 for 2 hours, if 2 people. and more, they send a car to the hotel and take it back for free, before and after the massage, you can choose from water, tea, coffee. Tel. +62-361-722-431.
Shopping - forget it! You can buy only T-shirts, shorts, sundresses, slates, and even then in Bali Collection, in other places - terrible quality.
Souvenirs - bakik not impressed, only coffee: sumatra and toraya, it's worth buying spices, especially saffron - a very good price. I recommend bringing a picture of wood. It is better to buy in Mark's galleries (the price here should be reduced by 2 times). Get great pleasure from visiting it even if you do not buy anything. Although, without a purchase, it is impossible to leave here. Packed well - the suitcase with the picture was handed over to luggage - there were no problems.
Tel. 62-361-941-047, transfer to the gallery and back - free of charge. Very beautiful silverware, only here you can buy yellow (golden) pearls. It is expensive, because out of 100 pearls only 1-2 are yellow. The cheapest jewelry store is CV. Sinar Mutiara Bali Pearl Galleria, tel. 0361-462-061.
Have a nice holiday!
