My daughter and I have been vacationing in Bali since 20.07. 200.2 weeks, at the Melia Benoa hotel "4" stars (Nusa Dua). I chose the hotel carefully and was not mistaken! Spacious room, bathroom with a large bath (which even has a telephone). Around greenery, flowers, everything is very well-groomed. The room was cleaned every day, they tried to fulfill all the desires of Russian tourists. Breakfast buffet excellent. We did not take dinner, but it was possible to pay for it right on the spot.
Perm-Moscow-Singapore-Denpasar.


It's great there, of course! Excellent climate, the breeze blows all the time, but on the beach you need to sunbathe very carefully, it’s easy to burn out, it’s better not to lie without cream at all, even after a week. The ocean is warm, but deep only behind the buoys and you can’t swim far. Many ran into sea urchins, which is very unpleasant. If it doesn’t storm, the water is clean, clear and always warm, as I like, and I don’t want to get out of the water. But for o. Bali is characterized by ebb and flow and it is very annoying.
At 2 pm, if you come to the beach, you can hardly see the water…. Imagine, in the morning you were swimming and after 2-3 hours the water seemed to have evaporated, only earth and algae. This is impressive, but very disappointing. And it’s hard to get there, we traveled to Moscow by train, it took 10 hours to fly from Moscow to Singapore. Then an hour break and another 3 hours to Bali Airport - Denpasar. The country is interesting, with its own customs. We lived in the Nusa Dua area. The local people are very calm, friendly, they do not deceive tourists and try to serve in everything (although we were frightened by completely different information). By and large, they live off tourists, the country is poor, so everything is not very expensive there, both clothes and food. You can bargain and 2 times knock down prices. We took excursions and hired a driver for the whole day for $30 - $40, which is very convenient considering that we divided it into 2 families.
We went rafting, buggy (by car), wild monkey park, elephant safari, Tanah Lot temple, art village - Ubud, of course, the water park, often went to Kuta, this is a neighboring area, in the city of Denpasar. In general, it was not necessary to be bored, for dinner every evening we went somewhere, again, entertainment. Well, SPA procedures, massage, as an integral part of the rest, which is very developed in Bali. Two weeks flew by quickly, we flew back only by planes to Perm, in the hope that someday we would come to Bali again.
I recommend this hotel to everyone! Ira.
