ALEKSANDR007: A large, modern hotel with excellent grounds. We arrived at 2 PM and were immediately checked into our room. Upon check-in, they offer a welcome drink, which was a very nice touch. All the staff throughout the hotel greet you with a smile. The room has everything you need, including a small balcony. Ours faced the sunny side and had a small drying rack for wet clothes, which dried quickly in the sun. The bed, mattress, and pillows were incredibly comfortable; you sleep like a baby. All the linens were clean, new, and fresh. The soundproofing was excellent. The towels were great, both in the room and those provided by the pool. The beach is about 500 meters away, a 5-minute walk through the hotel grounds and a quiet street between hotels. There are barriers there, so no outsiders can drive through. When you leave the hotel for the beach, they provide a towel and an umbrella if needed. If you don't want to walk, there's a small shuttle, but there's no point waiting for it; everything is very close and easy to find. The beach is public, with a wide shoreline and soft sand. There are tides and waves; during our stay, they were small, but I think it might not be very comfortable with children. The coastline is very long, about 3 km, and extends all the way to Denpasar Airport. There are many cafes and restaurants along the shore, and at the very end is the famous fish market, where you can buy freshly caught fish from fishermen and have it cooked right there. The variety of fish, mussels, lobsters, and oysters is astounding. Everything is incredibly cheap, yet so fresh and delicious. On the hotel grounds, there's a huge pool divided into several zones: for children, for swimming, slides, and so on. There's even an area with beach sand, which is very pleasant and convenient—something you don't often see. Sun loungers are always available at any time, so there's no need to rush in the morning to reserve one. The pool has lovely soft inflatable mattresses that you can float or nap on. The breakfasts are very decent; they have everything you need, including fresh juices. Everything is delicious and fresh, including fish, cheeses, etc. From 4 PM to 5 PM, there's a chocolate hour in the main restaurant, offering various sweets. I highly recommend visiting, with or without children. The hotel grounds were always impeccably clean; there are many workers, all busy doing something and maintaining the area. Jimbaran is, of course, first and foremost about beautiful sunsets, either from the hotel window or, even better, from the beach. It's truly one of the best places in the world where the huge red sun sets directly into the ocean—unforgettable. Housekeeping at the hotel is very good and thorough. On our check-in day, it was our wedding anniversary, and we informed the reception. They surprised us with beautifully decorated fruits and desserts. It was very pleasant, delicious, and very thoughtful!

Guest User: Overall, the hotel is quite beautiful and generally comfortable, but the hygiene conditions were poor. There were many stains on the floor, and a lot of flying insects around the toilet. The paint on the walls was peeling off. Additionally, the wooden wall behind the bed was hollow, and at night we could hear sounds as if someone was hitting the wall. However, the hotel staff stated there was nothing behind the wall, which could potentially be a safety hazard.

From SAR 386
Guest User: The cleanliness of this hotel is absolutely top-notch, truly the best out of all the 5-star hotels I stayed at during my Bali trip. The mini-bar was also incredibly well-stocked with a great variety of drinks and fruits, really impressive. The pool is heated and offers excellent privacy, highly recommend it. There isn't much commercial activity around, which is pretty common in Bali outside of the Ubud area, where commercial districts are generally sparse. However, it's quite close to Kuta and Uluwatu, and getting a taxi is easy. One thing to avoid though is the BBQ at Jimbaran beach – not good! On the other hand, the hotel's oxtail soup is fantastic!
Jl. Karang Mas, Jimbaran, Kec. Kuta Sel
From SAR 532
Guest User: Our stay was excellent, and our butler, Jerikho, provided incredibly thoughtful and attentive service. Knowing we had a late-night flight, he kindly arranged a complimentary late check-out for us, which was a very warm gesture. The villa offered beautiful views and fantastic privacy, making our stay exceptionally comfortable. We look forward to returning!

Want to eat like a local? Don't miss out on these top Bali dishes and foodie spots.
Indonesia in 3 Weeks 🇮🇩 The First-Timer’s Route Through Java, Bali & Flores Indonesia is the kind of destination that makes you realise how much one country can offer. Ancient temples, smoky volcanoes, hidden waterfalls, emerald rice fields, dramatic coastlines, and islands where the water looks almost unreal. And that is before you even meet the famous Komodo dragons. If you are visiting Indonesia for the first time and have around three weeks to explore, this route connects three very different sides of the country: Java for culture and volcanic landscapes, Bali for nature and beach time, and Flores for a proper island adventure. The secret is not trying to see every island in one trip. Indonesia is enormous, and travelling between regions can take longer than expected. Instead, focus on a few memorable places and give yourself enough time to enjoy them. 🇮🇩 DAYS 1 TO 5: JAVA, TEMPLES AND VOLCANOES 🛕 1. Yogyakarta: Begin with Indonesia’s cultural heart Start your journey in Yogyakarta, a city known for Javanese culture, traditional arts, local food, and two extraordinary temple complexes. Borobudur is famous for its enormous stone structure, Buddhist relief panels, and peaceful atmosphere. Prambanan offers a different experience, with towering Hindu temples and intricate stone carvings. Both are worth making time for, especially if you enjoy history and architecture. Beyond the temples, leave some room for the city itself. Explore local markets, try traditional Javanese dishes, browse batik workshops, and spend an evening enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. Practical tip: Borobudur and Prambanan are separate sites, so plan transport rather than assuming you can comfortably walk between them. Check current access rules and ticket arrangements before visiting, particularly if you want to access the upper levels of Borobudur. 🌄 2. Mount Bromo: Sunrise over another world Mount Bromo is one of Java’s most recognisable landscapes. Imagine standing above a vast volcanic sea, watching the sky brighten while mist drifts across the crater and surrounding mountains. Most visitors arrange an early-morning jeep trip to a sunrise viewpoint, followed by a journey across the Sea of Sand and a walk toward the crater area when conditions allow. It can be cold before sunrise, even in tropical Indonesia, so bring a warm jacket, long trousers, and shoes that can handle dusty or uneven ground. A face covering can also be useful when volcanic sand is blowing around. Do not treat sunrise as guaranteed perfection. Clouds and fog sometimes hide the view, but the landscape can still be impressive when the weather changes. 💦 3. Tumpak Sewu Waterfall: A natural amphitheatre If you love dramatic scenery, Tumpak Sewu deserves a place on your Java itinerary. Water spills down a wide, curved cliff into a lush valley, creating the impression of a giant natural curtain surrounded by jungle. The viewpoint above the waterfall is the easier way to appreciate the scale of the landscape. The descent into the valley is much more demanding, involving steep paths, steps, rocks, and sections that can become slippery. Wear proper footwear, take your time, and check local conditions before heading down. After heavy rain, access may be restricted or unsafe. A local guide can be helpful if you plan to explore beyond the main viewpoint. Suggested Java flow: Days 1 to 2: Yogyakarta and its temple complexes. Day 3: Travel toward the Mount Bromo region. Day 4: Bromo sunrise and onward travel, depending on your transport arrangement. Day 5: Tumpak Sewu, with enough flexibility for travel time. This is an ambitious route, so consider adding a day if you prefer a slower pace. The distances on a map can look deceptively short when mountain roads and transfers are involved. 🌾 DAYS 6 TO 15: BALI, FROM GREEN HIGHLANDS TO COASTAL SUNSETS Bali is more than beach clubs and sunset photos. Its interior is filled with rice terraces, temples, waterfalls, traditional villages, and green mountain scenery. For a first visit, splitting your time between different areas makes the island feel much more varied. 🌿 4. Ubud: Rice terraces, temples and local life Ubud is a natural base for exploring Bali’s cultural and greener side. Start with the rice terraces, visit local craft shops, explore temples, or take a walk through the surrounding countryside. The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is another well-known stop. The forest is beautiful, but remember that the monkeys are wild animals. Keep food and loose belongings out of sight, follow staff instructions, and never try to touch or feed them. Ubud is also a good place to slow down. Spend an afternoon in a café overlooking greenery, join a cooking class, or explore a traditional market without trying to squeeze five activities into every hour. Useful tip: Traffic can be heavy, especially around central Ubud. Group nearby sights together instead of planning a packed schedule across the island. 🏞️ 5. Munduk: Waterfalls and cool mountain air For a quieter side of Bali, head north to Munduk. The scenery changes noticeably here, with misty hills, forest trails, plantations, and waterfalls tucked into the landscape. This is a lovely area for travellers who want to spend time outdoors without constantly moving between crowded attractions. You can explore waterfall trails, visit nearby lakes, and enjoy the cooler temperatures. Bring a light rain jacket and shoes with a decent grip. Paths can be muddy, and waterfalls may be affected by rainfall. Check access locally before setting out, and allow extra time if you are travelling between villages. Munduk is also a reminder that Bali rewards travellers who stay overnight outside the busiest southern areas. Early mornings can feel wonderfully peaceful before day-trip traffic arrives. 🌊 6. Bukit Peninsula: Clifftop views and golden-hour skies The Bukit Peninsula in southern Bali is known for its dramatic limestone cliffs, beaches, surf spots, and sunset viewpoints. Uluwatu Temple sits high above the Indian Ocean and is especially memorable in the late afternoon. If you plan to watch the traditional Kecak dance performance, check the schedule and arrive early enough to find your seat. Beach visits can require steep stairways and a fair amount of walking, so bring water and take care on the way down. Ocean conditions change throughout the day, and not every beach is suitable for swimming. Pay attention to signs, surf conditions, and lifeguard advice where available. Keep the schedule flexible. A beach morning, a relaxed lunch, and one sunset location can make a better day than rushing between every famous spot. 🏝️ 7. Nusa Penida: Cliffs, viewpoints and clear blue water Nusa Penida is known for its striking coastal formations, including the famous viewpoint at Kelingking Beach. The scenery is spectacular, with rugged cliffs dropping toward bright turquoise water. Other popular stops include the natural arch and rock formations at Broken Beach, Angel’s Billabong when conditions permit, and viewpoints along the island’s coastline. Here is the important part: the roads can be rough, travel between sights takes time, and some paths are steep. A day trip can cover a few highlights, but staying overnight gives you more flexibility and a chance to experience the island outside the busiest hours. Do not underestimate the cliffs or the sea. Stay behind barriers, avoid unstable edges, and do not enter the water at exposed beaches unless conditions and local guidance make it safe. Suggested Bali flow: Days 6 to 9: Ubud and nearby cultural or nature attractions. Days 10 to 11: Munduk and the northern highlands. Days 12 to 13: Bukit Peninsula and southern beaches. Days 14 to 15: Nusa Penida, including ferry transfers. This arrangement is flexible rather than fixed. You could visit Nusa Penida earlier, but grouping your accommodation by region helps reduce unnecessary backtracking. 🐉 DAYS 16 TO 20: FLORES AND THE KOMODO ISLANDS The final part of the trip brings a different kind of adventure. Fly to Labuan Bajo, the gateway to Komodo National Park, and prepare for rugged islands, striking viewpoints, marine life, and one of the world’s most famous reptiles. 🛥️ 8. Labuan Bajo: Your gateway to island exploration Labuan Bajo is the main starting point for trips into Komodo National Park. It has a harbour, restaurants, accommodation, and tour operators arranging boat journeys around the surrounding islands. Use your first day to settle in, confirm your boat itinerary, check the weather, and make sure you understand what is included in your trip. Boat schedules and routes can change with sea conditions, so avoid planning an important flight immediately after returning from a cruise. If you have extra time, explore the town, enjoy a waterfront meal, or visit a nearby viewpoint before your island adventure begins. 🐉 9. Komodo or Rinca Island: Meet the legendary dragons Komodo dragons are the headline attraction, and seeing them in their natural habitat is a memorable wildlife experience. Visitors usually explore designated routes with authorised park rangers, who help maintain a safe distance and explain the animals’ behaviour. These are powerful wild predators, not oversized lizards that you can approach for a selfie. Follow the ranger’s instructions, never attempt to feed or touch a dragon, and keep a respectful distance from all wildlife. Sightings are not guaranteed, because these are wild animals living in a natural environment. Komodo and Rinca offer different landscapes and visitor experiences. Which island you visit may depend on the boat route, current park arrangements, and conditions on the day. ⛰️ 10. Padar Island: The viewpoint worth the climb Padar Island is famous for its sweeping panorama of rugged hills and curved bays. The trail climbs toward a viewpoint where several coastlines appear to fold around the island. The hike is relatively short compared with a full-day mountain trek, but the steps and exposed terrain can feel challenging in the heat. Wear shoes with good grip, carry water, and avoid rushing on the way up or down. An early start can help you avoid the strongest midday heat. Take your time at the viewpoint, enjoy the landscape, and remember that the best photos are not worth stepping beyond safe areas. 🤿 11. Kanawa Island: A slower moment by the sea After volcanoes, waterfalls, and hiking trails, Kanawa offers a chance to appreciate the marine side of the region. Depending on conditions and access, visitors may enjoy clear water, reef scenery, and snorkelling around the island. Bring reef-conscious sun protection, use only permitted swimming areas, and avoid touching coral or chasing marine animals. Visibility, currents, and marine life vary, so listen to your guide and use appropriate safety equipment. A boat trip through this region can feel like several different holidays in one: dramatic viewpoints, wildlife encounters, quiet beaches, and time on the water. #Indonesia #IndonesiaTravel #Java #Yogyakarta #MountBromo #TumpakSewu #Bali #Ubud #Munduk #NusaPenida #Flores #LabuanBajo #KomodoNationalPark
The place is absolutely amazing! I adore the interior, and the room is spotless and neat, with plenty of amenities provided. The food is absolutely delicious (you must try the Babi Guling pizza here! 🤌). The serene atmosphere and hillside view make it incredibly relaxing. What I loved the most, though, was the staff! They are all so warm, lovely, and truly go above and beyond to meet your needs. Plus, they are hilarious! Special thanks to the loveliest Ibu Sri, Ibu Made, and Pak Agung for creating an incredible dining experience. A huge shoutout to Bli Agus and Mbok Nanda for keeping our room spotless, and to Bli Surya and Mbok Eva for making our check-in process so quick and smooth! Alila Ubud really delivered the best hospitality. If you're considering staying here, you’ll have an amazing experience (unless, of course, you’re not a fan of those mischievous monkeys—but don’t worry, the security team does an excellent job of keeping them in check). 🙈 Matur Suksma to all the staff! I would absolutely love to return for another stay. With love, Jeff 🫶
An iconic photo spot in Bali. The T-Rex-shaped cliff paired with the jelly-blue sea is the exact location of the iPhone wallpaper. [Basic information] Kelingking Beach location: West side of Nusa Penida, where the cliff resembles a dinosaur's spine 🎫 Viewpoint is free. The island charges a small parking fee and an island entry/sanitation fee ⏰ Best time: 7:30–9:00 AM (fewer crowds in the morning, soft light), followed by 4:00–6:00 PM for sunset 🍃 Season: Dry season from April to October has a high chance of sunny days. The rainy season is often cloudy and foggy, which can diminish the view ⛵ Bali main island → Take a speedboat from Sanur Harbor (40-minute trip). We recommend the 7:00 AM early boat (calmer waves, less seasickness). The drive from the harbor to Kelingking Beach is about 40 mins [Photo spots] 1. Main viewpoint (free): Classic panoramic view of the dinosaur's spine, it can get crowded 2. Paid, less-crowded spot on the right (approx. US$1): Avoid the crowds and capture stunning, people-free wallpaper shots 3. Cliffside path: Great for low-angle portraits with a strong sense of depth against the mountains and sea 📸 [Outfit] White or light-colored maxi dresses, straw hat. If you plan to hike, do not wear maxi dresses or flip-flops [Important warnings] 1. The path down to the beach is extremely steep and dangerous, with dirt and gravel. Some sections require using your hands and feet. The round trip takes 1.5–2 hours and is fully exposed to the sun with no shade. Elderly, children, those with a fear of heights, or those with limited physical fitness should only view from the cliff top. Do not go down to the beach 2. There are very strong undercurrents at the beach. Swimming is prohibited. Please just watch the waves from a distance 3. Many areas along the cliff edge have no protective fences. Do not climb over any barriers or get too close to the edge. Safety first 4. There are wild monkeys in the area. Do not hold food or mobile phones in your hands, as they can easily be snatched
Ayodya Palace is truly a comprehensive resort and one I would highly recommend for its private ambiance. The property is grand and picturesque, with the beach just a short stroll away. The service was outstanding throughout my visit. The food was another standout feature; every dish I tried was delectable and turned each meal into something to anticipate eagerly. I also spent ample time exploring the resort and was continually impressed by the intricate details in every corner and space. Those three days were undoubtedly an unforgettable weekend—an exquisite location, exceptional service, delightful food, and countless charming touches to enjoy.

No need to travel all the way to Bali; I've discovered a hidden gem of bamboo houses by the water tucked away in the mountains near Wuhan (He'er Yaochi Wonderland). I was instantly healed by this relaxed vacation vibe. Nestled between mountains and water, with a lake and bamboo gazebos, the atmosphere is absolutely perfect. 🌟 Highly recommending the duplex mountain homestay!

🌴 Visiting Haitang Bay in Sanya, I've seen plenty of luxury hotels, so this time I decided to try a homestay. After checking in, I was genuinely impressed. It’s the Sanya BUYE Homestay, featuring a relaxed Southeast Asian vacation vibe. With pure white architecture, arched doorways, and thatched roofs, it’s stunning. At night, the blue lights at the bottom of the pool slowly turn on, and the entire waterway glows with a clear, lake-blue hue—the atmosphere is absolutely perfect. You can step directly into the pool from your room—it’s a very popular pool-access room type. Sitting on a kayak and swaying gently with the water, with the evening breeze carrying the scent of tropical plants, you don’t even need a filter. A casual photo at night makes you feel like you’re in a hidden vacation courtyard in Bali. 📸 Photo tips | Must-know advice for great shots ✔️ Best angle: Shoot lengthwise along the pool to capture the white arches, thatched roofs, and blue water all in one frame. You’ll get that same cinematic night shot with great depth. ✔️ Golden hour: After dark! Once the blue pool lights are fully on, the contrast between the warm yellow wall lights and the cool blue water creates an atmosphere far better than during the day. Try to avoid the peak photo-taking time right after sunset; wait for the crowds to thin out for a cleaner shot. ✔️ Outfit ideas: Simple solid colors, vacation-style camisoles, or long dresses work well. Light colors look best in photos. You can pair them with a straw bag or hat to match the Southeast Asian style of the thatched roofs. ✔️ A quick reminder: The kayaks are provided by the homestay, so please take care of them and be safe when getting in the water. The pool area is dim at night, so watch your step while taking photos to avoid slipping. 🏨 Honest review of my stay The homestay is located in Haitang Bay, not far from the duty-free shop, making shopping and getting around very convenient. Compared to the beachfront hotels in Haitang Bay, this place offers much better value and is perfect for trips with friends or couples. It’s an enclosed courtyard, so it’s not noisy, and it’s filled with tropical plants. Besides the main pool, there are several leisure areas where you can sit under the wooden corridors to chat or just relax. There are many room types, but I highly recommend the pool-access room—you can step right out into the pool, which adds a real sense of occasion to your vacation. The service is thoughtful without being overly formal, making it comfortable and relaxed. You can spend your days surfing in Houhai or visiting the duty-free mall, then return to the homestay in the evening to enjoy the breeze by the pool. The pace is just right. 📍 Address: Sanya BUYE Homestay (Haitang Bay, Sanya) 🚗 Transportation: Driving or taking a taxi is recommended, as public transport in the Haitang Bay area is limited. It’s not far from the Sanya International Duty-Free Shopping Complex, making it convenient for shopping. 💡 Tips: Popular room types, especially the pool-access rooms, book up quickly, so be sure to book in advance during peak season. The pool has specific hours at night, so remember to check with the front desk after you check in. ✨ A few final thoughts This is not an ad, just my honest personal experience. Sometimes, you don’t have to choose a big-name hotel for a vacation. A quiet courtyard like this, with warm lights, a blue pool, and the tropical evening breeze—quiet, relaxed, and comfortable—this is exactly what I think a comfortable stay in Haitang Bay should be like. 🌿

This was more fun than I expected.We visited in mid-July and the crowd was quite manageable. Most rides had short waiting time, while popular ones like Python took around 20 - 30 minutes.My favourite was the Boomerang. So much fun! Python was another highlight, while Climax was definitely the most extreme one for me 😂There are plenty of food stops and shaded areas, so the afternoon sun wasn’t too bad. Some rides allow phones or action cameras while others don’t. There are shoe racks but at your own risk. And temporary phone racks before the rides too, staff will give you a band to identify your belongings.Overall, a really fun day out!Note: Cashless system in the park. For the 3 of us, recommended to load Rp. 1mil in the wristband for locker, food and drinks. They recommend Rp. 500k but it’s not enough. You can also top up within the park, just ask the staff.
TypicalTouristOrNotNusa Penida is worth visiting because it has some of Bali's most spectacular coastal scenery such as dramatic cliffs, turquoise water, white-sand beaches and famous viewpoints that look almost unreal in photos.
kwanpinUbud là một nơi rất tuyệt vời với những căn nhà truyền thống và văn hoá. Đặc biệt vào buổi tối khi đèn trong các khu phố được bật sáng và mình đi bộ trong khu phố cổ. Người dân nơi đây rất thân thiện. Chắc chắn sẽ quay lại để được sống và trải nghiệm nhiều hơn
AnnaonearthThe temples here are fascinating. Every day, the locals prepare small offerings to place in front of their houses for the gods on the island. You can also visit the monkey forest, which is an experience not to be missed.
AnnaonearthDefinitely the icon of Bali! What an incredible experience!
Skye S 0425This tour was interesting, and we got to see manta rays. The snorkeling was also very good!I received the photos on the same day, and they turned out to be quite good qualityWe were provided with water and a towel, and after snorkeling, we could take a shower and change clothesThe Nusa Penida tour was not bad overall, but due to the road conditions, the car ride was very bumpy and made me quite carsick
OllypopOverall, an iconic Bali cultural performance! The Kecak dance was super energetic and the cliffside sunset view was gorgeous. The only downside is that it is extremely crowded and packed tight with tourists. Still a great experience, also heavy traffic leaving the venue, took us almost 2hr back to seminyak.
Anonymous userDefinitely worth a visit! The interactive experience is fantastic, and the emotional value is immense – adults will find just as much joy as children! My previously withered soul was revitalized! Thank you 🙏🏻 to all the human and animal staff at the park for making this a wonderful day!
Anonymous userAble to see monkeys up close. Aside from the monkeys, there were other animals too.
_TX***ojThe sunset in Uluwantu temple is super super nice. For the kecak dance, I only like the last part when on fire 🔥. Else u sit there for 1 hours just “kecak kecak cak cak”
