Short Trip to Bali - Hotel -Massage -Clubbing
hi all. after spending two nights in bali, here are my findings.
hotels:
during my short trip, i've stayed at two different hotels:
green garden spa and resort (note that there is another hotel called green garden hotel. not a resort. it might be confusing to taxi drivers as well. so always say the full name). it was ok. i've booked via agoda for $55 including taxes and breakfast. rooms are fine, clean, basic ameneties are available. swimming pool is nice. for what i paid, i think it is a good place overall. has a renowned spa as i have heared (didn't try it thought)
oasis hotel: similar rate, but closer to the action (about 300 meters to many clubs including hard rock). rooms are fine. not as clean as the first hotel, toilet a bit small and dark. same goes for the shower area (separate!). i booked directly from hotel. i asked a travel agent before hand and then found out the rate is similar. so i saved myself the trouble of driving to the airport to get a voucher from the hotel agent. i wouldn't recommend this hotel as much as the first one albeit the garden is about 2 km to the main nightlife area. (a bit dodgy massage place in there).
massage, i tried the infamous kura bugar. it goes like this. you come up to the counter, and they guide you to the room where all the girls are sitting (i arrived around 2pm and there were about 12 girls available) once you select your lady, you pay up front. i was asked to pay 250k. but settled for 200k. during the massage and the usual touching, the girl ask you for tips to do the extra. i asked for sex. she said no. can't do it here. didn't insists as i was not really interested. just wanted to try (grin). i settled for a bj for a 150k extra. it was nice overall as the girl was a bit enthusiastic and took off all her clothes. by the way, it was a private room with shower facility. cleaner than i expected i must say. (not saying it is really clean. pay attention.) but acceptable for that kind of business. and the money involved.
spent the first night trying different clubs. nothing in particular interested me. as most of them were virtually empty. which is not a good thing when you really want to rock and roll.
next day tried hard rock. i have to say, its the classiest place in kuta. (that i've seen). nice band, atmosphere, crowd. alas closes early (around 2am i think it was). before heading to hr i stopped for few cocktail at the kuta beach hotel. (about 200m from hr). this hotel really has gone through big transformation. i mean the outside setting and the bar area is really beautiful at night with nice and speedy service. overlooking the beach. i've stayed at this place in 2004 it was nothing like this. if i go again to bali. i am staying here for sure.
hope this helps, it's my first report. comments/suggestions/criticism. will be much appreciated.
