Hi,

I wondered if anyone has found the hotel spa masseuses sometimes offer massage plus or is there too much risk of them losing their jobs.

I'm coming to Legian on January 14 for four days. Can any one suggest couple of massage plus places near sky garden? Since I am coming with my wife I can be away from room for an hour maximum at a stretch.

Went to 11 X. Easy to find, located right on the main road. Talk to the papasan and tell him what I want and he says take a seat. It will be about 5 minutes. Sure enough in about 5 minutes a guy arrives with a cute girl on the back of his motor bike. He ask if she is to my liking and I say yes. Got to head into the room and he says "you pay first". So I try the same trick again and pull out 200 K and hand it to him and turn to walk away. He says no, 300 K. I say no it's 200 K. Now I realize we are haggling about approx. $7. 30 US but the principle of the thing takes over and I say 200 K or nothing. He stands firm so I leave. I tell him before I leave that house 29 is only 200 K. He said he doesn't believe me. So off I go.

It's only about 4:00 pm but I stop at house 29 anyway. It's dead but there's about 4 or 5 girls on hand. One gives me a nice smile so I say why not and pick her. Hand the papasan 200 K and off we go. She gives good service for what the situation is and I finally pop and clean up. Hand her 50 K tip, she's satisfied, I'm satisfied. So on my way back passed 11 X I stop and say only 200 K right down the street. He shrugs his shoulders and off I go. So to summarize house 29 is 200 K and 11 X is 300 K. The only advantage to 11 X is they seem to expect business a little earlier than the fishbowls.

So later, long story short, I strike out later with the freelance seen. Not because I couldn't get one but because I didn't really find one I was interested in. I decide why force the situation and have a bad experience so I call it a night and live to screw another day.

Thanks TimTimGuy. Legian was more an issue with the hotel than anything else.

I did want to mention I explicitly asked all three hotels mentioned about girl policy and all three confirmed reports that girls who leave their ID at the desk are allowed to visit a guest room.

That seems fair enough. Looks like the hotel is making sure nothing happens to their guest. I'm a bit confused though guys: I thought Bali was like the rest of Indonesia where all the hotels, except the Syariah hotels, are girl friendly. I've never been queried about bringing girls back to my room ever and I've stayed in 30+ different hotels in Jakarta, Medan, Bali and a few other places around the country. I've been charged extra in Thailand for a guest but never in Indonesia.

Hi,

I need some help please.

I have only one night left in Kuta, Denpasar, Bali.

Here is my report from last night (8-Dec-2015, Tuesday).

I tried to find a girl. I went to Hard Rock Cafe at about 10 pm. Taxi driver said it was the best place to find a girl (paid or free range). Also some other sites said it would be good. At 10 pm it had maybe 5-10 people in total. So I took a (bluebird) taxi to Sky Garden.

All taxi drivers including bluebird (supposed to be cool) do not use a meter. 5 min ride cost me 100 k.

Got to Skygarden: before entering, checked out Poddys, VIP, Bounty -- all dead at 10 pm.

Stayed at Skygarden until 11:30 pm, found only one old freelancer.

The rest were the usual (apparently) Australian youth getting drunk.

I did not want to hang around wasting time, so took a taxi back to my hotel.

I was desperate, so when driver said girl boom-boom, I said OK but I need to see the girls first.

It took him 30 min driving around calling people before we arrived and at some Legian location.

Van with 3 girl. Two were fat, one had a cute face. They asked 1.2 m for 1-hour. I said 800 k, since it is only for one hour.

Pimp agreed since I only had 900 k left in my pocket.

The girl was 5-6 out of 10. She said 23 yo (believable). Nice cute body, but a lot of stomach stretch marks (looked like she had a baby recently).

Coming from Australia, I am used to fuglies. So, I turned her in ways to minimize the stomach blubber and finished my business.

So the bottom line: I spend (1-1.5 m IDR, $80-120) and got the same average lay as in Australia (and only slightly cheaper).

Any quick pointers to get a quality fuck in Bali.

I am 50 yo, slim and fit. But I do not want to hang around bars for hours looking for a girl.

Yes, I will try reading this forum.

Thanks to previous reports and the Sanur map I set up shop at Sukun Bali Cottages. It is almost directly across the street from On On Bar. On On bar was a good place to drink and chat with other expats while playing some billiards. Some free lancers pop in there but overall it's not a good place to pick-up ladies.

So day one I decide to try out fishbowl 29. I walk down the driveway and turn right and there's a guy standing there and asks if I want a girl. Of course, why else would I be here. It's about 8:00 pm on a Sunday and the fishbowl is full of girls. Somewhere between 20-30. Some decent lookers. A few say Hello, and make some noise to get my attention. I survey the crowd and make my choice. Walk out and start walking towards one of the rooms and the pimp says "you pay now". Thanks to some good tips on this forum I casually reach in my pocket without negotiating and hand him 200 K IDR. No complaints and into the room I go with? I forget. I get CBJ, sex in 3 positions, in a hot room with sub par A / see. For 200 K I'm not complaining. 50 K tip also. So I head out and go to On On bar to do some drinking.

Later on I end up at a place called Zoo bar. It's a club type atmosphere but due to Sunday night it's a little dead. I meet a freelancer. Attractive, has had one kid, late 20's but nice firm body. There's not many options but neither is there for her. I decide to negotiate and she says 1 million. I counter low so we can meet in the middle and we settle on 500 K for what I can only describe as medium time. I'll explain further in a second. Anyway she has her own motor bike so she drives us back to my place at SBC. This place has a weird outdoor bathroom. Don't know how to explain it but it's got a high wall that opens up into the open air. It has 3 mirrors on the wall in the very large shower and a shower head that water falls from about 9 feet above like it raining. We go at in the shower in front of the mirrors for a while and this girl knows what she is doing. After a long time in the shower sucking and fucking we move in to the room w / nice A / see and on to the bed. This girl can straight up fuck. We hit several positions and it's taking a while because I drank too much. She's aware of this but is being a good sport. I finally pop and she says lets take a nap. It's like 3 in the morning. So I'm like ok because I thought I was getting short time. But we wake up at about 8:30 she grabs my equipment and gives me the cue for round 2. We have another nice session where I finally get off drilling her from behind standing up. She says she needs to shower and get going. This is why I say medium time. Because it wasn't short time and it wasn't long time. I'm completely satisfied and ready to go back to sleep so I say no problem hand her 500 K and a tip and off she goes and I go back to sleep. I have a blissful slumber dreaming of curvy little nymphos with caramel skin only to awake to realize the dream was reality just a short while earlier. A good start to Sanur.

Normally I send notes like this one via PM, but you don't seem to have one. Anyway, I hope to hear / read more from you, I enjoyed it. Sorry you didn't have a good time in Legian. And I agree that the forum is actually hard to use for current info-- I think most of us try to be helpful if new guys have made some effort to find info and have specific Qs. TTG.

I'm well traveled. I've been to most of the major scenes around the world. Usually multiple times. I've had fun everywhere from hidden gems like Hanoi to the neon plastered streets of Pattaya. I've been multiple times to Phuket, Bangkok, Costa Rica, Mexico, the States, and various places in western Europe. I've been to Angeles City too. It can be endlessly frustrating given the forum layout to educate oneself on the Bali scene. Sifting through 1500 posts on a single topic for a city is not efficient.

So I will just tell you about my experience. Maybe this can help you avoid having to read through hundreds of posts that are not organized by any topic other than "Bali".

Disclaimer. This was my first trip to Bali. Even worse, I only spend 4 days in Bali (2 in Legian, 2 in Sanur). I in no way pretend to be even a novice at this particular scene. This is just my experience.

Landed at DPS and hauled ass to domestic terminal to grab a 4 G SIM card. Traveling with a factory unlocked phone and a local SIM with plenty of data is a must for me. Exchange rates at the airport looked terrible but had converted enough of the last country's currency to pay for a taxi. A taxi from domestic seemed cheaper than the rates I read posted. So perhaps grabbing Taxi service from domestic is a notable discount from international arrivals. But it's a long walk.

We had booked All Seasons Legian from suggestions on this thread & various travel sites. Girl friendly. Looked decent. Both rooms were terrible. I like a warm room but the AirCon in both rooms on full blast for hours was terrible. And the second you leave your room (as you expect in SE Asia), the A / see goes off when you pull your room key. They had an awful cover band playing at the pool until 10 pm. I don't mind idiocracies of scene like this as it didn't disturb sleep. The room was OK. The safe was small & both my friend & I got locked out of our own safes. I've been to about 18 countries, he has been to double that. We understand the variety of room safes a traveler is bound to encounter. Things were not looking good at All Seasons. The hotel is located down a back street that is one way. I don't understand why this place is favored except for their girl friendly policy. You really have to walk a long way to get anywhere, grab Uber, or be at the mercy of seemly rather shady taxi & mototaxi services.

We decided to hit the clubs despite an early private tour the next morning. Our taxi driver from the airport told us M Bar Go had closed or was bankrupt. We asked to go to Sky Garden & figured we would sort it out from there. Our motorcycle taxis took us all of 200 meters & stopped at two vans full of girls. The pimp came out & the motorcycle taxis asked us if we like the girls. Given we had plans early am, we each grabbed a girl & took her back to the hotel. Probably the sleaziest transaction ever but it turned out OK for both of us as we compared notes next day. The pimp wanted 700 k, I laughed and said I can go to Sanur for 200 k. The motorcycle taxi was the translator between me & the pimp. I offered 500 k. We settled on 600 k which given the circumstances worked out well because we had about 6 hours before our driver picked us up to take us across the island.

The girls were OK. Decent enough performers. Certainly not the 1-2 million quotes I've heard mentioned. It was pop & go as was expected & wanted. No real complaints but nothing memorable either.

In the previous country before landing in Bali, I installed an Android app called FakeGPS Free. This allows you to set your GPS location which then allows you to look "local" to other Tinder users in Bali without paying the $20/ month Tinder fee to add locations out of your "current" region. I had been working a few girls briefly with minimal effort for a day or two before arrival. We woke up & had a driver take us to the north side of the island. This was an all day affair. No fun at that night as we were in major travel recoup mode.

After 2 miserable nights at All Seasons Legian, we moved to Taksu Sanur. I had done Google Maps street view & Legian looked a hell of a lot nicer than Sanur. But quite the opposite happened. I'm so glad our virgin Bali trip we split 2 days between Legian & Sanur. Clearly there are nice resorts on the beach north of Legian. But I actually preferred Sanur without question. Despite staying at Taksu, we took Uber up to Oasis Lagoon & Nesa Sanur. We asked the desk to show us the rooms for future reference. We originally were thinking of staying at Nesa Sanur but after comparing the 3 properties in person, Oasis is clearly the most upscale of the 3 (Oasis, Taksu, Nesa). Nesa feels like a budget guest house. It's perfectly fine but pretty bare bones. Nesa showed us their 2 BR suite with a fancy name. I preferred the standard rooms to their suite. Online, Taksu rooms looked very bland. No personality. But in reality the layout was spacious (unlike Oasis Lagoon & Nesa Sanur). If I was going to stay further north of the X houses in the future, I would definitely choose Oasis over Nesa. But Taksu was great. Better than expected. The safe was bigger. The room was clean. The AirCon worked great. The bathroom was clean & supplied with toiletries. The room was bright & fresh. Plus, the staff was great.

Nights 3-4 were spent in Sanur. We hit the 2 X houses near 67 X. I used the Bali Monger Map & Sanur Fishbowl Trail Map (on Google Maps) to check out the area. I wanted fish bowls because I didn't want to roll into a place & have a guy take off on a scooter & bring me some unknown quantity. Both my friend & I hit the X houses that result in a session at 67 X. He went to 18 X, I went to neighboring 66 X. He paid 250 k, I paid 200 k. The rooms were better than I expected. My buddy took the only girl I had interest in at 18 X so I walked 100 meters to 66 X and grabbed a busty girl. Handed the guy 200 K & he pointed with a laser pointer to the room I needed to go to at 67 X to meet the girl. She didn't speak English but the session was decent. For the price, it was quite a good time. Tipped her 100 k for letting me do what I wanted and off I went. My friend reported similar results with his session.

So the time has flown by with the exploration of the island & switching hotels from Legian to Sanur. The last night I invited a Tinder girl for dinner. She came all the way from Seminyak and I figured the odds at about 25% that she would show up. I never mentioned money, boom boom, or anything but dinner. I told her I would like to take her to dinner & would pay for her taxi. Her taxi came to 98,900 on the meter which seems a bit high given our Uber from Legian was half that. I paid the driver 100 K. We went for a nice dinner down near Mecure Resort. That area was very calm & peaceful but full of retired couples. She was so curious about Taksu. She looked at every painting. She stared out the window at the pool like she was looking at Taj Mahal. She was 29 but looked 20. A little spinner who spoke decent English. We had a great time which ended up in a little night action. Some sleep. And some morning action. No rules. Took her to breakfast at the hotel which by the way is good but way overpriced. At least their bacon is real bacon which is more than I can say for 95% of breakfasts in SE Asia. Paid her 100 K for her taxi back and gave her 600 k for her. No problem, no complaints, no hint of an issue. So all in I spent 800 K + breakfast + dinner for about 14 hours with her and 2 sessions. She was a great find but not particularly difficult to find. Bali was just a pit stop on a 6 country venture so the Tinder effort was minimal at best.

So that was my experience. Whether it is representative of what you will find in Bali, who knows? I just know how frustrating it is given the forum's format to sift through a thread a mile long where topics jump from A to Z. Not one minute spent in a nightclub. 4 nights & 3 days in Bali (2 Legian / 2 Sanur) were worth the trip. In general from the limited areas I've experienced, I'd really say go for Sanur. Play the X Houses by day & Tinder by night. And definitely use Uber. It's a lifesaver.

My first review so go easy on me.

Just finishing off my trip to Bali, my normal haunt is Pattaya and found this place way harder to work out.

Stayed at Hotel Mercure in Kuta which was ok, bit dated with terrible wifi.

Often easier to head out to a cafe or restaurant to check online.

For all those having problems with blocked websites, learn how to use vpn! So easy to get around.

Google for mybestvpn or something similar. Takes a few seconds to manually setup up a vpn on android or iOS nowadays.

So walking around Kuta you will get accosted by woman who try to get you to have a massage and often try to make you think you will get more.

Maybe you will but they all looked a scam to me as the hot woman stay outside and you get lead to a dingy shop.

After reading here I went and tried Kuta Bugar, I foolishly walked it there, don't bother as you will get there a soaking mess!..

Too funny. I was there a couple of months ago and the exact same thing happened to me with the same girl (#5). Everything from the puppy dog please $300 k to the constant looking at the door to the I'll come to you hotel but I too left the next day. Kudos for get her top off because I couldn't. She was too worried about getting caught.

[MasBule]

Best advise for a new-cummer is to head off to Jl Camplung Tanduk in Seminyak. There is a cluster of hook-up bars where you only need minimal social skills and a wad of cash to play big.Don't forget to take pictures and post your experiences here in the forum.

Hahahaha, yes and on this occasion best we have the pics of the girls with their clothes ON.

[Asian MP Lover]

What bars there are pickup bars where you can meet actual women?

The standard newbie advise still applies: head for the bar blasting a techno remake of the Kinks "Lola".

Smoothy: with 1300+ of quality posts this advise *doesn't* apply to you. Keep it up (pun intended).
