SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL
Review of General: Bali by
purdy
Advantages: An idylic island paradise
Disadvantages: Check with the foreign office for travel recommendations due to terriorist threats
I was extremely lucky to have visited Bali, Indonesia in June 2005, before the second bombings took place. To have occurred once was horrendous, killing and maiming all those people but for a second time - what has this island paradise and beautiful and gentle people done to deserve this? I don't want to dwell too much on this incident l want to extol to you (hopefully doing it some justice) the majestic beauty and peaceful tranquillity of this small ...

Bleurgh to Bali
Review of General: Bali by
Redhead
Advantages: Hot, sunny, cheap food and a local KFC!!
Disadvantages: Dirty, not nice beaches and the sea was too rough!
As you can tell by the title Bali was not my ideal holiday - do apologise to anyone that loves it!
Bali was part of a three centre holiday that included Bangkok and Hong Kong in October 2001. Bangkok was for the first three nights, Hong Kong for the last two nights and Bali was the nine nights in the middle. The flight to Bangkok was around 12 hours then another flight of about 6 hours to get to Bali, we landed in Denpasar which is the capital ...

I urge you to go back to Bali
Review of General: Bali by
Nyoman
Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: See opinion
On Saturday October 12th 2002 just after 11pm a small bomb exploded in Paddy’s Bar on Legian Street in Kuta, Bali. This was shortly followed by a huge explosion that came from a car parked across the street outside the Sari Club. Both Paddy’s Bar and the Sari Club were full of young people; travellers, tourists, surfers, honeymooners, ex-pats, bar staff, doormen, prostitutes, DJs. A mix of people from all over the world and from all walks ...

Is this really paradise
Review of General: Bali by
Jenson
Advantages: sunny weather, not too humid, friendly people, beautiful landscape, good value for money
Disadvantages: too commercialised, aggressive vendors, dirty beaches
Bali - everyone's idea of paradise? Well, certainly ours which is why we chose to go there for our honeymoon last month. Perhaps our expectations were set too high or perhaps we have been fortunate to have seen many other beautiful places for we found Bali to be a great disappointment.
Harsh words? So to be fair let's list the good points; sunny weather, not too humid, friendly people, beautiful landscape, good value for money due to the currency ...

Paradise On Earth
Review of General: Bali by
DavidG
Advantages: Sun, Heat, Surf, Cheap, Clean and Safe
Disadvantages: Long distance flight, Expensive flight
I went to Bali in September 1999 with my girlfriend and spent three weeks travelling the island. After a long 25 hour flight, the moment we stepped off the plane we knew that we were in Paradise. From the runway that disappears into the sea built on a coral reef, the surrounding beaches and palm trees to the hot evening air and beautiful sunset that greeted our arrival, my first impression was that this would probably be a summer well spent. First ...

Something For Everyone
Review of General: Bali by
ildamiano
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Bali really does cater for everyone, be you a backpacker, honeymooner or package holidayer. Parts of the island have been decimated by tourism. The best example of this is Kuta, once a peaceful fishing village with an amazing beach, now a sprawling town full of hawkers and pimps. (the beach is still amazing though with incredible surf and miles of golden sand, as the hawkers mostly stay off the beach and towards the road)
If you like your nightlife, ...

I've found Paradise.
Review of General: Bali by
ChrisCooper
Advantages: Cheap, beautiful weather, absolute luxury, what more can you want?
Disadvantages: Mosquitoes and a long-haul flight
As soon as I stepped off the plane after a 21 hour flight from London Heathrow with BA to Jakarta then to Denpasar(capital of Bali) with Garuda Indonesia, I knew I had found paradise. It was early morning at about 9am and the temperature was upto about 25 degrees (hell) and by lunch time 45 degrees (absolute hell) but we had the gorgeous Balinese sea of Nusa Dua to cool us down. We stayed for 2 weeks all inclusive, and had a brilliant time. Our room ...

LIVING ROUGH(ISH!)
Review of General: Bali by
IMOGENIUS
Advantages: Weather, atmosphere, cheapness of everything.
Disadvantages: Lack of hot water,hawkers.
Getting to Gili Trawagnan was quite an ordeal in itself, travelling from Bali to Lombok, and then getting on the boat over to the island. As the boat approched the Island we became aware of the fact that it would not sail all the way to the shore so we had to jump out and wade through the water in order to reach the Island.This was fairly amusing as we had to struggle with our rucksacks above our head, whilst panicking about creatures that we were ...
