Advantages: Good size room, good food, friendly service, umbrellas
Disadvantages: Easy to get lost!

I've been looking forward to going to Bali for a long time. For nigh on twenty years in fact, it has been up near the top of my 'Gotta Go' list, but there's always somewhere else that has just nudged its way ahead because of convenience, or price. Or thos ... Read review

Lovely beaches but not as quiet as I expected or I was told. I went during the christmas period where business is very slow for the locals so everyone was desperate to sell you something or get you to go on a day trip.This is good when your are wanting to ... Read review

Advantages: awesome watersport
Disadvantages: too quiet at evening

Nusa Dua area is great place for watersport. Here you can easily jump to the water for diving (even not the best choice compare to Bunaken), snorkling, kayaking, jet ski, banana boat, windsurfing, etc. This area is more quiet than Kuta, so if you like ... Read review

We were here in June - the monkeys really need watching - one was almost off with my camera pouch - luckly the camera was in my hand!! Its fun to see the monkeys but your right they can be agressive - we were there with a Balinese guide who looked after us - lve got a great picture with a monkey on my head! Ubud was lovely too - l loved the market although l didnt get to see it properly as the heat was searing! We only spent and afternoon in Ubud but l can definately see why you would want to make a return visit. Heather by purdy

Good review, Kate. The naughty monkeys remind me of my wedding early this year - I got married on Gibraltar. Nicola by kollarosie

I agree with you totally that tourism should begin again. It's such a beautiful country, well worth one, if not several visits. I know that terrorism won't stop me from returning sometime soon. The only restraint is money not fear. My condolences. Steve by stevesingh
