Girls, what beach do you recommend for SURFING?

My fiancé and I are going in November for 3 nights only. All we want to do is laze around and surf! We want to stay at a hotel or resort near a beach that's nice to lounge in but also great for surfing

^ Are you pros? Suluban cave is great. If not, try anywhere along Kuta/Jimbaran/Seminyak beach.

Hi sisses, next week na ang Bali trip ko and I contacted Boron he made me an itinerary pero nirevise ko sya pero I still need to talk to him about it, medyo toxic kasi ang itinerary ko but I'm planning to start as soon as I reach Bali, susunduin na din nya ako sa airport.

I'm into temples so parang temple run lang ang iti ko

Day 1
Tanah Lot *first stop para less crowd
Pura Ulun Danu Bratan (not sure about this kasi ang layo pero ang ganda kasi)
Taman Ayun
Pandawa Beach
Uluwatu
Jimbaran *tentative pero parang gusto ko itry

Day 2
Tirta Gangga
Pura Saraswati
Monkey Forest
Batuan Temple
Tirta Empul *if may time pa
Ubod

Day 3
Beach bumming in Kuta and Seminyak

Any suggestions kung ano dapat palitan? Any other worth seeing na temples?

[aranses]

Just arrive from Bali. We spent two nights in a nice villa in Jimbaran (airbnb) and another 2 nights in Seminyak Yoga villa (booked it thru airbnb).

Bali is nice for those who loves artworks and nature but their beach is not even comparable to our boracay nor bohol. Shopping and food is very affordable here.

I highly recommend our driver, Gede, he is very patient and we sent him the places we wanted to see not knowing it is too far from each other (around 2 to 3hours drive per way) and his price more cheaper than the others. Other drivers that is highly recommended here were already booked while the other want their own itinerary to happen.

We went to the ff places:

1. tirta gangga
2. kehen temple - very pretty and not much tourist
3. saraswati temple
4. batuan temple
5. uluwatu temple
6. jimbaran bay (not recommended - their seafood is not fresh and very pricey for a sunset view)
7. taman ayun
8. ulun dana temple
9. tanah lot
10. ubud art market - you will find cheap paintings, indonesian ceramic plates and pasalubong here
11. kuta shopping area
12. seminyak square

[juicy]

Feb 10-14 sis

[itsKat!]

^hindi tayo magaabot sis!

By the way, for those na nakarating na. WE have very limited time of going out sa Bali, so if you could choose few personal favorites na sulit puntahan what would it be? (Ubud and Seminyak ARea).

Thank you!

[juicy]

^Sis, where in Ubud will you be staying? We'll stay for a night lang sa Ubud

[itsKat!]

^ hi sis. we will be staying at Kupu Kupu Barong. Magtour pa kayo sa ubud?

[juicy]

^Yes, Im planning to visit below:
Pura Lempuyang Temple
Tirta Gangga Temple
Ulun Danu Bratan Temple
Tegalalang Rice Terraces
Monkey Forest
Royal Palace
Ubud Market
Coffee Plantation

I dunno lang kung kasya in one day or 1 1/2 days 

[itsKat!]

^Better ask your driver sis.

Sa mga nanggaling na sa Bali

Saan kayo nagpapalit ng money? and compatible ba mga chargers natin dun? thanks

[aranses]

^kami nag withdraw sa airport at sa may Ubud area.

^^doable naman kaso malayo Ulun Danu Bratan almost 3hours kami nag travel from Jimbaran, so buo araw namin yan lang napuntahan saka isa temple at coffee plantation.

[juicy]

^Thanks sis, saa Ybud kami manggagaling so buti nalang less travel time to Bratan.

I'm wondering though, I ask both Boron and Norman for the cost of airport transfer to Ubud, both said 300k

Pero as per this website, airport to ubud taxi should be 195k only.

Just got back from Bali!!! Ang sarap dun, ang babait pa ng mga tao.

We didn't hire Baron, di na kasi nagreply for my suggested itinerary.
Contacted Gede instead pero booked na sya so nilipat nya ako sa mentor nya, yung natrain sa kanya maging driver/guide.

Airport to Ubud cost me 250k IDR

I highly recommend yung naging driver namin, he is full of wisdom! nakakatuwa, simple life lessons

[baliwsayo]

Ewan ko pero di ako nasiyahan sa Bali. Sobrang traffic! Dapat nag-stay na lang kami sa Resort. Nothing great naman kasi mga pinuntahan namin (gawaan ng silverware, luwak coffee, mga temples, etc)

We stayed at The Mulia. Ang ganda lang talaga ng amenities at service nila as in feeling mo super yaman mo hehe pero pagdating sa beach mas maganda pa din yun mga beach natin in fairness.

Went to Bali from February 21-23. It is a very short trip since we also visited other asian countries.

Here is our laid back/ relaxed itinerary:

Day 1

Hotel - Kupu Kupu Barong Resort (in Ubud)
We chose this resort and intentionally chose to stay the whole day there para masulit namin. One of the best resort's I've been to. Get highest room category if possible, it is very nice. Sulit ang bayad dito!
Activities:
- massage (the best, they used L'occitane products)
- afternoon tea


Day  2

Hotel - Equilibria Seminyak
Location wise okay sya since near the restaurants and bars. walking distance lang. The resort itself are composed of different private villas with pool. It's nice with playstation inside and movies.

Tour:
Goa Gajah Temple
Batuan Cave
Luwak Coffee and tasting of other kinds of coffee
Krishna - place to shop cheap souvenirs

Dinner at Nirvana's - May aircon and wifi kaya okay! sarap din food!

Day 3

Potato Head Beach - the resort is nice but the beach is so so. Masaya ang vibes dito and pwede tumambay for  minimum consumable amount.

Uluwatu Temple - spectacular view pero may monkeys (i am afraid)
Padang padang beach

Verdict: You go to Bali for their culture, temples, nice villas and resorts.

This is a relaxed itinerary kasi honeymoon namin to. Hope it helps!

How much min spend sa potato head beach club?

[naughtybrat]

We are a big group of family (20-30 depends sa budget/head) planning to go to bali this June to celebrate my moms bday. Is a villa advisable or a hotel stay? What is a good target budget each person? All recommendations are welcome. Will start back reading now. Thanks in advance.

[itsKat!]

^layzieg, depende sa table pero if i can recall correctly nasa mga 2,000 pesos lang pag cinonvert sa currency natin
