Great Indulgence

My family and I went to Bali just as the holiday started ( to avoid the chaos and overcrowd of Lebaran holiday in Bali). We have always loved Bali and its been sort of a must visit place at least once a year. We always stayed at different hotels while we're there and are always hotels by the beach this time we're hitting the mountains.

I have to say that we're fortunate coz we've always had wonderful experiences in different hotels, it's always great hotel with fabulous facilities and view. We stayed at Ubud (2 hour drive from the airport), its mostly mountains in that area. The hotel we stayed in was located at a hillside and strectched above two river valleys.

We stayed at a villa and it was very nicely put as the entrance to the villa was located pretty far to the villa itself. They also provide free yoga sessions in which me and my mom took part while we were there. What's famous about this place is the Spa Resort. I've heard about how great it was but I didn't really know why until I was there checking it out by myself. They won the Best Spa Award for 2 years in a row which explains why its so hard to make a reservation. The Spa Resort located by the side of the river overlooking the valley. We had our spa treatments at one of their eight open-air private treatments pavilion which located by the side of the river. As we get our treatment, we enjoy the sound of flowing water from the river and the cool natural breeze.

Here's some pictures..

Personally I loved the hotel and the change of scenery, however, me and my sister agreed that we once stayed at a better hotel where the villa has 3 bedrooms each with its own TV, sofa, and a big bathroom with a big bathtub. There was also a kitchen (complete with all the eating and cooking utensils), a big screen TV with all the BOSE sound system, and a private jacuzzi in the villa. My dad said if we compared every hotel to 'that' one, we're never going to find any better ones. Oh well..
