It's not everyday that you get offered a free trip to Bali for a few days. So whenever that day comes there is only one right answer, hell yeah! That's right, by some stroke of the gods I was part of a large group of people at work who were presented with a very nice award. As part of that award and for recognition of significant hard work the group was flown to Bali for a 4 night all expense paid trip complete with private villas, private pools, and a muddy river to raft in. Bali was such an incredible and fabulous, I never use that word but it's highly appropriate, place that I'll have to cover it over a few posts. However in this post I'll like to talk about the great accommodations we stayed in during the trip.
Our hotel was called The Villas Bali Hotel & Spa and to be honest it wasn't a hotel but a series of villas all completely fenced with everything you could possibly need inside. We rented a few villas as the group was quite large. I was in a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom villa with a full kitchen, pool (all had pools), and comfortable living space. The villas were extremely well kept, clean and had most of the trappings of a 4 star hotel.
We spent a lot of time in the pools, actually the pool parties were some of the best parts of the trip. The rest of the time was spent roaming around the island looking for interesting things, and there were a lot of interesting things to do. Bali is a place where you can experience whatever vacation you like. If you like lounging at a pool and sun bathing you can do that. If you prefer to go on adventure treks there is diving, snorkeling, rafting, Kayaking, and a host of other activities to keep you buys. Or if you prefer seaside bars or a party scene there are certainly lots of those. In short, I found Bali to have lovely tropical weather, the opulence of hollywood, and the tact and service of Asia. It's a perfect combination.
Bali has some of the best beachside bars that I've been to and that's where things really got fun. I'll save those adventures for another post, for now enjoy these pics from the villa.
