Having been to Bali many times over the last 25 years, after my last visit in 2008, I decided I was “All Bali’d out” and would not go back in a hurry. However, time takes the edge of memories, and come 2010, and the need for a quick, easy getaway, we decided Bali it was ! Read the rest of this entry »

Having previously given details of times and costs of the ferry services from Sanur, Bali to Lembongan Island, I thought it was probably timely to give an update. Having returned from Sanur in February 2010, I noted the ferry times and prices as follows.

A few days ago, I reviewed our recent stay at Parigata Villas Resort, in Sanur, Bali. I gave a description of the Villa we stayed in, as well as the facilities associated with the villa - in particular the private pool and courtyard that is attached to each Villa.
This post, was to give some more details on the overall resort, and facilities, and services.

We recently stayed at the Parigata Villas Resort, that are located at 99 Duyung St, Sanur. As usual, I will give my genuine, honest opinion of the resort and its facilities, as well as a few photos.
First issue with this resort, is finding details of it on the Internet. As the company that operates the resort has 2 other locations, with very similar names, it is difficult to know exactly which of their resorts you are looking at, prior to booking. This is the same for getting to the resort, as it causes some confusion to Taxi drivers! More about the company and its 3 resorts later!
We are currently putting together something a bit different….An escorted tour of Bali!! We are as bit unsure as to demand, so we are looking to tap our reader base, and see what feedback we can get!

With visit number 11 to Bali coming up early in the new year, time is fast approaching where I need to decide where to stay, and what do once we get there. Flights are booked, thanks to Air Asia (I’m a big fan!), but no other arrangements are in place at this stage

Finally, 4 months after cancelling all their services due to loss of their leased plane, Indojet have publicly answered some questions on refunds for flights that have not happened.
They are offering a couple of options on what consumers can have with regards to credits or refunds, although they are still not necessarily a very satisfactory outcome! Below is an excerpt, directly from their website, explaining their offer -
Please note that you have 2 options as follows:
1. If your flight was for the period of May through to October 2009, then you will either receive a voucher for another flight which will be arranged after 12th of December 2009. Alternatively, you may elect to obtain a refund of your travel fares, however we note that the refunds will only be made after the 12th of December 2009.
2. If your flights are booked for travel from November 2009 onwards, you will not receive any refunds but will be provided with vouchers so you can re arrange your travel plans.
Most disappointing on the above, is the fact nothing will happen for another 2 months, until mid December, for who know what reason. also disappointing, is their is still absolutely no way of contacting them that is acknowledged.
I hope they finally restitute the mess they have made, and put customers right!

Ubud, Bali is one of those wonderful, peaceful places, away from the madding crowd, that can be a magnificent escape for a weeks true relaxing. It is away from the hustle and bustle of Bali’s Southern beaches, it is comparatively cool, and it green and lush year round
In addition, there a any number of mid and high end getaways hidden in Ubud and the villages surrounding.
How do you find that hidden bargain?? look no more, I have stumbled across a search product that searches all major booking engines, and compares prices for you! Have a look at HotelsCombined . you wont be disappointed! The best hotels, and the best discounts. Honestly!!
That site again - Hotelscombined. Check out the four seasons and Kapu Kapu Barong as a couple of recommendations from me!

I have been visiting Bali since the early 1980’s, and like everyone else, I am often flabbergasted as to how much it has changed in that time. Not that I am saying I dont like Bali anymore, because I do, but there is no doubt that it has changed significantly also! And, as I have a reputation as a traveller who like to visit places a little “off the beaten track”, often people assume I hate Bali, or long for the good old days!

The West Australian Government’s Department of Commerce have recently issued some advise to those who have been effected by the withdrawal of Indojet from the Perth to Bali flight. I have posted a copy, and a link to their press release below. In addition, they recommend all effected customers register with them, for future updates.
