User reviews of Bali
Bangin' in Bali.
The intro to Bali was busy; many lights lotsa bikes. But when day came the sun was hot and the smell of chicken feet floated in the air. I reccomend other towns than Kuta, because it is so busy, but if you are traveling with family it is the best place. If you want to get around it is best to hire a local driver (40$ a day approx). Make sure to check out one of the many local shrines, and pay to get in as tourism is the locals only form of income. For good local eating hit up the hawker stands that take up the sidewalks after the sun goes down (gotta love the chicken feet and fish chips). for fancy dining and a great view of the blue bali water check out 'Ku de ta' (roughly translated 'North of Kuta'). Bring lots of money to spend, once again, as tourism is their only form of income. And in Kuta you can buy such rip off clothing as Armani for a third of the price. Lock up belongings and nice clothes in hotel rooms as they are sometimes swiped by the local pirates.

(Report Problem)Paradise Found in Bali
I stayed at the Santika Resort in Kuta. It was unbelievable. The poeple were so friendly and the shopping was fantastic. I've been all over the world and Bali is my favorite place to go. Its very romantic for couples, but there is also alot to do for families.

(Report Problem)"Paradise In Motion"
Bali is one of those places in which you have to go and experience. It offers so much in rich culture, and also a spiritual experience as well. Bali is cheap if you know where to go, And it's also a great romantic place as well. If your newly weds or just want to go somewhere exotic with the one you love, with beautiful sunsets and wonderful sights, it's sure to make a good romantic getaway. And the people there are really nice and very hospitable. From the beautiful beaches of Kuta, to the magical temples of the mountian tops. Bali has great things to offer for the travler who wants to get away from it all, and have peace of mind in Paradise.

(Report Problem)Bali is a wonderful escape from everyday life!
Bali is beautiful, especially in Ubud and its surrounding areas. The mountains, rivers, and wildlife are spectacular! The Balinese are a very kind and generous people, with very warm smiles. It was a joy to enjoy life at a slower pace, watching women carrying fruit basket offerings to the local (Hindu) temple in the morning, or field workers in the rice terraces herding ducks at the end of the day. And then there were the more normal resort offerings: swimming pools, spas, and very nicely-decorated rooms. I can only descibe my Bali experience as a true escape from the ordinary. I hope to return very soon.

(Report Problem)A must visit at least once.
Went for our Honeymoon - was a great experience. Be prepared to see quite a bit of poverty between resort and sight seeing destinations. However, people are very friendly and never felt any danger (ie Jamaica).

(Report Problem)i enjoyed it so much
Bali IS the island of the Gods. the culture is very interesting. lots of temple to see. and of course, beautiful beaches. very friendly local people. and everything's relatively cheap. u should try the marine sports. affordable and fun. Have a very nice dinner on the beach, it's a worthwhile experience. I love Japan the most, but talking about beaches and exotic cultures, Bali is the choice. Go there and get yourself treated as a God/goddess in the island of the Gods!

(Report Problem)Dream vacation
I have been to Bali twice in the past four years, each time for close to a month. I was there just before the bombing and then again this May/June. I can't recommend the island more highly, although I would suggest NOT going in high season. May and June are perfect! I ate some of the best meals and stayed in great places. If you want to try the beach, Seminyak is still bearable and quite pretty. Villa Kresna next to the Oberoi is a great place and I have stayed there both times. Just go!
