Anyone been to Bali??

We are going there on our honeymoon in three weeks!!!?

I know a few poeple who have been and said it was really laid back, lovely people, lots of culture etc. We are going in August, so it should be dry and about 30c-perfect for us. We are going because we wanted somewhere where the weather would be good and have a mixture of relaxing and sightseeing.

We are staying at the puri santrian hotel, in sanur. Travelling with Hayes & Jarvis. Can't wait!!!!

HTH XXX

Yes, we went in December just after 9/11 so it was deserted as a lot of people had cancelled due to fear of flying etc. We stayed at the Putri Bali hotel in Nusa Dua and it was gorgeous. Food fantastic, private beach, weather out of this world. The people are really, really friendly and helpful and designer clothes are dirt cheap! You will love it. We didn't do a stopover but wished we had!! 13hr flight to Singapore then straight onto another flight for 3 hours to Bali. We could still feel the aircraft seats on our bums 3 days later ? We went with Kuoni - highly recommended.

Yes, 11 years ago and it is gorgeous. lots of culture, lovely beaches and was all very cheap. great if you like surfing

I wasnt massively keen on hong kong (and I`d always wanted to go there) but I think it was just my state of mind at the time. i reckon it would be fab on your HM though-great views on the harbour, loads of shopping, great restaurants etc

I am getting even more excited and sure that this is the right place to go after hearing all these positive responses.

Can I just ask if the hotels you have mentioned are all-inclusive or not and also be cheeky and ask what sort of price would I be looking at for going??

thanks

Sorry cant help re prices in Bali as it was so long ago and I was backpacking.

Hong Kong-hotels are very reasonable if you book them yourself. I stayed somewhere quite nice and pretty cheap but it wasnt HM fodder. If you try trip advisor or similar youll be able to get somewhere.
