Starting the Bali diaries!
So we hit Bali once again. Our last trip to Bali was 2 years ago. We will celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary in Bali this year, actually. So we already book our flight ticket from May 17-20, 2016. It is a must to pick the window seating, because I do really love to see a clear blue sky scenery from up above.
We will stay for 4 days 3 nights in Bali at several hotels. We'd opportunity to stayed at several hotels in Bali, so here's the review of 3 different hotels we stayed.when in Bali.
- Novotel Bali Nusa Dua (5 Stars)
So this is my first attempt to stay at Novotel, my first day also after landed in Bali. Novotel actually located at Nusa Dua, ITDC Complex (Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation). The hotel quite big and have one pool inside (both for adults and children).

- Pullman Legian (5 Stars)
This is my second day and also my second attempt to stay in Pullman Legian. 2 years ago in my Bali trip I also stay in here. From lobby they have left and right wings for the rooms. I got the left wing at second floor. My room is pool view actually. They have 4 hammocks hanging in their garden if you want to just lying around and enjoy your books or maybe take a nap it's a great experience.
Because it's our 3rd wedding anniversary, Pullman give us surprise by decor our room with goose towel and give us chocolate cake as complimentary.

Other than swimming pool near Hotel Lobby and Restaurant, they also have one more pool at 5th floor, called Infinity Pool. Because when you see, there's no boundaries between the pool and the sky, there's no edge between them. Here's some snap of their Infinity Pool.
- Rimba Jimbaran by Ayana (5 Stars)
On my last night there, I stayed in Rimba Jimbaran by Ayana. Located near Jimbaran Bay, the Ayana Complex offers many fascinating experience there. As I stayed in Rimba, I still can have full access to all of Ayana Complex, such as Ayana Resort and Spa, Private Villa, Kubu Beach, SKY Ayana, Rock Bar, and many more. You will be amaze with their hospitality also, their staff are very friendly and helpful. Surely will comeback here.
Rimba Jimbaran
Kubu Beach
To strolling around this Ayana complex, they provide tourist with this Tram that will be arrived every 5 minutes within this area. After dropped from tram, you have to go downstairs (which more likely hunderd of stairs waiting for you) to find Kubu Beach.
Ayana Resort and Spa
Ayana resort it self offers great scenery; stunning beach, beautiful flowers, rice paddy, I think it's the most spacious resort I've ever stayed. Ayana has 5 swimming pools with different view, like Infinity Edge pool, Ocean View Pool, etc. There's also some restaurant and bars here where you can also dine in while watching the beautiful sunset. One of the most favorite place is Rock Bar. Open at 4 pm in the evening. You have to come early if you don't want to queuing. To go down to Rock Bar, you can either take the elevator or by stairs. Other than Rock Bar, there also Sami-sami Restaurant, Kisik bar and Grill, etc
One of most Bali luxurious villa that gives you unforgettable experience. Relax at River Pool while enjoying ocean view or swimming in the two tier pool.
Rimba Jimbaran
So this is the Rimba Jimbaran famous lobby where you can sit and relax enjoying the view. It's also a great spot to take a picture. Rimba has 6 swimming pools around the hotels. If you like to chill and dine, there's also bar there, named UNIQUE Roof Top and Bar that gives you panoramic view that faces one of Bali's best sunset.
