Bali

Pros: The people, the scenery and the culture.
Cons: Can't think of any.

Think of a land where people are spiritual and artistic, where tropical plants climb and trail as if they know they have a duty to look beautiful and you will think of Bali. Even aspects of everyday life can be incredibly graceful. Take time to watch the ...

Pros: Visible exotic culture, friendly people, awesome sights.
Cons: none

We just returned on July 5, 2003 from our second trip to Bali. You may ask, Why do you need Bali? ...

Cons: Sanitation occasionally dubious, hawkers sometimes aggressive, shopping so-so.

Bali Yang Indah - Beautiful Bali!

Intro
Bali is a favourite holiday resort for many Australians: it's close, inexpensive and a good place to escape to in the middle of our dreary southern winter.

I wrote...

Pros: Not any that I can think of
Cons: Hot, dirty, and ripe for political problems

We were in Bali for two days while on a cruise from Sydney to Singapore. Other than Sydney being the highlight of our trip, I expected Bali to be the "most beautiful place in the world". We got up that morning, the ship was anchored about 10 minutes away...

Pros: Great weather, people, culture, shopping, beach massages.
Cons: Litter, vendors can be annoying, long flight from US.

My wife and I spent two weeks in Bali in September of 2003. We took advantage of Asian Affair Holidays special Bali package using world class Singapore Airlines and added more time to do other areas on our own. We arrived in Bali after a two night sto ...

Pros: Inexpensive, stellar shopping, good food, safe
Cons: Undrinkable water, lack of French and Italian wines, mosquitoes

I’ve been to Bali three times now & am already planning a fourth foray there next spring.  My initial sojourn in May, 2007, was mainly a spiritual trip that left me fascinated.  My second trip in April, 2008, took me to more of the ...

Pros: Great prices, wonderful people, spectacular scenery.
Cons: Long trip from the USA

Went to Bali of America's Thanksgiving Holiday (the last week in November). It was a first trip there although we have traveled in SE Asia before(was stationed in the American Navy in Subic Bay RP).

I found Bali to be a bit more prosperous...

Pros: Great resorts, great scenery, great restaurants, great shopping!
Cons: Getting around can be slow, not as inexpensive as some countries

Girlina and her travel buddy were given a great gift by Singapore Airlines - a supercheap last-minut ...

Pros: A couple of nice beaches, interesting people.
Cons: Was there in aftermath of bomb.

I usually try to write funny reviews that appeal to my dry British sense of humour. Unfortunately this will not be one of them. I must warn everybody that we landed after a great holiday in Bangkok 5 hours after the bomb went off, and as a result I won't ...

Pros: Peaceful, Excellent Service, Beautiful amenities and surroundings
Cons: none

The best hotel experience I have ever had was at one of the Amanresorts hotels - The Amandari in Bali, a few minutes from the artsy community of Ubud, located in the central part of Bali. We were living in Singapore at the time and took a vacation with...

Pros: Exotic, genuine culture. Friendly people. Low prices for just about everything.
Cons: Not many, but litter is one of them, along with the ever-present vendors.

There are so many wonderful things about Bali, but truly one of the most unique aspects of this small Indonesian island is that you can have whatever sort of vacation you want. Do you want a cheap trip, backpacking, wandering with no itinerary, staying ...

Pros: Friendly people, a plethora of bargains, wide range of shopping and food
Cons: Humid weather, sidewalks (especially in Kuta/Legian - poorly maintained), the crowded streets

Anyone who's heard the Redgum hit "I've Been To Bali Too" would get a fairly good idea what you can find in this little island in Indonesia. I just returned from my fourth visit and I can tell you that all of the things mentioned in the song that make...

Pros: Architecture is old world Balinese,
Cons: dated, bungalows need upgrading, pool was dirty, beach was unsavory

I had heard good things about this hotel from friends in Singapore. So, we made reservations for a few nights of our 5 day vacation with family. I was disappointed. So much so that we stayed one night and headed over to the Amandari near Ubud.
...

Pros: Cheap travel once you get there
Cons: Political Unrest in Indonesia

Bali, Indonesia is one of the places many people dream about seeing. However, when you live in the USA it is a very long trip to get there. The distance combined with the expense of getting there as well as the high costs at the exclusive resorts often...

Pros: Amon Kila, Amon Dari, Rainforests, Komodo Dragons,etc.
Cons: None

A few years ago I visited Bali in Indonesia. I expected it to be a third-world country like any other. I didn't expect there to be much there. The flight took over 14 hours, longer than a flight to Japan! A little kid was crying throughout the whole...
