It's like the best parts of a roast dinner!
You get a whole chicken for 70k IDR - well worth it!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31023 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31022 The surf guides and instructors have been surfing the various places in Bali for years and years so you get to surf the best place each day.
The accommodation was half-board which included a proper breakfast (not just cereal and toast) and some amazing traditional Balinese inspired lunches.
The camp was very laid back yet extremely well-run so a perfect place to both relax and ensure that you get the most out of your time there.
The staff were all very friendly and competent, all the way from the instructors to the kitchen staff and I'll definitely be visiting again in the future.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31022 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30849 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30849 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30740 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30740 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30500 If you are bit afraid to try any of the slides just take the “lazy river” where you can float around the park. Also you could rent a little hut for you and your family.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30500 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30414 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30414 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28470 They offer beautiful rooms, which are fairly cheap (50 Euro per night per room), a swimming pool with natural spring water, two meditation spots in the jungle and a huge open-air lounge and dining area.
It is very quiet and peaceful, the ideal place to relax. Meals are organic, prepared from their own organic produce. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Excursions and tours are offered.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28470 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27851 It's three minutes from the centre of the action and yet it's a tranquil oasis even on party nights. I don't know how they avoid getting all the noise but they do and it's brilliant.
By the way there are no cars, motorbikes or dogs on this island. There are mosques but I found it easy to tune them out.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27851 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27850 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27850 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27570 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27570 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27370 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27370 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26297 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26297 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25908 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25908 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24981 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24981 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24403 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24403 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21142 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21142 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20982 But the last time I went, I rented a villa and now I can't believe I have never done it before.
We enjoyed the kindness and the great cooking of the staff of the villa and most of all the privacy. We stayed at the Shanti Lodge and immediately loved the property for its great terrace for watching sunsets.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20982 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20060 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20060
