Arrived back last tuesday, after yet another great time in "the Isle of Smiles".
Was our 36th trip over 10yrs,to our second home.We flew Garuda on the 15th Jan, good flight(which was full) first Off the plane, no hassles through customs, friend Jimmy was waiting with esky of bintangs yeh! was at the Febris within ten mins, and a very warm welcome our 3rd time stay there.room was not ready , so off we went with Jimmy to the Bali Bagia, where Jimmy works, met up with the staff once again.
Was a great welcome, even a rat ugh! came dashing out of the toilet to greet me i just screamed and the poor rat just spun around in circles in all the years going there , never seen a rat there before, and afraid i am just petrified of rats.
Back at Febris, our luggage already in room ( second floor, as we prefer, more privacy.quick change and in there lovely big pool to cool down.Rooms are big, full size empty fridge, spotlessly clean WHITE sheets with lovely flower petals decorating the bed and white towels.
The massage and spa excellent, you stay 7days get free foot reflexology, stay 10 nts get hot stone massage and reflexology 2 and half hrs.staff all excellent, and food good and cheap.
We stroll down st later to check out the new Bali Rani hotel and spa, (as it is almost next door to Febris, workmen still working, but the security guy gave us a tour of the hotel, very nice! big rooms , nice pool area, but unfortunately could not get any prices. was due to open beginning Feb.Next stop Discovery shopping mal, Wow! all new shops, on ground floor, where the supermarket was, marks and spencers, dorothy Perkins uk stores and lots of other great shops.
