In Reply to: Bali Hai resort-- any info on re opening posted by hools on Monday, 6. August 2007 at 14:33 Bali Time:

Hi all
Just returned from Bali yesterday in the middle of writing my JBR.
Answer to your question on the Bali Hai.
My husband and I went to have a look at the resort on our anniversary as we got married there last year ( yes I used to be under the name mooker for anyone who rememberes me).
We wanted to get a photo of us one year later standing in the same place.
The hotel is all closed of but we were talking to the security guard and when we explained why we wanted to go in he agreed to let us.
It was so dissapointing to see, the pool is still full but very dark green water. Gardens are all over grown. We entered from the beach way
where we got married it has weeds everywhere we could not believe how bad it has got in such a short time.
Anyway the answer to your question regarding reopening you will be glad to know the security guard told us they will be up and running again next month. There will be all new staff as all old staff were placed in other hotels. They have got a lot work to be done. The work on the beach is still going on around there building the new sea wall.
Many of the old beach sellers can still be found in the hotels either side of the Bali Hai.
We got the impression most of the business around the hotel and down the main street have all closed down due to Bali Hai closure.
Cant wait for the hotel to reopen as the work they have done so far is a great improvment.
Very quite around this area.
Hope this helps a bit
Julie
