In Bali and had a blast!
pity its my 50th this time :(
Anyway we had the 40th party's in the hotel in Kuta a year apart.
I supplied most of booze,duty free,Arak and what ever i could buy at local shops and arranged to run up a tab for soft drink/mixers/Bintang only at the hotel.Most others brought out their duty free as well.
we ended up inviting lots of people staying at the hotel and they both turned into very late parties around the pool with everyone having a great time (except staff who had to clean up early morning lol)
We did it at the Indah Beach in Kuta (no longer there) but if you pick a hotel that has a party atmosphere and is close to the clubs on Jl legian it can work out great as people can leave the party to go to the night spots and return quite easily!
40 is young so stay where the young ones stay!
Good luck and have a blast! i wouldn't have swapped my 40th in Bali for anything!
