Today we transferred from Cendana Hotel Ubud to Royal Beach hotel Seminyak
Journey took about 90 minutes, traffic very fierce, we took a little longer as we had a quick stop to buy some vanilla and saffron at Lumbing Sarri in Ubud
Royal Beach was formerly The Sofitel, very impressive, a sprawling resort on 4 hectares with direct ocean frontage and beautifully designed and manicured gardens and ponds
Our delux room is spacious , tastefully fitted out and right beside the garden pool. The large main pool is right on the beach, fabulous views
5 restaurants, bars, shops make getting lost very easy for 2 ladies with poor senses of direction
We are very happy with our choice here
An afternoon shuttle takes us to Seminyak Square, a kind of cross between Double Bay / Church st Brighton and Toorak rd, for those who know those locations
Very pricey merchandise , My only purchase being a purple pair of new style slip on ballet style crocs , love them.
Cocktails on the beach marvelling at the pretty sunset, a short walk next door to Gado Gado for dinner. Thanks for Trip Advisor posters telling us about this restaurant
We loved the setting and our meal was delicious.
Home to watch an Italian movie, my daughter had bought this afternoon
A lovely first day in Seminyak
