Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Bali Summer Awaits! (And My Chaotic, Glorious Experience)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from "Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Bali Summer Awaits!" and let me tell you: it was a trip. Forget perfectly curated Instagram feeds, I'm about to give you the real, messy, glorious truth.
First things first: Accessibility. Now, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I am a klutz who sometimes trips over air. So the thought of navigating unfamiliar places made me nervous. This place? Surprisingly good! They've got elevators (thank the gods!), and I saw stuff marked for disabled guests, though I didn't personally need them. I'm talking about the Facilities for disabled guests themselves. It felt like they generally thought about people's needs, which is a huge plus. More and more hotels should think this way.
My Sanctuary: The Room
Okay, let’s talk rooms. Because, really, this is where you spend the most time, isn’t it? I snagged a Non-smoking room (duh!) and, honestly, it was HUGE. Like, seriously, a high floor with a view that made my jaw drop. They have Air conditioning (essential!), a desk where I could pretend to work (I didn’t, let’s be real), and a seriously comfortable bed with extra-long that just swallowed me whole. The blackout curtains were my best friend, especially after a few too many Bintangs at the poolside bar (more on that later…).
There was a mini-bar (tempting!), a refrigerator (for sneaky snacks!), and the free Wi-Fi? Amazing. Okay, so the Internet access was reliable. They're offering Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And the Internet [LAN] option. It's a bit different and maybe for tech heads. But I'm not one of them. I like the Wi-Fi [free], and it’s available right in all rooms.
The Bathroom was a win, too. Bathtub? Check. Separate shower/bathtub? Check. Fluffy bathrobes and slippers? Double check! I even had a mirror, a scale to reluctantly weigh myself (guilty!), and a whole host of toiletries. They even had extra towels! I'm also a big fan of a good shower, and this one was great. The water pressure was PERFECT.
The Little Things (That Made a Big Difference)
Okay, so, you know those little things that make a hotel experience special? They nailed it. The daily housekeeping was impeccable. Seriously, my room was tidied up like an army of tiny fairies had come through. There was a complimentary tea and coffee/tea maker, which was perfect for a morning pick-me-up. And, get this, the socket near the bed? Genius! Now I could actually charge my phone in bed without doing some serious contortion. It's those little things that really matter.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Rollercoaster!
Alright, let's get to the good stuff: food and booze.
Breakfast Buffet: So, the breakfast [buffet] was an utter delight. An Asian breakfast option. The Western breakfast also had a lot of options. I mean, where else can you get a plate of fresh fruit, pancakes, and crispy bacon all in one sitting? Amazing.
Poolside Bar: This is where I spent approximately 60% of my waking hours. The poolside bar was a lifesaver. The Happy hour was the stuff of legends. Think ridiculously cheap cocktails and a view that'll knock your socks off. I may have developed a slight addiction to their Mango Daiquiris. They had a Pool with view as well!
Restaurants: The restaurants were pretty decent. They had a vegetarian restaurant and an array of Asian cuisine in restaurant, and Western cuisine in restaurant. It was all pretty good though, but no one was quite in the same league as the poolside bar.
Room Service (24-hour): I'm a sucker for room service [24-hour]. Especially after a long day of… well, relaxing. The menu was extensive. I indulged. No regrets. I remember one specifically, I took the Bottle of water and felt like I was in heaven.
Safety & Cleanliness: Did I Feel Safe?
Look, after the last few years, safety is a HUGE concern. Did I feel safe there? Absolutely.
- Cleaning and Safety: First off, the place genuinely looked clean. Clean, like, gleam-y clean. They use Anti-viral cleaning products, which is reassuring. I saw staff constantly disinfecting things. They have Daily disinfection in common areas. The staff are Staff trained in safety protocol.
- Food Safety: I felt confident dining. They have a Safe dining setup. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, and even individually-wrapped food options.
Things to Do (Or Not Do, Depending on Your Mood)
So, you're in Bali. You're going to want to do things, right? Or maybe do nothing at all? Well, this place caters to both.
Relaxation Central: The Spa was a must-visit. I booked a Massage (bliss!), and nearly slipped into a coma. They even had a Body scrub and a Body wrap (I opted out, I'm not sure I'm the spa type). There was also a Sauna and a Steamroom.
Fitness Fanatics: If you're feeling energetic (unlike me), there's a Fitness center and a Gym/fitness.
Pool Party: Okay, the Swimming pool was great. And there's a Swimming pool [outdoor], of course.
A Few Quirks and Imperfections (Because Nothing's Perfect)
Okay, let's get real. There were a few minor hiccups, but nothing that wrecked my vacation.
- The Lighting: At times, the lighting in the room felt a little dim. But honestly, it's Bali. Who spends much time indoors anyway?
- The Mosquitoes: Bali is Bali. I encountered a few mosquitos. They had nothing on my enthusiasm. Pack the bug spray!
The Verdict: Should You Book It? A Heck Yes!
Listen, I'm not one for hyperbole. But "Escape to Paradise" genuinely lived up to its name. This place is a dream! It's safe, clean, comfortable, and has enough amenities to keep you entertained (or blissfully bored) for days.
Here's My Honest Recommendation: If you are looking for a true paradise, this is the place to book!
Here's My Crazy Confession:
- I felt really safe and they had CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, and Security [24-hour].
- I saw the door man. He was really nice.
- Also, the hotel chain is the best.
- I felt like I was in a movie with the view.
- I could get all the facilities for disabled guests.
- I found all the things to do to relax.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this "itinerary" for my Bali Summer Hotel adventure is less a polished diamond and more a slightly-used, slightly-stained, but ultimately beloved seashell I found on the beach after a massive hangover. Let's be real, Bali in summer? Prepare for sticky humidity, questionable food choices, and moments of pure, unadulterated bliss that will make you forget your own name.
Bali Summer Hotel: A Messy, Beautiful, and Mostly Chaotic Journey (with apologies for the lack of perfection)
Day 1: Arrival – The Great Un-Packing and Immediate Existential Crisis
- Morning (8:00 AM Bali Time - which is, let's be honest, whenever you wake up after the flight): Arrive at Denpasar Airport (DPS). "Welcome to paradise!" they say. I felt like a slightly sweaty, slightly jet-lagged, and completely overwhelmed human being emerging from a sardine can (aka the plane). The visa process? A blur. Did I fill out the right forms? Did I even remember to pack toothpaste? (Spoiler: No).
- Morning (9:00 AM): Taxi chaos. Negotiating prices felt like a bizarre, high-stakes game of charades. Eventually, I emerged victorious (or at least, I thought so) and made my way to the Bali Summer Hotel. The driver was definitely judging my travel bag. It was enormous.
- Morning (10:00 AM): Check-in. The lobby? Gorgeous. Instagram-worthy. Me? Still a sweaty, slightly-panicked mess. My room? Actually, surprisingly decent. Until… the mosquito. That little buzzing fiend. My blood is apparently its favorite Bali snack.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Un-packing. This is where the existential crisis begins. "Why did I bring that shirt? Does anyone even wear denim shorts anymore? And why is my suitcase the size of a small car?" This is going to take a while.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Poolside. Attempt at relaxation. Failed. The sun is brutal. The water is lukewarm. And that inflatable flamingo I thought was a good idea? Constantly deflating. But hey, at least the Bintang beer is cold.
- Evening (6:00 PM): Wandering. Found a Warung! (small, local restaurant). Ordered something that looked vaguely like “Nasi Goreng". Ate it. Delicious. Almost died of the heat. Worth it.
- Evening (8:00 PM): Attempted to watch the sunset. Clouds. But the sky was still pretty. Kinda.
- Evening (9:00 PM): Finally, the actual moment: the first night in the air con and the first night's sleep after the journey.
Day 2: Temples, Turtles, and the Terror of Transportation
- Morning (7:00 AM): Woke up, ready for the day! …Or so I told myself.
- Morning (8:00 AM): Tanah Lot Temple Visit: The plan was to be there for sunrise. Did I make it? Absolutely not. Slept through my alarm (again). But still, the temple was stunning. The waves crashing against the rocks were hypnotizing. Briefly considering trading in my life for a quiet life as a monk. Then remembered I hate mornings.
- Morning (10:00 AM): The Great Motorbike Adventure. Decided to rent a scooter. BIG MISTAKE. Seriously, I am not cut out for this. The traffic? A chaotic ballet of honking horns and near-death experiences. The helmet? Too tight. The entire endeavor? Terrifying. After 30 minutes, I returned it, tail between my legs. Feeling like a utter failure. It took me one hour of negotiations to cancel the contract.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch. Found a little cafe. Amazing views. Ate all the food. Regretted it at about 3:00 PM
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): Turtle Conservation – So much cuteness. Absolutely heartwarming. The baby turtles are adorable. Almost cried. (Seriously, my emotions are all over the place).
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner: Delicious seafood by the beach. The air was warm. The stars were out. The conversation was perfect. Life. Is. Good.
- Evening (9:00 PM): Back to the hotel: I decided to take a walk on the shore. I encountered a local playing guitar near the cliffs. The moment felt timeless.
Day 3: Surf, Sunburn, and So Many Mosquitos
- Morning (8:00 AM): Surfing lesson. The waves totally beat me up. A lot of swallowing salty water. Pretty sure I saw a fish. Got a sunburn. Embarrassed myself in front of everyone. Worth it.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Massage. Bliss. Pure, unadulterated, muscle-melting bliss. I think I might have actually fallen asleep on the table. The massage lady was very kind, even though she probably had to scrape me off the table.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Lounging in the pool. My skin now resembles a cooked lobster. Applied aloe vera until it dripped into my eyes. Cried.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Trying to eat some more food - I went back to the warung. I was very hungry after spending all day in the sun.
- Evening (8:00 PM): Mosquitoes attack. I think I am going to bring a mosquito net inside the room.
Day 4: The Great Escape - Ubud, Yoga, and the Monkey Forest
- Morning (8:00 AM): Finally a new adventure. I took a taxi to Ubud. The drive? Long. Beautiful.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Yoga time. Finding my inner peace… or at least attempting to balance my body on one leg without falling over. Found my center. Or maybe just got tired. Still, the vibes were immaculate. Nature and soul!
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Lunch at a warung in Ubud. The food and the people were great!
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): The Monkey Forest. This was amazing! Monkeys everywhere. Some are lovely and some are aggressive. They stole my water bottle. I was afraid they would attack me. I ran away.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner in Ubud. A vegetarian restaurant. The food was beautiful and divine as the scenery.
- Evening (9:00 PM): Back to Bali Summer Hotel. Ready for more adventures.
Day 5: Beach Day Bonanza
- Morning (8:00 AM): I chose to go to Kuta Beach. It was crazy. People, surfers, tourists.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): I went to a beach club. Really nice.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): I decided to shop. But I didn't like anything.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Farewell dinner. I ate some seafood. I was ready to go home.
Day 6: Departure (and the bittersweet realization that it's over)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Last breakfast. A huge smoothie.
- Morning (10:00 AM): Packed. Again.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Goodbye to the staff.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Airport. Praying the flight will be on time.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Home. And the memories!
Final Thoughts:
So, yeah. This itinerary isn't perfect. It’s messy, full of highs and lows, bad directions, and more than a few questionable decisions. But that's the beauty of it, isn't it? Bali isn't about perfection; it's about the experience. The food, the culture, the people, the chaos. I'll probably come back! (And hopefully, next time, I'll remember the mosquito repellent).
Pagadian's BEST Hotel? GV Hotel's Secret Revealed!
So, what *is* this thing anyway?
Ugh, good place to start, I guess? Honestly, depends on which day you ask me. Some days it feels like a glorious, chaotic symphony of... well, *stuff*. Other days, it's a screaming toddler demanding a nap. Let's say, for the sake of argument, it's a collection of frequently asked questions, answered by... well, me. And me, as a person, is *highly* prone to tangents. You've been warned.
How can I choose the right...?
Ah, the age-old question! The secret, the *holy grail* of choosing things... is there a right answer? Frankly? No. Depends on what you need, what your gut says, and how much coffee you’ve had. I learned the HARD way, once. I was trying to buy a new... *thing*... (you'll have to provide the thing, I hate generic questions), and researched for weeks. Comparison charts, reviews, the whole shebang. Finally, I picked one, convinced it was *the one*. Turns out, the thingy was an absolute disaster. A colossal waste of money. Now, I try to listen to my gut more than the internet. Sometimes, it's wrong. But at least it's *my* wrong, you know?
What if I mess up...?
Oh honey, you *will* mess up. Guaranteed. Expect it. Embrace it. It's part of the whole ridiculous human adventure. Look, I've messed up *so many* times, I should probably get a trophy. One time, I accidentally deleted my entire... um... my entire collection of... stuff. Just gone. Poof! Vaporized!. I thought the world was ending. I did the whole ugly cry thing, the "why me?" routine, you know the drill. Then? I started over. It sucked, obviously. But I learned a valuable lesson: Stuff comes and goes. You're still here. You'll survive. You might even learn something in the process. So, if you mess up? Big deal. Learn from it, dust yourself off, and try again. And maybe, just maybe, back things up this time.
What should I *really* be looking for, deep down?
Okay, this is getting all philosophical, and I'm not sure I'm qualified. Deep down? Honestly, I think you should be looking for something that (again, depends on *what we're talking about!*) *fits you*. Not the perfect thing. The thing that feels... right. And that's so subjective it's almost painful. Okay, I'll give you an example. I spent forever trying to find the perfect... jacket. A leather jacket! *Finally* found one. Expensive as hell, but *perfect*, right? Wrong! It was too stiff. Not comfortable. It was MEANT to be a statement! I wanted to be cool! What I really wanted? To be cozy. It was a lesson in listening to yourself, and your own needs -- and not what you THINK you're supposed to want.
How do you deal with...?
Okay, the "how do you deal with" questions always make me want to hide under the covers. It all depends on WHAT we're "dealing" with – like, what are we on about here? If we're talking about difficult people... well, I've developed a few strategies, none of which are particularly graceful. It involves a lot of deep breaths, a healthy dose of sarcasm, and the occasional silent scream. I'm not proud. Okay, ONE time, I totally lost it and yelled at a *completely* unreasonable person, and yeah, they were stunned. It felt really good at the time! Should I have done it? Nope. Did I regret it? Maybe a little, But they deserved it. Okay, maybe a lot. (See, messy!) So yeah, dealing with things... it's a work in progress. You'll have to be more specific. Sometimes, you eat chocolate. Sometimes, you drink wine. Sometimes, you just... give in and cry. All perfectly acceptable options, I must say.
Where do you find your motivation?
Motivation? Oh, she is a fickle beast! Mostly, it's finding a good reason to get out of bed. Some days, it's the thought of coffee. Pure, black, glorious coffee. Other days, it's the fear of failure (which is a very effective motivator, I’ll admit!). Honestly? Sometimes, it's pure stubbornness. Like, when I finally finished that project, even though I wanted to quit a hundred times? Pure stubbornness. It's a *fight* sometimes! It's a struggle. It’s like, I'm always trying to keep a tiny fire burning inside me. It’s a constant battle, but then I remember the tiny fire and keep going! I think the real answer is that it comes from those small victories. Like finishing this. It's a marathon. And sometimes, you just have to crawl to the finish line. At least you made it.
