Back Issue: Hard Rockin' Bali


Date:  June 04-06 2010
Destination:  Bali, Indonesia

We joined the post summer get-away of our Kaladkarin friends.  We originally wanted to avail the free and easy package (3D2N Hard Rock Bali) from Take Me To Travel.  The package inclusions are as follows:
R Two-way airfare (SIN-DPS-SIN) via Qatar Airways
R Return airport transfers
R 2 nights stay @ Hard Rock Hotel
R Welcome bucket (beer/softdrink)
R Head and Shoulder massage (30mins)
R 15% off F&B, spa treatment and all merchandises

Unfortunately, there were no available seats for the Qatar flight.  We decided to book our own flight and avail their Land Package instead (everything above, minus the plane transfers :P)

When we arrived, we headed first to the money exchanger in the airport.  The conversion from SGD to IDR is 1:6,400.  We literally were millionaires in Indonesia! :D Hard Rock Hotel (HRH) was a place to fall in love with.  Their halls were categorized as Blue, Jazz, Reggae, etc. :)

We tried to learn how to surf for IDR 350,000 (for two pax) and they will teach you until you can stand up on the waves on your own.  Unfortunately for her (pilyamaldita), she was only able to do a few-second successful attempt.  But that was not the case for him (jaykul), as he was able to conquer the wave on his 2nd attempt \m/

Since Kuta beach is the surfer's paradise, it was not really that fun to swim into.  So we all decided to head to the pool and we had the best pool chillax (pool bar, sand pool, waterfalls, water sports, etc.).  Of course, this travel will not be complete without a SHOP-TILL-YOU-DROP activity ;-)

Their local beer, BINTANG is something you shouldn't miss trying as well!

The getaway was short.  But we got to live like rockstars!  Hard Rock Bali is
