Travel questions about Bali?

April 14, 2010 - Posted in Bali vacation packages

Hi. I plan to have a vacation in Bali in April. I have a couple of questions. I hope anyone with experience can help me.

1. Which area is good for peace, quiet and relaxation with a good, uncongested strip of beach with not too much partying?

2.What’s a reasonably priced resort to stay in? Hopefully with direct access to the beach.

3.How much should I expect to spend per day on food, transportation, sight seeing, a few drinks (budget tours). No shopping.

4. Any norms or no nos I should know about especially when it comes to clothing and etiquette?

5. Can I fly directly to Denpasar from an international inbound destination or do I have to pass by Jakarta?

6. How do I book flights from Jakarta to Denpasar if I’m not based in Indonesia? Online right although I want to get the best rates possible. How much is the average? Do resorts arrange airport transfers?

7. Do I really need the VOA?

I know these are a lot, sorry icon smile Travel questions about Bali? . Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks for the answers! Do you feedback on Jayakarta Bali? I think it’s in Legian.HCpackedHotelDealsBanner468x60 Travel questions about Bali?

1. Area for peace, quiet and relaxation and beach are two different locations. Ubud, up in the mountains, would be good place for a quiet relaxation and meditation. Nusa Dua, a high end resort area, is much quiter than others and has a bunch of hotels with direct access to the beach. Laguna, Westin and Nusa Dua Beach Hotel share one section of a (kinda) private beach.
2. Depends on your budget, length of stay and if package is available for your country of residence. Some resorts have special price for travellers from certain regions.
3. Taxis aren’t too expensive but if you use public transportation (didn’t really see much though), it should be negligible. Another option is to rent a scooter or a bicycle.
4. Not much, experience for yourself
5. Depends on where you are located. Check with as many airlines and travel agents as you can.
6. You can book tickets online. Air Asia is one of the budget airlines operating in that region.

Does any one know an easy way to convert Australian Dollars into Rupiah while in Bali?
