Stayed at Melasti Beach Bungalows - Bali, Indonesia.
|
Just be careful if you visit uluwatu temple - the monkeys are very wild and nasty. He grabed my glasses and ran.

Stayed at Novotel Solo - Solo, Indonesia.
|
Although there were only a handful of stalls open, enjoyed the antique market. The train to Yogya is quick (a little over an hour), inexpensive (Rp 5,000) and convenient.

Stayed at Ibis Hotel Slipi - Jakarta, Indonesia.
|
It would be much better if you have somebody you know in Jakarta. This place is more for working than for leisure. But I am sure you will get a lot of excitement.

Stayed at Kuta Paradiso Hotel - Bali, Indonesia.
|
I come to Bali for business so normally don't have time to go sight seeing. Some good places to eat is Warung Made near Kuta square, most little cafes around are alway great. Unless you have breakfast package with the hotel you stay, it is good to get breakfast outside the hotel which is so much cheaper and good (less selection). For $2 you could get nice egg platter with fruit and toast coffee/tea. Getting around is quite easy by foot or taxi. Just make sure they use the meter.

Stayed at Keraton Jimbaran Resort - Bali, Indonesia.
|
Traveled with 2 children (8 and 10). They both loved the Kecak and fire dance at the monkey temple- Pura Luhur Ulu Watu. The Barong dance was another favorite. Check out the kite flyers, I have never seen larger kites! Dinner on the beach in Jimbaran should not be missed. Freshest seafood grilled and served to your beach table.

Stayed at Puri Dalem Hotel (BSB) - Bali, Indonesia.
|
We visited Ubud, Gunung Batur, Paddy Fields, Monkey Sanctuary, Legian and Nusa Dua. Recommended restaurants - Ubud Dirty Duck and Indus. Tip for taking long distance taxi agree the price before getting in and whether this is per person. We agreed a rate for Sanur to Ubud only for the driver to stop after a mile and say that this was for one person only.
Trip up the Volcano, Gunung Batur. We were led to believe that this can be only done with an official guide. Well worthwhile but cost is Rp300,000 per person.
Middle range restaurants are excellent value in Bali as long as you do not expect to drink wine.
It costs Rp 100,000 Passenger Service to exit Bali from the airport.

Stayed at Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta - Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
|
Yoyakarta is a highly underrated tourist destination for anyone hungry for Asian culture. World class temples close and the surrounding landscapes with their volcanos and high plateaus give a good scenery. The handicraft factories and shops are well worth a visit and very cheap compared to other Asian areas.

Stayed at Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta - Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
|
Places to visit are obviously Borobudur Temple (40km) and Prambanan (17km). It is better to have a guided tour (not vey expansive-compared with the entrance fee- and very interesting).
Restaurant : You have to try the newly opened Mlengy: the Chef is the former chef of the Hyatt Regency & the ambiance is very romantic (within 5min you'll forget the noise of the cars).

Stayed at Wana Villas & Beach Resort - Bali, Indonesia.
|
Not many tourists around at Canggu! We had the wide beach almost for ourselves. Bathing in the sea is only possible if the waves are not too high.

Stayed at Grand Balisani Suites - Bali, Indonesia.
|
Near Grand Balisani Suites you can find some restaurants that we would like to recommend. One is La Luciola (really good italian food well located in Legian Beach and well served. Excellent!). The other is called Hu'u (modern outdoor restaurant, very good international cuisine and well served. Excellent also!).
