A trip to The Rock Bar at Ayana Resort was honestly amazing, but it was so much pain in the ass to wait for the queue.....

When I check on the website, "Sunset is the busiest time and there is often a queue at the inclinator; in-house guests of AYANA enjoy VIP service with priority access to skip the queue. Night-time is just as magical but in a more intimate, sensual way, with twinkling stars above, spot-lit ocean and cooler night air. A dress code applies, requiring smart attire. No singlets or boardshorts, and no alcohol-branded attire are permitted"

----> Statement was correct !!! U have to be there earlier, however, although u have to queue up, guest of the resort is the management priority which actually slow down our journey down to this bar. I remembered the other day when I was there, we are not allowed to use the stairs due to there was a wedding ceremony there, so yea, slow down our god damn journey!!!

To be honest, all the whining and grumle of your thought gone looking at the amazing scenery and sunset!
No entrance fees, but of course you have to sit down and buy drink, what I love the most is the hospitality, each table have its own waiter/waitress. Poor internet connection when I'm there tho. Check out on those pictures to recaps my journeys!

Tips to Ayana Resort : Hire a tour guide to drive u up to the resort, be there early ! It opens at 4pm but do queue up earlier, enjoy the sunset with your Bintang Beers and nice music :) A MUST THING TO DO IF U ARE IN BALI :)

Dec 2011, it was the most memorable experience ever to finally conquer The Island Of God (Bali) & aslo Gili Trawangan (Lombok) with my best friend, Marion. What could I expect from Bali? Bali honestly was a great destination that really open my eyes, I could not express that how friendly is Balinese, polite & humble. Aside from that, The food was really nice. We board with Airasia to Denpasar (known as Bali) and flight was pretty fine for us.

Me and my friend, especially Marion has put 110% efforts in building the itinerary on the places to visit, I was so thankful to have a travel buddy like her. How we actually travel Bali itself whole day is by hiring a tour guide, it was pretty cheap and price could be around RM100-RM120 per day for 8 hours which could be split with travelers. That is the best way to see Bali.
NEVER EVER BUY A VOUCHER if you do not want to travel with strangers which honestly looks so BORING :P

We actually split our days to few important places : Firstly we landed in Kuta itself, spend a night there, then Ubud (was spectacular with the paddy field which is so stunning, then back to Kuta and headed to Gili trawangan and back to Kuta. Simple reason why we pick Kuta on weekend because I myself would like to experience the nightlife which everyone talks about. Ubud was truly amazing, we got a pretty good massage there which is around less than RM100 that includes the mandi lulur and massage and scrub. Feel so amazing. We also headed to the temples there, keep in mind that there is a entrance fees since it's a touristic area. Heading to the temple taught me a lot of lessons about life and Balinese people. Kuta was indeed amazing !!! But it was so super busy with vehicles and bikes here and there. traffics !!!

Tips : Good place to go shopping is at Sukawati, do not ever go to Ubud for shoppings ! It's so expensive :)

Heading to Gili Islands was a nice experience, taking boat ride which cost around RM300 Malaysia was worth it (2 ways return ticket) What you could expect from is no traffics, no cars, no bikes ! Best beach rated at the South East Asia ! :)

Thought of drinking the Coffee Luwak? Most expensive coffee in the world? But it's only IDR50,000 in Indonesia :) BUCKETLIST of tasting this coffee made of animal droppings DONE! :)

Heading to the temples in Bali was a great experiences, we headed to Uluwatu, Tanah Lot & Lake Bratan, not to mention that sunset dinner at Jimbaran was the highlight as well....

Gili Trawangan, some pics of it :)
