An added advantage is that this is off the main tourist map, and therefore good accommodation is cheap. The Grand Bali Beach proved to be an excellent choice. The Grand has extensive grounds with three swimming pools, several restaurants and very good facilities. Accommodation is in either garden wing rooms or in the tower complex. The hotel is right on the beach, and has wonderful sea views.
Service is impeccable.
The Island - Nature and Culture Bali is truly blessed in the nature department. Lots of sunshine, lots of rainfall, fertile volcanic soil. The result is an island with much worth exploring. There are active volcanoes, lakes, hot springs, waterfalls and botanic gardens. There is also Balinese Hinduism - ceremonial, vibrant, very strong in art, crafts and dance.
