Another Bali holiday.

We got a great price on Jetstar. Perth to Denpasar for four of us for under $800. Because of the cheap fare we decided to splurge on the hotel. We stayed at the Stones Legian

What a fantastic hotel this was. The great service started early. On checking we learned we got upgraded to a suite. The kids were in the room next door – in a standard room (haha suckers).

The suite was luxurious.

 

The Stones was recommended to us by our good friends, Amy and Conrad. They arrived the day after us, but were staying for 2 extra days. They booked a poolside room that came with a private pool. This was ideal for their two year old daughter Jamie. They were a little disappointed in the room because it didn’t have a separate sitting room, as our room did. They quickly got over that – after all they were in Bali. Enjoy it.

The pool at the stones was nice and large,

We went out for dinner with Amy  and Conrad a couple of times – as always it was a lot of fun and lots of laughs.

Dinner at the Kitchenette

The only negative for us at the Stones was the breakfast. We didn’t get breakfast included in our booking, so we had to pay for it separately.  It was a comprehensive buffet and we stuffed ourselves – but at $25++ it wasn’t cheap. We only had it once. There were plenty of good (and cheaper) options outside the hotel.

This holiday was all about relaxation. We have all been stressed lately for various reasons, and this was a chance to forget about life for a while and indulge in some serious eating, drinking and laying around. Mission accomplished!

I set myself a goal – if there was chicken curry on the menu, I would order it. Check out my reviews on the Chicken Curries.
