AlphaCanadian Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I'm going to head to bali for a short trip. Some of my friends have been and they told me not to even bother (over rated/trash everywhere/crowded/bad traffic/vulgar tourists/irritating poor people trying to sell you shit). It seems that they went to the wrong part of the Island!!!! I can look it up, but if anyone has recently been to a part of Bali that they recommend please let me know. I love beaches!!! Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Avoid Kuta beach. One of the worst places in S.E. Asia. The middle of the island is the nicest, but no beach. There is a lake though. I liked Ubud and Lovina (black sand beach), but I have not been to Bali for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyezhov Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) My kid is in Ubud now and loving it. No that ain't her in the mud lol Edited July 25, 2018 by Nyezhov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRich Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If you like the beaches go to Seminyak, it's a more upmarket area next to Kuta. So close to shops and bars. Ubud is a nice place and worth a visit but it is not a beach area, it is in the middle of the island. Be careful with people approaching you and offering drugs ... some of them are working with the Police and are looking for an easy mark to exploit for money ... but it can all go seriously wrong for the victim.

Thian Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If you set one step outside the resort the vendors will all jump on you....so find a large resort where you can stay in their property and enjoy all. We stayed in one with 5 pools, it was great and on the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
