Rabies

We are travelling with children and it has been suggested they should have the vacination, really not sure what to do for the best?

Rabies

The Australian Travel Health Authorities have recently released a statement that it not considered neccessary for anyone to have the rabies shots prior to travelling to Bali. In their opinion, the shots that you can get AFTER (or if) you get bitten have proved to have very close to the same success rates as the preventative shots.

And really are your children going to be handling strange animals when you are not present?

nearly there

Just 19 more sleeps then 17 days in Bali. How cool is that?

nearly there

Lucky lucky you! 19 sleeps for you %26amp; 19 WEEKS to go for me. Can you fit me in your suitcase...I won%26#39;t take up much room honest!!

nearly there

10 more sleeps for me then only 10 days in Bali.

I%26#39;m arriving on the 11.4, that must be about 19 days as well....

As I%26#39;ve just got back, the guys at work wrote this in my whiteboard ';395 days to Bali';. How cruel! :)

15 days :)

Tegal Sari or GreenField

Hi,

Need some opinions here.

We will be going to Bali in May and there will be 8 of us.

Currently we have shortlisted these 2 hotels in Ubud.

Tegal Sari n Greenfield. Both also have great reviews from all..

Which one is better? If there are anyone of you who stayed at both of the hotels before, maybe can share your experiences here.

Thanks :)

Tegal Sari or GreenField

I doubt you will get vacancy at Tegal Sari during May. I booked there for April, 4 months back and they have to move me 3 times during my stay. Before shortlisting to 1 Id suggest you email them to see if you can get a room.

Tegal Sari or GreenField

They are both really lovely and you will be happy with either. Same views, great rooms, nice staff.

Hi princessturbo,

i hv checked with both hotels. they have rooms available.

that%26#39;s the reason why i am asking for opinions before i proceed with the booking :)

Any Problem bringing your own beer to Bintan

Hear price of beer at the resorts are expensive. Was thinking of bringing a couple of 6 packs over. Do customs check going in?

Any Problem bringing your own beer to Bintan

I think if you buy over is not a problem but bring back should have a problem.

Any Problem bringing your own beer to Bintan

Your duty free limit is 1 litre of alcohol which is 3 cans/bottles of beer, 1 bottle of wine or 1 litre of spirits. They xray all baggage, not sure if they check alochol but a pretty strict.

Advice on villa accom with a baby - anyone know Alu Bali?

Hi there,

We are going to Bali in May with our 1 year old. I%26#39;ve been to Bali 4 times in the 90s but havent been in the past decade.

We want to stay in a villa as this seems to be the easiest option with a baby as it%26#39;s very self contained (we want a kitchen).

Initially I looked at Alu Bali as this is reasonably priced for a villa and it comes recommended however there are no recent forums about it apart from mention of a nightclub next door. I really want to know if this is operating as it would be very noisy for a sleeping baby.

I also wanted to stay at Villa Bali Asri but is booked out.

I%26#39;ve looked at:

Le Jardin (but its looks more like a hotel - am i right? they dont have kitchens)

Kembali

Villa Kipas

Samaya

Any tips particularly from people who have stayed at Alu Bali recently.

Thanks

Has anyone stayed at the viila gils on the east coast

web page www.eastbalivilla.com cant seem to find any review == hoping someone can help.

villa

hey pete, just wondering did you end up staying at villa gils? I%26#39;m interested too, and..also can%26#39;t find reviews on this place..

villa

Hello, I realise that this is a little late, however, while searching Trip advisor I read your comment. My family and I stayed at Vila Gils. I am hesitant to give my feedback, because we would like to keep as our little secret, however, the establishment puts all profits to a good cause in East Bali, childrens poverty.

Vila Gils is only one of the Villas owned by this Lady, she has 3 seperate Villas now. They are all different but all so delightful in there own way. If you are still looking for feedback, please advise.
