It's not long now until I'll be heading back to Bali. Since I got back from London at the beginning of July, I have been busy busy busy so this holiday could really not come soon enough. I'll once again be out there trying a couple of new hotels to share and (hopefully!) recommend to you.
In March, my parents and Canadian friends spent a night up in Candi Dasa and my mum came back absolutely in love with the area, despite their short stay. According to her, it's the new place to stay for affordable ocean-front accommodation- note I say "ocean" not "beach" . Candi Dasa is located on the East side of Bali, about a 2 hours drive North of Sanur. It's known as being a sleepy and quaint area to stay; a great place to escape the tourist riff raff that you find in the areas of Kuta, Legian, Seminyak and Sanur. It's starting to gain popularity for that very reason, its great selection of hotels that are affordable but stunning and its reputation for good restaurants. This is where mum and I will be heading for our first 2 nights of our trip in October.
This is the Candi Beach Resort and Spa. Yes, it does very closely resemble paradise so I'm sure you can understand my excitement.
It's located a little ways out of the main area in Candi Dasa but given so many of the restaurants offer pick up, the location hasn't concerned us at all. And with a view like that, I doubt we're going to find much to complain about! Except for the fact that we've only got 2 short nights here and the more we dream about being at this gorgeous hotel, the more we think it is just not long enough. But there's always next time...
