Long overdue post, I know! We had our little honeymoon from 15-20 Nov 2010 and stayed in Seminyak.
Just 2 days before the trip (which was the day before the wedding), I decided there was no point waiting the whole day for a 9pm flight to Bali, since we already changed our 2 night stay in Hyatt to 1 night. So I called up Singapore Airlines to ask if I could switch to an earlier flight. HORRORS, I didn’t notice when I booked the fare online, that my ticket was ‘strictly’ no changes to flight timings. Even after I offered to top up the fare difference, the customer service officer refused to relent over the phone, just repeating over and over again that I have a special price ticket blah blah blah. In the end, I asked if it would help if I went to their Ion office and asked the people there, she just answered, ‘you could try.’ So… I rushed down to Ion and after some talking… talking… they very reluctantly allowed a change with a top up of around $550. The fare top up price was a shock to me, but I figured, ok, its my honeymoon, let’s just pay and enjoy the trip. They did waive the admin fees for me though.
So anyway, on the morning of 15 Nov, we got ourselves to the airport and on to the 9:25am flight. We landed at the Denpasar airport and were picked up by the staff of Ulin Villas. We chose this villa after a lot of research online and checking out tripadvisor reviews, which ranked this place #1. A tad pricey, but worth every buck!
They provided a complimentary mini-bar which was stocked with life-saving cold soft-drinks, beer, water etc. Replenished every day!
At night, their turn-down service included lighting up candles everywhere, along with mosquito incense.
We spent the day lazing around in the villa, enjoying the private pool. Heavenly! We finally ventured out in the evening to check out Ultimo, which was about 3 minutes walk from the villa.
Very yummy bread basket, due to the green glob of garlic butter. We could polish off 2 baskets just because of the butter.
The food was very reasonably priced and tasty.
Its very popular as well, have to go early to avoid queuing. Just blogging about it gives me cravings. Sigh, when will I get to have Ultimo again?
