Vacation- Bali

[bozeman]

Anyone been to Bali? Looking at the Conrad as the resort to stay in. This is for our 25th anniversary. Would appreciate any feedback from those who have been. Thanks!

My wife and I went for our honeymoon back in 2017. Loved it, would absolutely go back. We stayed at Padama Resort Ubud, never went to the beach, spent our entire trip up there, which was more in the mountains. We did find if you go out on any 'tours' you need to be pretty forceful on your expectations, as the locals will just bring you to every tourist trap and gift shop they can if you let them. Once we found a good local, we just requested him every time we left for the remainder of the trip. Only thing that shocked me when I was there was the level of pollution, but I have heard they have worked hard to improve that since.

If you’re into fishing or sea life it isn’t the greatest destination anymore. Last time I went to Labuan Bajo and had several opportunities at land based Giant Trevally in 3 days DIY fishing with a rented scooter. Unreal views scootering around and not very busy. I hope to go back and get my revenge.
