We enjoyed our trip and all of our activities.
Our only complaint was the lack of details for some of the excursions—specifically the beach, temple, and fire dance day. Since we were traveling back on the boat, we were not prepared for the day's adventures and assumed we would be checking into the hotel to change before a day full of various activities. Our driver, Rushna made the trip extra special!!!!!

The SIMs card will not work on phones from the United States. Mine was lost in the process, which made my phone unusable, even on wifi, for the entire trip.

Le Yanandra Resort Bali
Uluwatu, Bali

The room was beautiful with a spacious deck and an outdoor bathroom. The pool and reading tub (not a hot tub) were the perfect place to rest and relax after a day of adventures. Plenty of beaches, restaurants, shopping, and a temple in a cave cliffside were all within walking distance. We got to enjoy an amazing local artist singing.

AC unit was not working, and the water shut off in the middle of my shower. Staff were friendly, the place was clean, and beach front pool & restaurant were amazing

It was amazing to be welcomed into the host's home. It provided great insight into the family dynamics within their culture. It was fun to experience their daily cooking habits. Starting at the market, prepping each ingredient, and preparing what felt like a feast. The staff made it flow smoothly without taking away cooking opportunities.

This was a private adventure. The guide swam with us, pointing out amazing corals, fish, a sea turtle, dolphins, and fought of a dangerous fish. He pulled the boat along with him so it was close to us. The equipment was clean and in good condition. The guide took lots of pictures for us and of us. He would dive down to distances we couldn't in order to get the perfect shot. We were picked up in the boat from our hotel.

Unclear of who was picking us up, mode of transportation, and then was difficult to get down to boat and back up after drop off.

The driver, Don, was very friendly, informative, and provided a perfect day. We loved that this was our first day, as we got so much information about Bali culture, lifestyles, and geography.
