Great video. I stayed at The Pita Maha in Ubud and The Anantara in Seminyak. Can’t wait to go back

[michellehuynh]

Hello. Thanks for the helpful video!! Quick question for ya, have you stayed at Bisma Eight Ubud? This place looks interesting and if you stayed there, i’d be really interested in hearing your thoughts on it. Thank you

[JohnDoe-hyrj]

Man says some of the best are the most affordable, then posts all the most expensive 5 star ones.

[kelwinli]

[SalcinAmet]

im going to bali soon this year plus, im FROM bali bro!

[jacksun]

Thank you for sharing.
Im planning to go to Bali in Apr and to propose my gf. Now im choosing between Alila uluwatu or Soori. I think im prefer Alila now but one thing im worried about is the place gonna be too crowded. Any advice between this two? Like dinner or something.
Thank you

[orgentalliu]

Hi what do you think about K club ubud Kanva tent .Have you ever visited it

[letsplaysmithumor]

One question which is still in my mind: How do you go to eat, if you are in the middle of the isle (f.e. in tree houses)? In the picute you cant see any other villages or whatever. So moving around with a vehicle seems difficult. Are there still villages, which arent filmed ordo the owners provide something?

[rickyd]

Thanks for the video, any thoughts on which of these resorts is most family friendly? Thanks!

[MarkBates]

I loved the como uma but your wrong on price not cheap

[kevinbrock]

Which two stays didn't make your list?

[QJHKI]

Amankila is last? Damn, that was the most beautiful resort I've been to lol. Well, it is pricey though. I've heard a lot from the forum about acapella but seeing this video, the clips from Bali hanging garden seems more appealing. I will watch your acapella and Bali hanging garden videos.

[katalinkardos]

May I ask abbout the bugs ???.Or mice?

[gracielalachmayer]

best maybe to say these are 5 star resorts costing a minimum of 300 euros a night so people do not have to waste time. Happy for you that you think 300 euros/night is Justa little arrogant!
