Sofitel Seminyak Hotel @ Bali Xperience 2009
This Hotel is under the Accor Hotel group. So if you have the Accor member, you may catch some good deal. We were lucky back in 2009, the rate per night is about SGD$218. But now in 2010, the room rate has became nearly SGD$300 per night.
The hotel location is in Seminyak. Accessible by Cab. Taking a stroll out from the hotel along the main road will bring you to small shops selling interesting accessories and clothings. There are also cafe restaurants where you can have a good meal of western food or local balinese food.
One good thing is that this hotel has a beach just outside the 'back door'. There is a route leading from the swimming pool area to the Seminyak beach, which I personally preferred over the Kuta beach. 100 Times better than the Kuta beach. Quiet and exclusive... Look at the pictures below and you will understand.
View of the beach in the A.M (7am plus). While taking a stroll on the morning beach, you will get to see people jogging on the beach with their doggies. You can also see white horses taking their stroll on the beach with their owners. It is very peaceful in the morning and the view is spectacular.
View of the hotel and back-facing the ocean:
View of the beach in the afternoon/evening (4pm plus)
There are rental of the Sun-beds at very reasonable price. Indulge in the beautiful beach and the sun best for sun tanning.
View of the Pool:
This is the area just outside the Hotel's 'back door' leading to the beach:
The delux room: Spacious, with a balcony facing the garden
Check out the Toilet Ammenities!!! This is real cool! Hahah..
We will be going back again this June 2010. Will definitely enjoy the stay. Will update more on the bali hotel when we came back from Bali. We will also be checking out the Holiday Inn at Baruna. So stay Tuned......
Be Back Soon for Bali updates...
