Wow, just had a fabulous experience in Bali set up by Barbara at Back2Bali.  My wife and I spent 5 days at Villa Sunrise--right on the quiet Bali Sea, where the waves may be small but the snorkeling is wonderful.  We relaxed at the house where a great breakfast was served by Ketut, the housekeeper, who also kept the garden looking beautiful and lush and did our laundry.  He was very friendly and helpful when we had questions of any kind.

The house is so peaceful that you forget you are actually a part of the Tejakula fishing village and can see the fisherman go out in their boats twice a day.  Right next to the house is a small New Age Retreat & Spa, where we had our occasional lunch and nightly.  This was 5 days we will never forget!

On to Ubud for 5 days where my wife couldn't stop shopping and where we went to a number of spas for massages and various other treatments including an amazing Tibetan Sound Massage.  Ubud has many excellent restaurants and we loved our time there especially the fabulous ARMA Resort where we stayed.  If you go, try the wonderful salad and fresh food at Kafe and Bali Buddha, also the BBQ pork at Ibu Oka.

We can't recommend this experience highly enough and are now convincing our friends to go.

Thank you Barbara!
