Hotel Review: Klapa Resort Uluwatu – Deluxe Room

A little over halfway through our Indonesia trip we decided to lay low for a while and relax at a resort. This is partly because we stayed at a hostel in Labuan Bajo and really needed a few days of recovery time. Enter the Klapa Resort in Uluwatu Deluxe Room. Located in West Uluwatu, the Klapa Resort is situated in the New Kuta Golf Course development. This means it’s about 2 km just…

Hotel Review: Lucky’s Bar & Cottages Gili Air

If you have ever have been to Bali, you have probably heard about three islands not too far away, where many people go for a few days.

The first time we stayed at the expensive Westin Nusa Dua and didn’t really get the experience and emotions everyone talked about, so this time we decided to stay in relatively cheap places (compare to Klapa Resort in Uluwatu) – at the Pondok…

Cody decided to book The Crowne Plaza Doha West Bay, which ended up costing us $27.50 We arrived at 6 am in Doha, tired and exhausted. Of course, we wanted to check…
