We are gay and just returned from Bali. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton on Jimbaran Beach. It is a wonderful spot with cool breezes from the Indian Ocean. There we met 3 other gay men and saw several other gay couples.
The culture of Bali is far from supportive of gays but, like any place, there is a homosexual population.
We found the HULU cafe to be very TIRED and DIRTY. GOA 2001 offers more. Two bars, a sushi counter, a coffee bar, tables, good music, and a cyber cafe open until 2a. Never made it to BRUNA BEACH bar (live reggae) MAMAS (open until sunrise) or CAFE BOA which often has live jazz. There's plenty to see and do. Have a FABULOUS time!!!!
