Got back from paradise on Thursday night after an amazing 2 weeks there.
We stayed at the wonderful Melasti Beach Resort in Legian, great location, no complaints here, had a suite cottage, bathrooms are a little bit old but good enough , could hear the beach at night, short walk to the pool and the beach.Breakfast was typical buffet, got a bit sick of it everyday so went out for breakfast sometimes.Pool was lovely not many pool beds though, staff were fantastic couldnt have been more helpful.
Restaurants that we ate at, our favorite one was Moo Moos on Melasti street,ate here a few times, very clean staff were amazing. Bali Bagus on Padma Utara had brekky here a couple of times and lunch they do the best milkshakes. Mozzarellas on Padma St little more expensive then other restaurants that we ate at but still very nice had to book a table gets quite busy, Kafe Batan Waru opposite waterbom park nice little place and cheap, Railway restaurant next to sling shot on Jln kartika plaza huge restaurant again a good meal and it was clean, Uncle norms on Melasti st only a small restaurant, more good food and good staff that keep the kids amused with card tricks etc,Indo national what can I say more good food, clean, aussie owned, the Stadium just stopped for a snack but would have loved a evening meal here if the snack was anything to go on, amazing presentation of a club sandwich and the tastiest clubby I had in Bali, daughter had wedges they were pretty tasty to, Tekor on the beach in Legian very busy here wouldnt relly eat here again didnt enjoy also wouldnt eat at legian snacks again on Padma utara hubby and daughter had tbone which was like stewed steak, spent the day at Sanur and had lunch at Bennos feet in the sand while eating amazing ! On our last night we ordered home delivery pizza from Sarpinos and watched the sunset go down awesome pizza and awesome sunset!!
Tours we done; interaction with dolphin this was the highlight of the holiday what beautiful animals and so well trained and well looked after. Safari Park was a great day we done the elephant ride I wouldnt do this again didnt like the way they hit them with the hooks! we done the leopard tour which included lunch at the Uma restaurant not a big choice of lunch, Bali Hai cruise another fun day was had by all many banana boat rides, tour over to Lembongan island, semi submersible coral viewer and the buffet lunch was really good. The boys went white water rafting and had a blast while the girls done shopping shopping shopping. Waterbom park was another great day but came out with a sore throat from all the screaming doing the superbowl and boomerang, didnt do the climax a bit to extreme for me but the boys did and loved it, lazy river is just amazing and so were the toilets here I think the cleanest toilets in Bali. Spent a few hours at the orphanage playing with the kids, they gave us a tour of the orphanage, beautiful kids, took with us bags of clothes, toys and books also gave a donation of money.I went to the bali dog home and dropped off some bags of clothes for there op shop and also gave a donation of money, these people are doing a great job with the dogs.
