Bali - Santika Beach Resort

This is where we stayed for the first couple of nights. It is a four star resort, so not as posh as the others you have seen. What is great about Bali is that even the four star resorts can be very nice. The landscaping is always meticulously maintained, and the quality of finishing is not comprised. All in all you get a pretty good experience for an affordable price.

The best thing about Santika Beach Resort is the cafe above the main lobby. This is where they serve breakfast in the morning, and with the sun streaming in it is quite magical - letting you forget about the real world for a moment.
