The pool villas are vacation pure relaxation, comparisons the photos in the link above./ / a large bedroom, where behind the rear wall of the bed the 2 washbasin hide with seating areas, a cupboard with safe and a comfortable Corner Bath Tub. Through a sliding door you can also in the outdoor swimming pool. Separated here is the rain shower-byshower and the toilets area with satiniertem glass. The comfortable, not saggy double bed features a mosquito net. The walls are always glazed, but with blinds, the outside it is still the wall. The air conditioning can be good taxes and silent, the minibar is adequate and a kettle for coffee also available. Every day will furthermore the ice Containers filled. The flat screen TV we didn't used, but the iPod. Unfortunately (Apple and all manufacturers of electronic devices for Apple profit from these Nickeligkeiten but, as always, very good) the docking station is the old, larger iPod on, but not the new small. We therefore always during breakfast at the front desk at the laptop recharge./ / in the outdoor area are two adjustable wooden pool chairs with cushions, a coffee table and a sun screen. Moreover, there is also a covered seating area with light curtains, days bed for two persons and two chairs, as well as Ceiling Fan. The pool is if, then only little heated, but pleasant deep and with an elegant gray rock undressed. The frangipani-shrubs, with its flowers for the appropriate decoration. Furthermore there is a small Überlaufbecken with water fall--here you will probably be woken up in the morning from 08 AM // fun is guaranteed. However the controlling-took a little, to one herausbekommt, which the switch for which many outdoor and indoor light is expected. We stayed in two villas because of the tour in between -the light switch were completely different. // everything was very clean & tidy, only the humidity slightly twisted Wooden the option keep coming a bit. For evenings is definitely Autan recommended.

The restaurant is Kayana half open, comparisons the photos under the aforementioned link. The too many indonesian dinner with lots of fresh Ingredients was very delicious, but also, of course, much more expensive than in many restaurants. But one had his peace and really spoil // the. Breakfast was also great: there was a menu, from the you could put together individually inclusive special, what your heart desires, whether sharp Nasi goreng, pancakes, egg & Bacon, fresh fruit yoghurt, fresh Croissants, toast, tropical marmelade, freshly squeezed fruit juices, coffee (was a bit thin), Cappuccino or espresso./ / the food could you in the villa, the outdoor area was very comfortable.

The service at the front desk with mainly Young people was very polite and accommodating. Whether it is charging the iPods, the mini busses or the bag storage for the tour concerned. Villa and pool cleaning was good, however we had to be called twice, the pump of the pool was clogged, which was visible. Some lamps were in the garden broken, which is not exchanged were.

GENERAL: in September is there dry-Rain not at all, but more often cloudy sky./ / where you should go on the ground, there is everywhere large and sometimes Deep holes in the (not everywhere existing) sidewalks. In addition everywhere Leftovers from the many daily Sacrificial Offerings. The marketing of its many loud and stinky Mopeds is an experience-all drivers are absolutely balinesian-friendly and relaxed, give oneself but also no 10 centimeter lead, a gap or even the right of way. Accidents have observed. But we never // religion: there are an estimated 100 meters a all temple-private and community stamp. Very interesting, then it is a bit much. One has the impression, if you look closely at the temple and house plants, calendars, firm and rituals busy, that the life of the Balinese people very little self is intended. We have never experienced that in Asia./ / food: we have nowhere on the island of culinary flights of fancy experienced, but too much Nasi goreng and sate-skewers. With Thailand unfortunately no comparable and eating and drinking was in the average was also still twice as expensive. What a pity, since Bali due to the many climates and the fertile ground all fruit-, vegetablesand spice places to grow, as we pointed out in our tour could see. This was unfortunately not the way on the menus of restaurants. Italian restaurants were in available; it may be that, in the end, the EnglishAustralian Eating habits of the tourists the reason, who knows. The Japanese are usually in Japanese restaurants./ / trip: ubud is always a visit value. We had we have a small Artists in jungle presented in reality live there more than 350.000 people! The most important main streets with shops and restaurants are partly 3 kilometer long. But the location and the good infrastructure were a real plus. We had uS for one day a taxi and German speaking guide booked, everything worked without any problems. // tour: An absolute must! If you just sit in his island corner, you will learn the great Rest of never know. we had 4-a day trip with open VW- Kübelwagen and small bus booked. It went from Kuta to Blimbing (night in the mountains in the lodge ' Cempaka Belimbing '), Puputuan, visit the lakes at Tamblingan, banjar, lovina (night in beach hotel 'Puri bagus lovina' on the north coast), on Bintang to the volcanic Crater lake Batur Penelokan on to and back to the south coast on Rendang to manggis (night in a small village of the kids plant construction Manggis Puri). On the final day it was a very funny, but also strenuous Rafting tour on the river telaga Waja and the return to the hotel. All in all we were in a column with 6 Kübelwagen on the way, two people and drivers. We have also small Factories visited( for example Bricks & ceramics), but thank god everything without selling. Besides that, there was coffee plantations, hike by rice paddies, fruit forests and villages, temples, etc. everything with several German explanations by the guide Gusti. By open car for the first two days you of course all odors sights and sounds very closely experiences, quick Photo stops were always possible, but you have to definitely at a hats, protection from the sun and, where appropriate, a light scarf think! The hotels were all reasonable, the Cempaka the Lohse-travel guide on the green clover praised, what we couldn't understand. Location and view were great, but it is also very getting old the first island lodge in Bali. The hotel had in lovina comfortable small Villas, a great pool with a view of the sea, but could you at low tide and because of the rocks do not go swimming in the sea. The complex in manggis with 6 rooms was quaint in the middle of the village and very nicely furnished, but a few had a unmade bed and found a quicklebendige cockroach. Apart from this we had no complaints perceived.

The Kayana -like most properties-tube-like from the street to the rear there is in. Back part 12 deluxe villas (with small Plunge pool), as well as 11 2 double bedrooms and pool villas villas (this featuring real swimming pool), all with high straw roofs villas, fenced in of 2 m high wall and left or right of a long footpath, lined with frangipani-trees. Furthermore, there is the street a open Lobby, a restaurant with dark-Lap pool rock & beach chairs/sun screens, a open Library with internet connection and armcharis for the afternoon, tea, a very small fitness room (still under construction), as well as a SPAbuilding with 2 major treatment // for a correct. Swimming pool so you need a 'pool villa' -the descriptions in the catalogs of the remade tour operators but very confusing. The hotel Homepage. Http://www. Yana under impressive COM is a reliable 1:1 picture before taking. // the complex was very clean, constant were gardener and cleaning of the rooms the structure. Of the guests were too many couples, but old& nationality mixed( German, English/Australian, Japan.). Most stayed for longer than one week. We have in between a planning island tour made, but see below.

Arrival: we use for travel to Asia to the turntable Singapore, where you could always a few days stay plan. The only 2 years in constructed Marina Bay sands- hotel with the new shopping mall inclusive new museum is worth a visit. Apart from the non-stop-flight with a the best European Union Airlines world. And Singapore is within three hours after Bali. At the airport (Dollars for entry and departure tax plan in bar) at the money automat very good. The taxi was a buy one ticket to seminyak, it will be a taxi organized, which appearance hotel-withaddress and go there. Having regard to about 40 minutes (in South Bali is chaos!) to the Kayana. The change machine were very pushy, maybe sometimes the course better; in any event before warned, Vorzählen of euro notes that many of the hütchenspieler-method recalls, it should anytime again some seems missing. At our time the rate was about 1 euro to 10,000 $// location & beach: the location of the hotel-well, actually the only downside, if you beach vacation searches: the Kayana is located in the street Jalan Petitenget in the district of kerobokan, still Northern of seminyak (the last Northern the general competence and the foreign language competence of Kuta tourism zone), but a few hundred yards inland without direct access to the sea. To the ocean one on foot either, if you walk out of the hotel to the right and next long stichstraße again to the right the club 'Potato Head' entrance. By the way-and the architecture- great facility for an evening cocktail( however sometimes 10 euros per drinks or minimum consumption of 40 euros for the use the beds!). Or at the street 200 meters away is still (past the also great & expensive 'Hu's bar'), a temple right and on the parking and a bridge the beach could be reached. It takes about 15 minutes both. The third possibility is for offers the free hotel-mini bus in the driver or drivers get guests by prior arrangement to default to seminyak square( evenings lots of restaurants and shopping possibilities) or Bintang shopping center (near Jalan double six in legian) and to get all previously agreed times punctual. A prospos: the double Six, one of the first clubs in Bali, has end of September 2011 after a farewell party for your doors closed./ / the beach itself is clean, feast, from 10-100 meters wide (depending on the tide and ebb) and invites you to great walks on the beach a. To Kuta center we walked one and a half hours (also at the time of the sunset great), the double Six about 45 minutes, but also to the north is great hiking here we have a quaint fishing village and further behind a Felsentempel right on the water (currently renovations) discovered. The 'ECHO beach' (about one and a half hour) there is also a great quaint bar-restaurant with Aussi -surfers-atmosphere ( very good courts 5 euros, delicious drinks 2-for5 euros) located, what is offered for a rest. You can well with the taxi bring there leave. If you continue, you can theoretically to the famous temple tanah lot-but might be a really beautiful His way. It is important that such trips water and protection from the sun. In spite of the great the beach was to our time unfortunately not swim in the sea- everywhere were prohibition signs helicopters flew and from time to time the coast. Reason: a very strong current and partly up to 4 meters high waves on the west coast. On the other of course, an Eldorado for many Australians, which 3 hours after flying in Bali and during the day in one of the many groups and surfers-Schools evenings Kuta-center unsafe. For bathing are therefore rather in the southern Bali eastern coast (Nusa dua and sanur) or the north coast./ / Kuta: you can of course the taxi (5-6 euros) to Kuta bring. Highly recommended is the use of blue 'blue Bird taxis' (!)-name must be made evident, from the presentation be fooled! -, only prepared in accordance with the taximeter from and an assurance for the passengers./ / food & shopping: the major shopping centers, you can see well and once Kuta streets and backpacker-Streets to walk, is OK, but after fünfzigmal -billabong, rip curl and thirty forty quicksilver-shops, it was a bit boring. Legian and seminyak have more beautiful shops. The restaurants in Kuta are feast in the hand more simple Australian guests, often even greater families or groups. The restaurants located along seminyak square are beautiful, directly opposite the Kayana there are 2-3 nice and not expensive restaurants. Right next to the Kayana there is a small seven Eleven mini market, where you can get cheap drinks & Snacks, however you should always enough small Notes (1-for4 euros = 10,000-40,000 Rp.) have- sometimes also the need for taxis. Right in the mini market it is also an ATM, the however only large (50,000-100,000 $) notes on a budget. With ATM machines is too many one-and-a-half million. RP in (= 150 euros) Output end; in other this machine is higher.
