Prepare yourselves.

Let's Dive In (Before I Need Another Massage):
The Room (SU45) - My Little Sanctuary…Or Was It?
Right, the room. Double Room. Garden View. Sounds idyllic, right? And initially, it was. Honestly, walking in, I went "Ooooh!". The air conditioning blasted a welcome hug of cool (appreciated, believe me), and the floor-to-ceiling windows showed off a lush, green, promising garden. (A little bird chirped merrily outside my window, I swear I'm not making that up, it made me feel so peaceful)
Available in All Rooms (and I Used Them ALL!): This is where the list starts getting long… and I'll try to break it up to make it less of a chore. Air conditioning? YES. Thank. God. Alarm clock? Surprisingly, yes. Did I use it? No. Thanks to the aforementioned chirping bird. Bathrobes? Oh yes, and they were fluffy. I may have worn one to breakfast. Don't judge. Bathroom phone? Okay, a bit unnecessary, but hey, why not? Bathtub? Gorgeous, and I definitely soaked a few times. Blackout curtains? Absolute lifesaver, perfect for a post-massage nap. Carpeting? Yes. Closet? Decent. Coffee/tea maker? The most important thing. Complimentary tea? Nice touch! Daily housekeeping? Excellent, and efficient. Desk? Used it for the bare minimum. Extra long bed? Woohoo! Free bottled water? Essential in this heat. Hair dryer? Saved my sanity. High floor? Yes, gave me a nice view. In-room safe box? Secure, but a bit fiddly. Interconnecting room(s) available? Didn't need it. Internet access – LAN? Didn't bother. Internet access – wireless? Absolutely. Ironing facilities? Yes. Laptop workspace? Yes, but I mostly watched movies. Linens? Clean and soft. Mini bar? Stocked, but pricey. Mirror? Multiple. Non-smoking? Definitely. On-demand movies? Good, but I was too busy exploring. Private bathroom? Of course. Reading light? Great for those late-night novels. Refrigerator? Handy for the water and the occasional guilty-pleasure leftover. Safety/security feature? Yes. Satellite/cable channels? TV was pretty much unnecessary when you're in Bali and the view is pretty. Scale? …I might have avoided that one… Seating area? Comfy. Separate shower/bathtub? Luxurious. Shower? Good water pressure. Slippers? So comfy. Smoke detector? Present. Socket near the bed? Essential for phone charging. Sofa? Comfy, but too hot in the heat. Soundproofing? Pretty good. Telephone? Used it to order room service. Toiletries? Decent. Towels? Plenty. Umbrella? Didn't need it. Visual alarm? Yes (haven't tested.) Wake-up service? Never used it (again, bird). Wi-Fi [free]? Praise be. Window that opens? Yes.
Additional Toilet? Nope. Not in my room.
This Room was a bit on the Small Side. But the view compensated.
Room Decorations: Simple, tasteful – Bali-esque. Not too much clutter.
The Negative: I found myself running to the spa for a cooling experience from the heat. The room was a bit uncomfortable because it was hot! I do wish the rooms had more of an open-air aspect.
Cleanliness and Safety – The Elephant in the Room (Or Rather, the Virus)
Okay, let's get real. We're all thinking about safety these days. Indonesian Paradise really seems to be taking it seriously.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Check.
- Cashless payment service: Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Check.
- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere. Like, everywhere.

- Room sanitization opt-out available: Option to decline if you wish.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: I'd hope so!
- Sanitized kitchen and tableware items: Seemed to be, absolutely. I didn't get sick.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: You could tell. They were masked up, and the whole vibe felt cautious but friendly.
- Sterilizing equipment: I saw some.
Honestly? I felt safe. Maybe a little too safe at times. The constant reminders of the pandemic felt a little overwhelming, but better safe than sorry, right?
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – My Stomach's Takeover
This is where things get deliciously complicated.

Here's the real tea (or coffee, in my case): The breakfast buffet was the highlight. I mean, it was insane! So many options… pastries, fresh fruit, noodles, eggs cooked to order… I spent a good hour there every morning. My biggest regret? Not trying everything. I was so full afterward I could barely move. The pool bar was also a winner. I spent a lot there.
Things to Do – The Spa, The Pool, and More…

- Spa: The heart of the Paradise, IMO.
- Spa/sauna: Combination of both?
- Steamroom: Yes.
- Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]: Gorgeous, refreshing.
Okay, the spa. Let's talk. I'm not a "spa person," usually. I'm more of a "sit on a beach and drink cocktails" person. But the Indonesian Paradise spa? Changed my mind. I had a Balinese massage that melted away all my stress (and probably some muscles I didn’

The (Un)Official SU45 Cozy Double Room with Garden View: A Love Letter to Imperfection
Pre-Trip Panic (aka, The Great Packing Debacle):
- One month out: "Okay, Indonesia! Beaches! Temples! I'm practically Indiana Jones!" Panics and promptly orders seven identical pairs of travel underwear from Amazon, because, practicality
- One week out: Realizes "tropical" means "humid." Researches anti-frizz serum. Ends up buying a rainforest's worth.
- One day out: Luggage explodes. Realizes I've packed three novels, a ukulele I can't play, and approximately zero sunblock. Contemplate burning the whole damn lot and staying home. Decide to press on, because… Indonesia!
Day 1: Arrival - Lost and Found (Mostly Lost)
Morning (6:00 AM): Red-eye flight arrives. Bleary-eyed, the airport feels like a giant, chaotic hug from a sweaty stranger. Immigration is a test of patience. Smile. Be charming. Pray the visa gods are with you.
Morning (8:00 AM): Find a local driver maybe recommended by a friend of a friend. He seems nice but… is he taking me to the actual hotel? The map on my phone is a traitor. The road is a rollercoaster. I clutch my bag like it's my last friend.
Late Morning/Early Afternoon (11:30 AM, GIVE OR TAKE): SU45! Finally. The "Cozy Double Room with Garden View." Okay, the garden is… green. And the view… well, it's a garden. The room itself is the size of a shoebox, but it smells faintly of frangipani and promise. The AC wheezes but works (for now). Emotional Reaction: Utter relief mixed with a nagging "is this it?" feeling.
Afternoon (1:00 PM): Unpack, realize I forgot the adapter, and contemplate weeping into a pillow. Decide to explore.
Afternoon (2:00 PM): Attempt to navigate the local markets. Get hopelessly lost, but hey, street food! Sample everything. Regret nothing (except possibly that questionable durian gelato).
Afternoon (4:00 PM): The Golden Hour of Misery: I swear I saw a giant lizard (maybe a monitor lizard? Too big for a gecko, surely…) disappear under my hotel room door. Panic. Retreat. Curl up on the bed, watching the geckos scurry on the walls. Decide they’re my new roommates.
Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at a local warung (small restaurant). Order something I can't pronounce. It's delicious and spicy! Burn my tongue, then fall in love with the local tea. The warmth of the community gets me hooked.
Evening (9:00 PM): Attempt to sleep. Mosquitoes. The AC is back to wheezing. Consider duct-taping a fan to the window. Fail. Swear. Fall asleep anyway.
Day 2: Temple Trekking and Tourist Traps (and a Broken Sandal)
Morning (7:00 AM): Wake up slightly defeated, but determined to see the sights. Breakfast is a plate of fried bananas and strong coffee. The sugar rush helps.
Morning (8:00 AM): Hire a motorbike (terrifying. My balance is a joke). Head towards a temple (I forget the name, something with "pura" in it). The driving is chaos. I cling to the driver, whimpering. Quirky Observation: Every local driver is riding like a pro, the road is the local race, and I am barely surviving.
Morning (9:30 AM): The Temple Experience: The temple is magnificent. Seriously, jaw-droppingly beautiful. Intricate carvings, vibrant colors, the air buzzing with incense. I stumble (literally, tripped over a loose tile), and a local woman, decked out in traditional garments, just smiles and helps me up. She gives me a flower behind my ear and blesses me. Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated awe. This is why I came.
Mid-day (12:00 PM): Lunch at a tourist trap (blame the hunger, and the heat). Overpriced. Bland. Regret.
Mid-day (1:30 PM): Attempt to walk back to the hotel. My sandal breaks. Of course. Walk barefoot. Burn my feet. Curse the heat. Find a tiny shop, buy colorful plastic flip-flops.
Afternoon (3:00 PM): Back at the hotel. The AC is working again! Victory! Sit on the balcony. Actually, appreciate the garden view. The geckos are still very active.
Afternoon (4:00 PM): Attempt to use the internet. The connection is slower than a sloth in molasses. Give up. Read a book. Feel a sense of peace I didn’t know I needed.
Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at a different warung. This one… smells a little interesting. It's the best meal I have.
Evening (9:00 PM): Fall asleep before 9:00 pm . Exhausted, sun-kissed, a little sandy, and filled with more experiences than I could have known.
Day 3: Beach Day & Goodbye, (For Now)
- Morning (8:00 AM): After a lazy morning, hired a taxi to the beach. The sun feels good. The waves even better. I get splashed a lot, lose sunglasses. The experience of being at the beach is like no other.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Order grilled fish with grilled corn. The waiter brings a different drink than I ordered. The fish is delicious.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Packing up
- Evening (6:00 PM): Back to the airport. Goodbye, Indonesia. This chapter of my life is done for now.
Final Thoughts:
This trip to SU45… well, it wasn't perfect. Everything I dreamed of and nothing I expected. It will change you, challenge you and leave you with a smile on your face. The garden wasn't Eden, the room wasn't a palace, and I certainly didn't look like Indiana Jones. But it was… real. And that's what matters. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go buy some high quality sunscreen. And maybe a bigger bag.
Indonesian Paradise: Your Private Pool Villa Awaits (PZ32)
Indonesian Paradise: Your Cozy Garden View Double Room Awaits (SU45) - FAQs... and Ramblings
Okay, so... what *exactly* is this "Indonesian Paradise" thing? Is it... actual paradise?
Alright, let's be real. Paradise? That's a *big* word. I mean, if you're picturing pristine beaches, endless cocktails, and zero mosquito bites... maybe temper those expectations juuuuust a tad. But! Indonesian Paradise (SU45, remember the room number, it'll be important later... or maybe not, I'm already forgetting things) is a lovely little spot. It's... cozy. Think lush greenery, a slightly wonky but charming building, and the promise of a chilled-out vibe. It's definitely more "relaxing afternoon nap in a hammock" than "epic adventure movie." Honestly, I found it *because* I was too exhausted to plan anything epic. And you know what? It was perfect for it.
The Garden View Double Room... is there *actually* a garden? And is the view any good?
Yes! A garden! And a view! Look, I’m not going to lie; on arrival, I was a little underwhelmed. "Garden View"? I'd seen bigger gardens in my grandma's flowerpots. But then... I sat on the little balcony (more on that later, it's a key player in this whole drama) with a cup of Bali coffee – which, by the way, is *strong* stuff. And the garden... it actually *was* lovely. Like, little birds flitting about, the sun dappling through the leaves, the gentle sway of the palm trees. Okay, okay, it wasn't the hanging gardens of Babylon, but it was *nice*. Peaceful. And after a few days, you genuinely *look forward* to that garden. You start recognizing the same orange and black butterfly that visits every morning. It's the little things, right? And yeah, the view? Way better than staring at a brick wall. Unless you *like* staring at brick walls. Then, hey, you do you.
Alright, let’s talk room details: What's the room *actually* like? Is it clean? Comfortable? Big enough, or a shoebox?
Okay, this is where things get a *little* real. The room? It’s… charmingly basic. Clean, yes. Comfortable, mostly. Okay, the bed wasn't the plushiest thing I've ever slept on, but it wasn't a medieval torture device either. It’s definitely not a shoebox. It's… a decent size. You can move around without doing the awkward side-step shuffle. The bathroom? Standard shower situation, maybe a *teensy* bit on the… rustic side. Let's just say, don't expect luxury spa vibes. But it works. And honestly, after a day of exploring, all you need is a shower, a bed, and a mini-fridge (essential, by the way). My main complaint (and this is important!) was the lighting. Dim. Very dim. Like, I needed a flashlight to find the remote for the TV. And yes, there's a TV. And the AC? Worked like a champ. A lifesaver, really. Bali heat? Brutal.
The balcony... you keep mentioning the balcony. What's the deal? Was it the best part of the trip? The worst? Spill the tea!
OH. MY. GOD. THE BALCONY. Okay, deep breaths. So, the balcony... It's tiny. Like, you can barely fit two chairs on it. But it's *key*. Because that little balcony *became* my brain's happy place. Morning coffee? Balcony. Evening sunset-watching? Balcony. Contemplating life choices after one too many Bintangs? Balcony. I swear I spent half my time on the balcony. One time, I was sitting out there, and got THE most incredible rain shower, and it was just... magic. The smell of the rain on the lush green plants, the gentle drumming on the roof... it was pure bliss. I swear, I nearly cried. Yeah, it was THAT good. Then there was the time I almost dropped my phone over the railing. That wasn't so awesome. So, yes, it was the best part. And the worst, at different times. But mostly the best. Okay, definitely the best.
Is there Wi-Fi? Because Instagram-addiction is a *serious* condition.
Yes. There is Wi-Fi. And it's... okay. Look, it’s not going to win any speed awards. Streaming movies? Possibly a struggle during peak hours. But for checking emails, scrolling through Insta, and updating your story with those all-important garden view photos? You should be fine. Just don't get *too* frustrated if it's a bit slow at times. Embrace the digital detox, maybe? Yeah, right. I was glued to my phone too. No judgment.
What are the surroundings of the place like? Is it easy to get around? Anything exciting nearby.
Okay, the location. This is a *good* thing. Indonesian Paradise is tucked away, which gives it that peaceful vibe. But it's also close enough to everything you *actually* want. Restaurants, beaches, shops... all within a manageable distance. I rented a scooter (which, by the way, is an adventure in itself - wear a helmet!), and it was a total game-changer. Seriously, the freedom! You can zoom around, discover hidden gems, and get lost (happened to me… more than once). There are a few little warungs (local restaurants) nearby that are, and I mean *are*, to die for. You have to try the nasi goreng. Trust me on this. So, yeah, location? Solid gold.
Any hidden costs or gotchas I should be aware of? Things they *don't* tell you?
Here's the truth bomb. No major gotchas, thankfully. But a few things... Tipping isn't usually mandatory, but it's appreciated. Bring plenty of sunscreen (the sun is *fierce*). Mosquito repellent? Essential, unless you want to become a walking buffet. And… that Bali belly thing? It's a real possibility. Pack some Immodium, just in case. Also, I found the mini-bar prices a little steep. So, maybe stock up on drinks and snacks from the local shops. And, ugh, the airport transfer cost me an arm and a leg; next time, I'm negotiating. Also, maybe leave the fancy clothes at home. It's a very chill place – go easy on the heels. My advice? Pack light, relax, and embrace the chaos.
