1 Bedroom Private Pool Villa at IDR1,400,000nett, include breakfast for 2 and other inclusion:

1. Ginger Lemongrass Ice Tea Welcome Drink upon arrival  
2. Welcoming tropical fruit in room 
3. Daily breakfast for 2 pax at Silungan Restaurant (we requested breakfast to send to our villa)
4. Daily Afternoon tea & Coffee with homemade cake at Poolside for 4 pm till 6 pm at poolside (Not utilized, as we only check in around 9pm)
5. Daily 2 (two) bottles of mineral water in the room on complimentary 
6. Free Wi-Fi Free shuttle bus service to/from Ubud Coco Mart based on schedule (Not utilized)
7. The rate is NETT included tax and service 
8. Free resort activities such as Morning rice field walk, making gebogan, making Balinese offering, Balinese dance depend our schedule. (Not utilized)

The villa rate is slightly cheaper to book directly from the hotel compare with Agoda. We pay the accommodation fees upon arrival but credit card authorization is required to secure the villa booking. I book the villa by emailing Anulekha and they replied all my emails promptly. I do suggest to stay longer at the villa so that can utilize the service provided.

The villa is actually a 3 bedroom villa. But they lock the other 2 rooms, so it is a 1 bedroom private villa. 

We brought our own float to Bali. Many shops do not provide float rental to Ubud area, some do provide but with expensive surcharge. We should buy float without the hole in the middle =( 

Requested for breakfast to send to our villa. Floating breakfast is available for rental at IDR150,000 per tray. Portion was big and taste was good. There's wide selection of the menu, from asian, western, continental etc.

Common Pool for all guests

Anulekha also provide hotel transfer as below:

We are pleased to arrange pick up airport or transfer from other hotel in Kuta/Seminyak area with additional price ; IDR 350.000/car/way for arrival time at noon-evening till 09.00 pm for maximum 3 – 4 person in the car with luggage. We trust the price is good order as it is already better than price compared with Taxi Airport at IDR 400.000/car/way. For arrival time after 9.00 pm/midnight/early morning, the additional charge is ; IDR 450.000/car/way.

As we already engage car rental with driver throughout our Bali trip, so we do not require the services provided by Anulekha.

Hub Hua Hin 57 Hotel

(Visited Hua Hin & Bangkok from 2-9.11.2019)

Hub Hua Hin 57 Hotel is a comfortable budget boutique hotel located at Hua Hin City Center. 

There are limited parking space available for hotel guests.

Superior Twin Room at RM127/night, booking through Agoda

We stay at 7th floor, which has a nice view of the hotel surrounding.

The hotel also provide 1 day trip tour, which is quite convenient and affordable for us. According to the hotel staffs, we actually can use Grab to access to most of the places, but it is quite difficult to hail Grab back from those tourist places as most of the tourist places are considered outskirts from the city center.

We decided to book the tour at 1500baht for two of us, inclusive of car and driver (8 hours). No toll fee is applicable for the tour. We can choose 5 places (Cha-Am District) from some of the places above. Some places are quite far from each other, so you can only choose the places which are of same direction/district.

We ended up going to Santorini Park, Swiss Sheep Farm, Mrigadayavan Palace (Palace of Love & Hope), Plearn Wan and Hua Hin Railway Station. We are reluctant to choose Hua Hin Railway Station as it is quite near to our hotel which we can easily walk over. But we have no other choice, cause 

1. The Venetia Hua Hin - entrance fees are not cheap though, and we do not interested to shop there

2. 1,000 Sook Food & Farm - driver advise us to pick either Swiss Sheep Farm or 1,000 Sook, as both places are similar. There's no need to visit both.

3. Elephant Village - we have no interest in visiting elephant 

4. FN Outlet HuaHin - no shopping, please.

The rest of the places require additional charges which the driver advise us to book another tour as they are not nearby to Cha-Am area.

Some of the artistic & meaningful quote found in the hotel

Clock Tower is just 2-3 mins walk from Hub Hua Hin Hotel 57 Hotel. We drag our luggage to this place and take the van back to Mochit Bus Terminal, Bangkok. Ride for 1 person is 180 baht. Due to each of us have 2 big luggage, we have to pay additional 180 baht for our luggage, therefore end up 540 baht for 2 person. Journey from Clock Tower to Mochit Bus Terminal took around 3.5 hours. The van will depart from Clock Tower to Hua Hin Bus Terminal to pick more guests. So you can either choose to hop into the van either from Clock Tower or Hua Hin Bus Terminal.

Yan's House Hotel, Bali

I just had my 3 days 2 nights stay in Yan's House Hotel, Bali. It's a nice boutique hotel located strategically in Kuta and short walking distance to Kuta Beach, Kuta Square and Discovery Mall. I booked its Deluxe Room Double through Agoda at RM175/night, inclusive of breakfast for 2.

Deluxe Room Double

The room looks exactly the same with the photos you could see in Agoda, but the chairs at the bar desk are somehow missing in action.

There's breakfast menu in the room

Fruits served in glass for every guests

Each of us can choose 1 hot drink (Tea/Coffee) and 1 juice. We had Latte, Cappucino, Carrot Juice and Pineapple Juice (not yet served when taking this picture). They will serve bread rolls with butter and different variety of muffin every morning. The jackfruit muffin that we had on the first day was delicious!

Mie Goreng with Chicken

Spanish Omelette with Capsicum, Beef Chorizo, Asparagus and Potato Skin Crisp

I love this dish, it's superb!

Peppermint tea and orange juice to complement my meal

Poached Egg in Beetroot Juice, Spinach and Orange Yogurt Hollandaise

The portion may look small but it was very filling and satisfying

Mie Bebek Kuah

Soup Noodles with Duck Meat, the broth was rich and the noodles tasted like instant noodle

The design of the hotel and lobby was nice too. Great for taking pictures

Closer view of the breakfast menu

The breakfast selection was interesting and I really hope to try them all. Love their plating and food presentation. Their breakfast menu are like fine dining menu.

 I highly recommend this place if you wish to stay in Kuta. There are plenty of convenience stores nearby and staffs were friendly and attentive. The only down side was hair dryer was only given upon request.
