Random Recommendations for a Relaxing Bali Trip

Everyone can GOOGLE everything about Bali.
But, here are 4 random recommendations from GoMitty for those who looking for:
1) Driver guide that provides good service
2) Spa centre with relaxing atmosphere and massage
3) Pool float renting for you to lazy at the private pool in front of your villa
4) Customized cupcakes for any special events

So, without further delay(well, I delayed this post for 1 year, WTF!), let's check out GoMitty tips on how to pamper you and your love ones in Bali.


DRIVER

I have 2 driver contacts for you, both of them are nice(ie, funny, punctual, didn't brought us to shops that we doesn't wish to go etc)and they charged us at reasonable price (IDR 400 000 for 8 hours trip, which includes parking fee, petrol and meal for driver)

Our itinerary was as below
First day: Pick up airport, Lunch, Padang-padang beach, Uluwatu and Jimbaran Beach Dinner
Second day: Tanah Lot, lunch, Bedugul Lake Beratan, Taman Ayun(we skipped this) and La Lagu for dinner
Third day: We enjoy the days in Seminyak on our own
Last day: Airport transfer from Airbnb villa (IDR 200 000)

Dedok Panji, click HERE for his Facebook profile.
Gede Arjun, click HERE for his Facebook profile.

Initially I booked Arjun after recommended by my friend.
Anyway, I knew that sometime the Bali drivers would let his partner/ friend helps to guide their customers for 1-2 days due to packed schedule. I well prepared to face such situation, so I wasn't angry or disappointed when Arjun sent his partner, Panji over on the day of arrival.

Tips of the day:
1) Just prepare yourself with such situation (:-P)
2) If you are someone that who can't tolerate last minute changes, just discuss/liaise with your driver before departure.

 SPA


There is around hundreds of spa centers in Bali and which one should I picked?
I googled for reviews at multiple spa centers and finally decided to give Murano Spa a try due to:
1) Good reviews in TripAdvisor 
2) Their spa packages are actually at reasonable price
3) Free pick up service available in Seminyak area

You can check out their details at HERE.

I took the Javanese Lulur / Herbal bath package which is a traditional massage with mint oil, followed by a turmeric/Javanese Lulur scrub to exfoliate my skin. Then, yoghurt is applied to the skin before I immerse myself in an exotic flower bath. 

Partial open space massage room
Flower petals, yoghurt and body scrub.
Bath tub for our flower bath
We were served with a cup of ginger tea during the bath,
refresh the body and mind after the spa.
What can I say about my spa experience?
Absolutely love it!!!

POOL FLOAT RENTING

If you spent money to stay in a private villa, why not spend a little more to rent a pool float?
Instead of bringing a pool float all the way from Malaysia to Bali, I decided to google for pool float rental shop in Bali area~(Mighty GOOGLE!!!<3) 

So, I found Fun Float Splash. 
Check out their Facebook page at HERE.
And, as you know, GoMitty is a crazy girl. I bought the Unicorn float, instead of renting it~ 
Rental fee for Unicorn float (price as per April 2016) was 150,000 IDR/day, and I bought my float at IDR600,000. They have multiple pool float designs for you to choose from, ie the Doughnut, Pizza, Swan etc etc.
Oh ya, they do charge rental deposit. You will get back the deposit once there is no damage done on their floats upon inspection during return. Any damage on the floats will be deducted from the deposit. 

They even offered FREE delivery and inflate service to Seminyak area. 
Do PM them to get more details on pool float rental service.

Fun Float Splash staff was inflating my Unicorn.
 GoMitty was enjoying her life on Unicorn.
 Hello Unicorn.
You are mine. 
I even use Unicorn as decoration 
for the Surprise Bachelorette Party.

CUSTOMIZED CUPCAKES

Bali is a honeymoon heaven for the newly wed couples, but for me, it is also a good place to throw out party. So, if you are scratching your heads looking for cupcakes/cakes supplier, congratulations! Because you found my blog post~ Muahaha~~
The first vendor that pop out in the Google search list was Beecup, so I guess it should be good. 
Contacted the person in charge, Ms Nicky and decided to get 2 sets of cupcakes. 
Ms Nicky is very patience to discuss and give suggestions for the cupcakes design that suits meet our requirement. Appreciate it lots. 

 One set for the Bride-to-be
One set for the Birthday girl. 

I am not going to disclose the price for the cupcakes here as it was a gift from me to my BFF, kindly PM me or contact Beecup for price quotation ya.

Looking at the cupcakes make me feel hungry, and craving for cupcakes.
