Bali is a very friendly island that has heard just about every tourist request. Make sure you ask questions about the best places to eat or visit once you arrive. Your hotel wants you to be happy and can point you in the best direction to enjoy your stay.

It also doesn’t hurt to ask for any upgrades once you arrive at your hotel. Often if hotel rooms remain un-booked you can get a different room with a larger bed or more glamorous bathroom. A hotel will always try to make a repeat customer out of you and simple upgrades are an easy way to do this.

Make sure you have all the right cords to charge your camera, including an adaptor as the plugs in Bali are different from other countries.
