Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. My room did not have a tub, not sure if that is standard or not but wish there was one. Hotel provided a portable crib for my little one which was in very good condition and didn't take long to get. The free breakfast had a good selection of choices and a decent amount of seating. Staff was friendly. There was an outdoor pool but we didn't use it as we were just too busy. There is a Starbucks and Subway very close to the hotel.Overall, it was a very good experience.

Went for drinks and appetizers. Had the chicken nachos which were amazing. Their drink menu is amazing as they have a lot of items on the menu that are made with fresh ingredients (cucumber, cilantro, etc) that make them very tasty and very refreshing. Several of the drinks can be made non-alcoholic if you wish. Go for the drinks if nothing else.The Father Kino was my favorite drink.

I went here twice while staying at the Best Western that is just behind it. The staff was very friendly and kept refilling drinks and making sure everything was ok. The food was good but not amazing. Think Denny's or Ihop but with better service. Prices were reasonable. Since I was staying at the hotel I got 20% off of my bill (just show your room key) which was nice. I only had breakfast both times but was happy with what I got.

Went for their lunch buffet, as I figured it would be a good way to try this Chinese restaurant. The food was good but nothing amazing. The selection was decent but not extensive. For the price, it was good, as it includes a soft drink and ice cream (around $7 on the weekends). The staff was super friendly and nice.

This is a great place to get some exercise and take in the scenery at the same time. Parking is $5 for a day pass and the tram was $8 per adult (as of April 2012). Make sure you have cash, as the parking and tram are cash only. There is a gift shop and info center (they take cards). Took the tram up and then walked the 3.8 miles back. The tram ride up is narrated, which is interesting. There are a total of 9 stops and you can get on/get off as many times as you like during the day. The whole way is paved and is mainly downhill. You will cross the river several times (over bridges) and will have an opportunity to play in the water if you want. I had my 8 month old daughter her stroller and had no problems pushing it the whole way down. There are lots of bathrooms along the way. There are vending machines at the bottom, so plan ahead and bring food. There are other hiking trails that aren't paved. A great way to spend a day/half day.

They have a great selection of sandwiches to choose from. They are nice and thick with lots of stuff on them. I had the California BLT and the bread was a nice thick/dense brown bread. Not sure if that is what all of their sandwiches come with, but it was super tasty. They are slightly on the pricey side, but not too bad.

The food here was absolutely amazing. Great flavors, fresh ingredients, wide variety of options. Tried several items and all were so good I don't think I could pick a favorite as all were so different. Staff was super friendly and helpful in helping me decide what to order. There is seating inside and outside (covered but open air). Very laid back place with great food.

This is a nice basic hotel with amazing prices for the area. They were half (or less) than the local hotels. Airport shuttle was easy (they will also take you to restaurants, etc), the included breakfast was nice (bagels, doughnuts, cereal, juice, coffee, etc), staff was friendly, room was clean. Hotel is a little dated inside and out but they are working on updating it. If your grandma owned a hotel, this is what it would look like. Bedding was all white, which was nice and the mattress was very comfortable. Pink tile in the bathroom but it was clean. Just a few blocks from the metro station (it is flat, easy walk). If you want to stay near DC but on a budget this is the hotel for you. No pool, not as many frills as some hotels, but great cost.

The decor is quite interesting with a bunch of old wood. There is a large selection of beers. I went for the pizza- they have a large selection of thin crust specialty pizzas. Tried 2 different ones and both were really good. Plan on going back more, especially in the summer when they have their outdoor seating open.

Good sandwiches and salads. They also do catering. I've yet to try something that wasn't super tasty there. Prices are reasonable.

Located in Grand Coulee. The food is reasonably priced, the burgers are amazing and the service was friendly and the food came out fast. Tried the appetizer sampler which was huge and had a nice variety of deep fried foods. As an FYI the burgers come with a bag of chips not french fries. Would go back if in the area.

Beth's has won several awards in the greasy spoon category and has been featured on numerous Travel Channel Shows. The omelettes come in 2 sizes- 6 or 12 egg. They come with all-you-can-eat hashbrowns and toast. The food is good (I'm sure they use a lot of butter to make it so tasty) and the portions are large enough to share. As previously mentioned, it is fun to read the artwork on the walls. Prices are reasonable (especially when you are sharing) and the portions are large. Great place to go if you are hungry any time of day or night.

This restaurant has great service and even better food. I've eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. I keep coming back for more.

I love the pastries here. I like to get a cup of coffee (or tea depending on my mood) and try a pastry or two. I've yet to try something that I didn't like.

This is an amazing dam. This dam has the largest generators in the world (3 of them), produces the most electricity in the US (currently 4th in the world), etc. Every night they do a laser light show that is interesting and informative.

Another fun thing to do related to the dam is to take a tour of the 3rd power plant. You get to go into it and see how massive it really is. Then they drive you along the top of the dam (and you get to get off). 2010 was the first time that they let you back on the top (in a van with a security guard) since 2001. Best of all, this tour is absolutely free!

This park goes through the border crossing. Well, one of them (the Peace Arch crossing, there is also the truck crossing). Sometimes the wait through this one can be a little lengethly but you can get out and stretch your legs (if you are not the driver!) in the park and walk through the Arch. The park is longer and expands away from the border crossing, so if you are coming just for that you can spend most of your time away from the traffic and just take a stroll there. Be sure to find the spot where you can be in the US and Canada at the same time.

Lovely well maintained park. My favorite part of this park is the rose garden.

Beautiful Buddhist monastery- which is the only one on Bali. You can see the Balinese influence in the buildings. The grounds are lovely and well cared for. Great views of the surrounding areas.

This is the hot springs where the locals go. It is very affordable to get in, but beware of the gauntlet of vendors when you walk up from the car park. They aren't super pushy but there are lots of them.

The water in the springs is full of sulphur, so beware of wearing anything with white on it as it might stain your suit. (Suits are required).

There are 3 pools with water coming out in via several spouts. Each pool is a different temperature. There is an outdoor shower were you can soap up to clean up, a cafe, changing rooms, etc.

Great for the local hot springs experience.

This is the largest of the 3 Gili Islands and has the most tourists. It is known as the party island. With no police on the islands, don't be surprised to see Magic Mushrooms on boards advertising drinks at the bars.

Tons of places to eat and hang out on the beach, even if you are making a day trip from another island.

I think what Bolong is doing is absolutely amazing. He buys turtle eggs and then lets them hatch before hanging on to them for 8 months. After 8 months the turtles are able to dive down and escape preditors, so they have a 95% survival rate in the wild. He spends his own time and money to feed and care for the baby turtles. When they are lucky, they can catch enough fish to feed the turles and don't have to buy anything. If you do visit, please consider giving a donation (regardless of the size) as it might not mean much to you, but to them it will make a huge difference.

This bookshop will come in handy if you spend much time on the island and do a bunch of reading. They have a wide variety of books in various languages at reasonable prices. They will also accept your books on a 2 to 1 trade. For a small island they had a huge selection of books, including one I'd been looking for for awhile.

These islands a great getaway from either Bali or Lombok. With no vehicles allowed on this islands, it is a great way to relax and not worry about the motorbikes. These are a must see if you have the time.

You can take the slow ferry or fast ferry from Bali or a ferry from Lombok. The fast ferry is worth the extra money as it cuts the time by more than 50%.

Get a guide and do the sunrise climb up to the top of Mt. Batur. (Guides are required). It will be an early morning- we left our hotel by 3:30am and were starting the hike by 4am. In the dark you'd have no idea where to go without a guide. Took about 1 1/2 hours to hike up (the last bit is more up than flat). There is something about hiking in the dark and only seeing where your flashlight shines- mainly just your feet so that you don't know how high up you are going.

The views from the top, even on a cloudy day (when it clears just a little) make it worth it. Plus, how many people can say they've climbed a volcano?

They do teriyaki and some noodles. More varieties than just your beef or chicken teriyaki with different sauces, etc. They do have the option for brown rice with your meal instead of white rice. I got the Singapore Chicken and was amazed by the size. It was a lot of brown rice and 6 small pieces of chicken. For the price we paid I would have thought that I would have gotten more. Food was ok but not amazing.

This hotel is a great base for hiking Mt. Rinjani or to go to the nearby waterfalls.

Food was good and reasonably priced. Rooms were ok, downsides were the paper thin walls in the cottages between the rooms and the beds. They took a matress set and split it in two- one room got the bottom of the set, the other got the top part. I got the bottom half and it was horrible- the floor would have been more comfortable. If at all possible, try to see your room (and inspect your bed) before you take that room. Other than that, it was a nice place with stunning views.

Rooms are very simple- they could use a fan or a/c or something in the rooms to get the air moving. Food is very tasty. No pool but it does have one of the only generators in the area which comes in handy with the frequent power failures in the area. Area nearby is lovely.

Room was clean and simple inside. It is located down a small street, which means it is very quiet. It is a very short walk to the beach or to shops, food, etc.

Rooms are set out in a long row, with the pool in the center of that row and lots of plants between the rooms. It was very peaceful to sit out on the porch and listen to the birds.

This hotel is located right on the beach. Rooms aren't on the beach but just a short walk from them. The pool and restaurant are both on the edge of the beach. There are tables and lounge chairs on the beach. Very quiet and relaxing.

This is a basic hotel. This is the nicer of the 2 hotels in Bangli. Great view of Mt. Batur.

Rooms are clean but basic. After an early morning trek up Mt. Batur it is perfect.

Food in the restaurant was good. The set menu was a good price and provided more food than I could eat. The individual entrees were good as well.

Hotel has internet, with several computers, which surprised me.

This lovely hotel is located in Sideman, at Br. Tabola. So small it doesn't show up on the map.

Hotel is surrounded by green- rice paddies mainly. There isn't much to do aside from relax, take a dip in the stunning pool or go for a walk. Rooms are lovely with fresh flowers when you arrive.

Unless you have a car, expect to eat in the hotel, as there isn't anything near by. Luckily the food is really good (portions are small) but with the river nearby it is very lovely.

Perfect for getting away from it all for a little bit. Would definitely stay here again if I am ever in the area.

This hotel has amazing staff who are so friendly and helpful. Arranged my fast boat through them and was even escorted to it.

Rooms were nice, food was good (ate only breakfast), laundry available, the pool was wonderful. I loved the seats out on the balcony- perfect for relaxing. On an island without any vehicles, it fit to just sit and relax.

If I ended up on Gili Air again, I would definitely stay here again.

Don't let the name discourage you from this hotel. It was super easy to get to by public transport (took the airport hotel and then the free shuttle which dropped me off maybe a block away). Did have to go up the "hill" but it wasn't too steep and was very easily to do as it was a short block at most.

Rooms are small but functional, but in a city like Hong Kong do you expect large rooms (unless staying at a super fancy place). Bed was comfortable. No complaints about the room. Hotel has baggage storage which is super handy for an evening flight.

For the price and location, I would stay here again.

This place specializes in duck- the food was good, the setting was stunning, as it is surrounded by a rice paddy and the dining area is several open air places. Worth a visit.

Pool area is nice, breakfast is great (try the banana pancakes- the best in Bali in my opinion) and the rooms are ok. I stayed in a fan room- which was nice. If I were going back I'd updgrade to one with a/c as it can be fairly warm in Ubud. Hotel also has a decent sized library and umbrellas to use during your stay (which is nice during those rainy afternoons).

Entrance is 20,000- the forest is nice and cool and refreshing as there is a lot of shade from the large trees throughout the park.

The highlight for me is watching the monkeys play in the pool. It is like watching a bunch of kids in the pool. Nice way to get away from it all for a little bit.

This can be a rather challenging disc golf course because it is right against the river and many holes are right up near it. An easy way to loose discs this way.

Of course you don't have to play disc golf to come here. You can walk around and look at the river, just beware of flying discs!

They make really good sandwiches. Be prepared, they are huge. The sandwiches are amazing. My only complaint is that they are rather spendy.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to eat at! The food is very authentic. The tortillas are made on site (in their huge tortilla maker). You can take home fresh tortillas, pico de gallo, etc. Food is prepared when you order it (tacos, etc) and are out of this world. They come basic (meat in the tortilla) but then you can add onions, cilantro, salsas, lettuce, etc. The tomales are amazing as well. Worth a visit. It is in a Mexican store, with a large pastry selection. Stop by if you are in the area!
