Escape to Paradise: A Review of "Your Dream Awan Bali House Awaits!" (And My Brain During the Journey)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (and maybe some Bintang) on my recent adventure at "Your Dream Awan Bali House Awaits!" – or whatever the heck it's actually called. Look, I'm still trying to figure out the name, it's all a blur of sunshine and, let's be honest, a lot of mosquito repellent. But one thing's for sure: this place… it tried.
Accessibility: (Okay, Let's Get the Important Stuff Out of the Way First)
Now, as much as I'd love to regale you with tales of poolside shenanigans right away, we need to be responsible, right? Right. So, Accessibility. They claim to have facilities for disabled guests. I saw an elevator, which is a good start. But honestly, I didn't spend my time meticulously checking out every ramp and handrail, so I can't give you a definitive "yes" or "no." Maybe call ahead and check if your grandma's got a cane, ya know? (I always want to make sure my grandma's comfortable and accessible).
Cleanliness and Safety: Is This Place Actually Safe?
Okay, this is where my inner germaphobe came to life. The whole COVID thing has me paranoid. Thankfully, "Your Dream Awan Bali House Awaits!" seemed to get it. They were all over sanitizing stuff – the staff looked like they were fresh out of hazmat training, ready to battle any rogue virus with vengeance. Anti-viral cleaning products, check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Double check! They had hand sanitizer stations EVERYWHERE. Every. Where. I practically bathed in the stuff. The rooms were sanitized between stays, and they offered a way to opt out of room sanitization if you were feeling brave (or just REALLY trusted your immune system). I definitely went with the "sanitized" route. Plus, they rocked the physical distancing thing – felt safe enough to actually remove my mask (gasp!).
Rooms: My Personal Fortress of Bliss (or Slight Disappointment at Sunset)
Alright, let's talk about the rooms. Available in all rooms they had air conditioning (thank GOD, it was HOT!), that's the first thing! Coffee/tea maker? Yes! Internet access, well, they said yeah, and they were not wrong! I had complimentary tea, which was a nice touch! Complimentary bottled water, was also great! I can tell you that I definitely used those facilities! The rooms were pretty standard. Clean, comfy enough, and equipped with all the basics. You get your air conditioning, a mini-bar (which I abused), and a safe box (because, you know, paranoia). I was lucky enough to get a higher floor, which almost made up for the fact that my "ocean view" was slightly obstructed by some very enthusiastic palm trees. Really, I was expecting a view, not a peek.
Dining, Drinking and Snacking: The Food… Oh, The Food! (Rambling on!)
Now, this is where things get interesting. The restaurants… well, there are restaurants. One was a buffet, which is usually my jam, but I felt slightly weird about the whole shared tongs situation, so I stuck to the a la carte menu. The Asian breakfast was pretty solid (nasi goreng, anyone?), their Asian cuisine was pretty good. The coffee was decent, but the Western breakfast… let's just say my scrambled eggs tasted suspiciously like they'd been waiting a while. The bar was a lifesaver, though. Happy hour – YES! Poolside bar – double YES! I practically lived at the poolside bar, nursing icy, delicious cocktails and trying (and failing) to look sophisticated. The desserts were… well, they existed. Definitely don't go there expecting Michelin-star quality, but hey, it's Bali, not Paris. The snack bar was amazing, by the way.
Things to Do: Ways to Relax (And Maybe Get Slightly Sunburnt)
The pool? Glorious. Seriously, a pool with a view. Instagrammable as heck. I spent most of my days floating around like a bloated, sun-kissed seal. They also had a spa! A spa! I indulged in a massage (heaven), a body scrub (felt like a new person), and a foot bath (bliss). They had a sauna and steam room, but I'm not a huge fan of being cooked alive, so I skipped those. The fitness center was… well, it was there. I intended to use it, but my ambition usually dissolved after the first cocktail. Then, I just went to the swimming pool.
Services and Conveniences: Does This Place Actually Have It All?
They had a concierge, I think, because I saw them. Dry cleaning, check. Laundry service, check. Luggage storage, check. Cash withdrawal, which was super useful. They even had a convenience store, which was great for late-night snack attacks. The staff was generally helpful, though sometimes communication was a bit… challenging. Like explaining to housekeeping that no, I didn’t want my towels to be replaced every single day, I’m just trying to conserve water (the irony of that statement while in Bali, I know!).
For the Kids (Because Families Exist, Apparently)
I didn't have any kids with me, but they seemed pretty kid-friendly. Babysitting service, kids facilities, and a special kids menu.
Getting Around: Airport Transfer and Taxis (Surviving the Roads)
Airport transfer was available, which was a godsend after a long flight. Car park on-site and free of charge, which is always nice. I'm not going to lie, the roads around Bali can be… chaotic. So, the taxi service was pretty essential.
The Absolute Truth, The Messy Bits
Okay, here’s the brutally honest truth: “Your Dream Awan Bali House Awaits!” wasn’t perfect. There were imperfections. The wifi was a bit patchy, sometimes I couldn't log in, there were a few questionable stains on the bathtub grout, and the "soundproof rooms" occasionally let in the sound of very enthusiastic geckos. The breakfast service was a bit slow. But you know what? It was Bali. And Bali is all about embracing the chaos, the imperfections, and just going with the flow.
One day, I was relaxing by the pool, reading a book, when the most hilarious thing happened. A monkey – yes, a REAL monkey – decided my hat looked like a tasty snack. I screamed, the monkey snatched my hat, and proceeded to torment me from the top of a nearby tree, showing the world my very un-styled, "just out of the pool" hair. It was a perfect representation of the whole "Bali experience."
Final Verdict (After Concluding the Experience):
Would I recommend "Your Dream Awan Bali House Awaits!"? Hmm, maybe. It depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re after utter perfection and flawless service, probably not. But if you're after a good base to explore Bali, a place with sunshine, cocktails, and the potential for monkey-related shenanigans? Yeah, absolutely. It's a place with its own charm. It’s not a five-star resort, but it's got a certain… something. Maybe it’s the laid-back vibe, the cheap Bintangs, or the fact that you can wear your swimsuit all day long and nobody bats an eye.
Just remember to pack your mosquito repellent, keep an open mind, and be prepared for a little bit of delightful, chaotic Bali magic. And maybe bring a hat you don't mind losing to a cheeky monkey.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're diving headfirst into my chaotic, slightly sunburned, and gloriously imperfect Bali itinerary. This isn't your perfectly curated Instagram grid, this is real life, people. We’re talking Awan Bali House, the kind of place that promises serenity and delivers… well, let's see what it delivers.
Day 1: Arrival & Immediate Regret (Kidding! Mostly.)
- 08:00 AM (Local Time): Ugh. Wake up on the plane feeling like I swallowed a bag of peanuts and a side of anxiety. My stomach does this thing where it anticipates travel and decides to stage a protest.
- 11:00 AM: Land in Denpasar. Bali air. Hot, humid, and a symphony of smells that range from "divine incense" to "questionable drains." The immigration line? A delightful exercise in patience. I swear, the guy in front of me was negotiating his visa with the officer for a good twenty minutes. I almost passed out from standing, and just when I was about to faint, they let me through.
- 12:30 PM: Taxi ride to Awan Bali House. The driver, bless his soul, drove like a caffeinated squirrel. He dodged motorbikes with a grace that suggested he was born on two wheels. I clutched my seat, white-knuckled, and muttered some Hail Marys under my breath.
- 02:00 PM: Check-in. Awan Bali House. Beautiful. Actually breathtaking. Lush, green, and quiet. Pool looked amazing. The staff were all smiles and sunshine, which I desperately needed after the taxi ride. My room… OMG. Bamboo everything. Four-poster bed with mosquito netting. Felt like I'd stumbled into a Tarzan movie.
- 03:00 PM: The real adventure begins. Poolside relaxation… or so I thought. Got a "complimentary" welcome drink, a super-sweet concoction that tasted like concentrated tropical happiness. Decided to actually get in the pool because, well, Bali. Got about 10 minutes in before I realized I didn't put on enough sunscreen. Doh! That's going to hurt tomorrow.
- 05:00 PM: Noodle-searching mission. Okay, so I'm starving. I wander the surrounding streets looking for a warung (local restaurant). The map app on my phone is about as reliable as a politician's promise. Ended up in a place. Had to point and smile because my Bahasa Indonesia is… nonexistent. The nasi goreng (fried rice) was amazing. Best $2 I ever spent.
- 07:00 PM: Back to the room. Sunburned, stuffed, and surprisingly content, I find the bed is a little too comfortable. I decide to go all-in on the chill vibes and skip whatever activities my brain had planned. I want a moment to relax and regroup, but some mosquito wants to ruin it. I am ready to sleep but the mosquito is ready too, and it's ready to annoy me.
- 09:00 PM: Bedtime. Trying to sleep, but the sounds of the jungle. So beautiful! But also very new. I'm sure I heard a monkey calling something.
Day 2: Temples, Temples, Everywhere! (And a Meltdown)
- 07:00 AM: Wake up to the sound of… I don't know, birds? Monkeys? Something chirpy and relentless. The sun is already a fiery beacon. Sunburn is officially activated. Already regretting not reapplying sunscreen.
- 08:00 AM: Breakfast at Awan Bali House. Fruit, pancakes, and strong Balinese coffee. Finally, some salvation. Also, a gaggle of chatty Australians kept trying to adopt me. Nice people, but a bit… much.
- 09:00 AM: Head to a temple. I choose the Taman Ayun Temple, then get on a taxi, no negotiating this time. I get there and I'm in awe of the beauty of the structure.
- 11:00 AM: Time for a spiritual cleanse. Ugh, so much going on, starting to feel overwhelmed.
- 12:00 PM: Back to The House.
- 01:00 PM: Lunched at The House.
- 02:00 PM: I decide to get the spa treatment, because I am in Bali. I get a deep massage. The massage was intense, but good, I think. It did help me stop being so overwhelmed.
- 04:00 PM: After more rest and recovery, it's time for another beautiful experience. I go to The House's beautiful restaurant, sitting on a chair and watching the sunset.
- 06:00 PM: Dinner at the House's restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the vibes were on point.
- 07:00 PM: I'm feeling great, and relax in my room. Then I go to sleep.
Day 3: Beach Day Blues (and a Triumph)
- 08:00 AM: Wake up feeling oddly refreshed. Still slightly sunburned, but the worst is over.
- 09:00 AM: Breakfast and attempt to read a book. Two sentences in, distracted by the resident gecko on the wall. He seemed to be judging my life choices.
- 10:00 AM: To the beach! Kuta Beach. Everyone told me it was crowded. They weren't kidding: This is a beach, all right, but it's also a human zoo on a humid day. Waves were big, the sand was hot, and there were more vendors than grains of sand. I lasted maybe 45 minutes before the sensory overload sent me fleeing.
- 11:00 AM: Found a cafe to cool off. Had an iced coffee and watched the surfing. These people are good. I feel like a clumsy walrus in comparison.
- 12:00 PM: Back to Awan Bali House. Swimming in the pool!
- 01:00 PM: Lunch at the Awan Bali House.
- 02:00 PM: I decided to go to the rice fields. It was beautiful, and relaxing.
- 04:00 PM: Back to Awan Bali House, and get ready for dinner.
- 06:00 PM: Dinner at the House. I'm feeling alright.
- 07:00 PM: Bedtime, or so I hope.
Day 4: The Big Volcano… and a Confession
- 06:00 AM: Ugh. Rise and shine, early-bird special. Today is Mount Batur day. My body is screaming, "NOOOOO!"
- 07:00 AM: Breakfast with a view. The sunrise reflecting off the clouds made me forget for a moment that I'm about to hike up a volcano.
- 08:00 AM: The drive to Mount Batur. The driver was a maniac. He was driving, then singing, then driving fast again.
- 09:00 AM: Arrive.
- 10:00 AM: Hike begins. This is… harder than I anticipated. It turns out, I have a very specific talent for choosing the most physically challenging activities. Sweat, wheezing, and moments of pure panic as I questioned every life decision that led me here. But, the views were actually incredible. I stopped on the way up to take a photo.
- 12:00 PM: The view from the top. You guys… the view. Absolutely worth it. I felt a surge of adrenaline at the top, and an immense feeling of accomplishment. I stood there, wind-swept and triumphant like I had conquered the world. I felt like a human being.
- 01:00 PM: Lunch on the top.
- 02:00 PM: The hike back.
- 04:00 PM: Back at The House.
- 05:00 PM: A very long shower.
- 06:00 PM: Dinner at the Awan Bali House.
- 07:00 PM: Bedtime.
Day 5: Departure (and a Promise)
- 07:00 AM: Last breakfast at Awan Bali House, which, I swear, has been the best thing in my life and I will miss it so much.
- 08:00 AM: Packing. Or, as I call it, shoving everything back into my suitcase.
- 09:00 AM: Saying my goodbyes to the staff. They were so kind.
- 10:00 AM: Taxi to the airport. Same nervous driver again.
- 11:00 AM: Airport chaos. Again.
- 12:00 PM: Plane. I'm on the plane.
- 13:00 PM: Takeoff.
**(Throughout the rest of the trip
Osaka Hostel Bliss: Chill Out & Explore!Okay, so "Escape to Paradise"... sounds AMAZING! But, like, *where* exactly is this paradise hiding? Is it actually, you know, *Bali* Bali?
Alright, alright, so you’re jumping straight to the juicy stuff! And yes, YES, it *is* Bali, Bali! I mean, the real deal. Think turquoise waters, frangipani blooming everywhere, monkeys (the cheeky little buggers!) trying to steal your sunglasses… the whole shebang. Actually, it’s not *directly* on the beach, which, honestly, is a *blessing* sometimes. You get the cool breeze, the stunning views, but skip the constant sand-in-everything situation. Also, this one time I stayed on a beach a bit further south in Canggu, and a rogue wave nearly swept my phone away. Dramatic, I know, but paradise *adjacent* is sometimes the better option for pure relaxation. Trust me on this.
The Awan Bali House... what's it *actually* like? Pictures can be deceiving, you know. Is it, like, full of ants? (I have a *thing* about ants.)
Okay, let's get real. Pictures *lie*. Mostly. But in this case? They're pretty darn close. The Awan Bali House is… breathtaking. Seriously. Think open-air living with bamboo accents, a plunge pool you’ll want to live in, and views that’ll make your jaw drop. Ants? Look, Bali's tropical, so you might spot a tiny ant or two playing hide-and-seek. The staff is amazing at keeping things immaculate, and the place is spotless. You're more likely to encounter a friendly gecko, which is, in my book, infinitely better. I once found a tiny little guy clinging to the ceiling of the bathroom and, I swear, he was judging my singing in the shower. (It was terrible).
Food! Tell me about the food! Is it all just, like, Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng? (Which, don't get me wrong, is *delicious*, but…)
Oh, the food! My *favorite* part. Yes, you can get your fill of perfectly cooked Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng (bliss!), but the culinary options around the Awan Bali House are seriously diverse. There are little warungs serving the most incredible local food (go for the Gado-Gado, trust me), and then there are restaurants that are, honestly, Michelin-star-worthy. Seriously, one place I went to did this duck confit that I still dream about. It was so good I almost licked the plate. (Okay, I *may* have actually licked the plate). The staff can arrange for a private chef, too, if you're feeling fancy pants. Honestly, I almost gained ten pounds just *thinking* about the food. It's that good.
What about getting around? Do I need to learn to drive a scooter? Because, honestly, I'm terrified of scooters.
Scooters. The bane of my existence (kidding, mostly). Look, Bali is scooter central. But you totally don't *have* to drive one. The Awan Bali House staff can arrange drivers for you, which I highly recommend, especially if you, like me, are accident-prone. They know the roads, the local customs, and, crucially, how to navigate the insane traffic. I once tried to rent a scooter and, well, let's just say I spent more time walking it than actually riding it. Seriously, a driver is worth the money. Plus, you can sip your Bintang and enjoy the scenery without having to worry about, you know, *staying alive*.
What’s the Wi-Fi situation like? (Gotta stay connected, gotta get those Insta pics, am I right?)
Okay, fine, I get it. We all need our fix. The Wi-Fi at Awan Bali House is surprisingly decent. It's not lightning-fast, but it's enough to handle emails, social media, and video calls (if you *must*). Just remember, you're in paradise. Try to, you know, look up from your screen every once in a while and actually *experience* the beauty around you. Easier said than done, I know. I once got so engrossed in Instagram, I almost missed a truly spectacular sunset. The *horror*!
Are there activities? Like, things to *do* besides just lounging by the pool (though, let’s be honest, that sounds pretty amazing)?
Oh, buddy, there's *tons* to do! You could learn to surf (I'm still a total beginner, but it's fun!), visit temples (the Uluwatu Temple is a must-see, but be prepared for monkey shenanigans!), go diving or snorkeling, take a yoga class (Namaste!), or go on a hike through the rice paddies. The staff can arrange any activity you want or, you know, just point you in the right direction. Honestly, I usually end up doing a bit of everything. One day I'm hitting the waves, the next I’m meditating next to some ancient ruins, and the day after that, I'm lying by the pool, regretting all the decisions that gave me a sunburn. You won't be bored, unless you *want* to be. Which, hey, is also a valid vacation choice.
What if something goes wrong? Like, what if I get sick or something?
Okay, serious time. Bali can be amazing, but you gotta be prepared. The Awan Bali House staff is incredibly helpful. They can help arrange doctor visits (in case you overdo it on the street food, which, again, *temptation*!), and they're generally super vigilant in case of health issues. I once had a minor Bali belly episode (don't ask details, but it involved rice and regret), and they were super helpful with recommendations and resources. Bring any medications you need, and maybe pack some Immodium just in case. Better safe than sorry!
Is it really *safe*? Bali's a long way from home...
This is a fair question, and I'll be honest: I had my moments of doubt before my first trip. But overall? Bali is a pretty safe place, especially within the tourist areas. Petty theft is a risk, so keep an eye on your belongings. The Awan Bali House is very secure, and they have staff on hand. Avoid walking alone at night in poorly lit areas, and be mindful of your surroundings. The Balinese people are, in general, incredibly friendly and welcoming. I've always felt safer on the streets of Bali than in some parts of my hometown. Trust your gut, be street smart, and you should have a fantastic experience.
