Location is phenomenal to drift around – fantastic eats at gordo burrito – great diving with blue magic, one road over – moped brought right to us by a sales man in ferry – super fun couple days. Hope to return! We stayed […]
Great Food, Great View, Great Service!
We were greeted with friendly employees. Place is a bit pricier and elaborate but worth every cent. They bring out hot miniature breads using a spread which simply melts in your mouth. Cesar salad is created in front of you in your desk very refreshing and yummy. Angus rib eye steak was cooked to perfection. […]
Great Waiter and Salad Bar
We ate at Bovino’s to celebrate a birthday (our next time) and have been amazed. Their salad bar has a fantastic choice of fresh salads and small snacks. The meats are also quite tasty with an adequate selection. 1 issue is that after some time, they quit bringing meat and you’ll have to request them […]
Beautiful hotel in the center of PDC
Our remain in la tortuga has been fantastic. This boutique resort is right next to the main route, close to pubs, clubs and restaurants: only 5mins walk into coco bongo! However there’s absolutely no sound that was nice. I think you would like the resort even with no jacuzzi. Everything was very clean. I would […]
This Hidden Gem with Romantic upscale feel was outstanding in service and excellent in food
We were disappointed to learn the Napa Grill had shut as part of a huge renovation in the Presidente. The great news is that the replacement, Faro Blanco, is exceptional also! The short-rib and red snapper entrees were all amazing. Additionally, the ceviche and Thai beef appetizers were quite good also. Service remains terrific. Staying […]

KUTA BEACH: I DON’T HATE IT HERE
Kuta seems to be one of those mystical places that people either love or hate. Reading about it as I decided whether or not we wanted to spend time here, I pictured a whirl of McDonalds restaurants and cheap bars frequented by skin cancer tanned white people with tattoos and braids. I did not envision […]
FIVE DAYS IN UBUD
We spent five days in Ubud eating, praying and loving, aka wandering around among the independent women in their mid-thirties wearing flowing clothes and not needing a man to complete them. From what I had read and heard from others, I pictured Ubud as a place I would fit in, and when we left Kuta […]
SURVIVAL TIPS FOR SACRED MONKEY FOREST, UBUD
Ubud’s Sacred Monkey Forest is temple complex and natural reserve which is home to over six hundred long tailed macaques. We visited the Monkey Forest in Ubud twice during the few days we were there. Of all the places we visited in Bali, I think this was Sam’s favourite. They are a fairly confident bunch and certainly not […]
KOREAN AIR STOPOVER SITUATION
Some of you may not be aware that I am an international flight wizard. If I had a very mild superpower, it would probably be hooking up sweet as cheap flights. Once, a friend of a friend was bragging to me about how she found return flights to Delhi for $2400, and much to her […]
ONE DAY STOPOVER IN SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA
I’m on board my second 10+ hour flight in two days on the way to Paris, and eventually, at some weird hour of the night (or morning, depending where you are), Dublin, so thought I could fill you in on my very brief visit to South Korea. I had just less than 24 hours in […]
