The Bali trip with the Apurva Kempinski and Padma Ubud resorts was outstanding. The Kempinski resort was beautifully designed with traditional Balinese architecture in the lobby areas which highlighted the facility. We stayed in an ocean front cliffside suite which was large and roomy with a personal plunge pool. Having club level access and amenities made the stay an oasis -- separate breakfast dining area and two hour Happy Hour each evening with free cocktails. The private one-day driver was great, but to reach most of the sights took 1-2 hours, so you need to plan carefully on outside excursions. The Padma Ubud resort was definitely more for relaxation in the mountains. There is a wonderful pool for relaxation, and the food was great. Would have desired another 24 hours here since one day was spent sightseeing. A massage was available at both resorts as part of the package and it was well done at both facilities.

We were very satisfied with our trip and everything was as advertised. The only recommendation was a little more communication before the trip.

I loved the Padma resort in Ubud. The spa service was fantastic. The Japanese restaurant was excellent. I loved the beautiful pool. The included privates driver was excellent and spent a wonderful day going to waterfalls and temples around Ubud. The Kempinski resort beach was not good. You could not swim in the ocean at the resort. The voucher system for food at the restaurants felt uncomfortable to use. When using the vouchers for dinner, it did not include any drinks. I understand having to pay for soft drinks or alcoholic beverages, but water/tea was not included and also had to be paid for. The service staff was wonderful but the Kempinski felt a little pretentious to me. I would not go back to that resort.

The first hotel was excellent. Parma was too far out of the way. Had huge storm so could not walk the grounds. For honey mooner would be ok. 2 singles, boring. Wish Parma was first as we got spoiled at kempski

My friend and I purchased the Bali package from VIP Traveler. We stayed at 2 different resorts and both were amazing with spectacular views and service. We were truly treated like VIP not only by the resort staff but also the chauffeurs and airport transportation services that were a part of the package. The only mix up we had is that after the deal is expired, we could not go back and view the other details of the trip "the fine print" and the travel voucher was very confusing since it contained both hotels information. However, it did get cleared up. I have already recommended this company to many of my friends and excited to go on my Maldives trip I booked with them.
