Blue Point Bay Bali

So below are the pictures from our resort when we were in Bali last. The Blue Point Bay sits on a cliff so from the restaurant and the pool you get some amazing views of the ocean and full view of Bali's spectacular sunsets. We spent the majority of the time by the pool as it is probably the best feature of the hotel. The breakfast buffet was so-so (Novotel in Bogor does it way better) and the staff were friendly but brief (just how I like it) so you can keep some privacy yet have service at a moment's notice. The place itself was well away from the tourist area and foreigners we saw were only surfers so it was really so handy for us to hire a motorcycle while we were in town because to get a taxi out there is quite pricey (about 150rp to get to town). I think it would be so much fun to come here with a big group or a coupley weekend because you are really away from markets and tourists and you can easily just spend all day at the villa.
The villa we had were double storey but we mainly stayed downstairs.

The only downside (I'm not sure for who) would be the wedding chapel next to the pool. When we were there there was an average of 2 weddings a day so it became a daily thing of.."hmm wonder who is getting married today?". It was rather awkward though having the married couple stand next to you to have their photos taken but the couple mostly didn't mind so I guess we didn't either.
The little house with the red roof is the spa. Every guest gets a complimentary foot or shoulder/head massage. It was rather nice inside but unfortunately they only have 5 staff and a long list of guests wanting to have treatments so the queues can be rather long. The guy who runs it is the receptionist/host/admin/reflexology guy so please be patient with him. When we went in there for a reflexology he had some really rude customers because they didn't want to wait.
