Our second week of Bali Bliss was spent at the Hai Tide Resort in Lembongan. On arrival in Mushroom Bay, we were assisted with our luggage, and shown to our beautiful Garden Lumbung. The photos online to not do justice to the charm of the beautiful thatch bungalows, or the comfort and luxury of the interior. Our garden lumbung offered loads of privacy while overlooking the second pool, which created a beautiful tropical oasis. We were pleased to have the privacy and seclusion of the garden bungalow, and waking up each morning to the sound of birds in the frangipani trees outside, with the faint crashing of waves on the shore, was sheer bliss. The attention to detail and level of cleanliness and care was second to none, with a friendly, polite and discreet team servicing and cleaning the bungalow with fresh bed linen and towels daily. The king size bed was luxurious, and the aircon in the bungalow afforded us a welcome respite from the tropical humidity of the island. The bathroom with large shower was spacious and perfect for our needs. The hotel manager, Agus, was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and after meeting us only once, remembered us by name each time he greeted us. Breakfasts at the Hai Bar & Grill were wonderful, with a fabulous choice of food, from authentic Balinese style food to full English breakfasts, or Continental offerings. The resort is so conveniently situated, with accessibility to other local restaurants and bars within walking distance, so we were able to explore other dining experiences in the evenings, or stay in the resort and eat at one of their two beautifully appointed restaurants, which both offer comprehensive menus and delicious food. We enjoyed “Happy Hour” with half price cocktails, while watching the beautiful sunsets over Mushroom Bay. We were delighted that we spent six nights at Hai Tide, which gave us enough time to explore the charming island on our hired scooter, snorkel on the beautiful coral reefs teaming with colourful tropical fish off the Mangroves, and take a boat trip to swim with Manta Rays off Penida Island too. We loved Lembongan for its laid back, casual charm. It’s quiet and rustic, with an authentic beach vibe - the perfect place to completely relax and unwind from everything. Sadly, all good things have to come to an end, but our Bali holiday was made all the more special and unique by our incredible stay at Hai Tide. It was everything we could have wished for and more. Thank you to Agus, and the friendly and helpful staff at Hai Tide. We hope we will return one day soon.
