Coronado, California, USA July 8-11, 2023 We were upgraded to a Beach View Junior suite after a bit of a snafu with the original room that we were offered. This room at the Hotel Del Coronado was a total upgrade from the prior room which had a view of the roof of the hotel, and pretty much nothing else. Definitely check out my Instagram room tour here! The thing that you notice first upon walking into this room is the…
July 8-11, 2023 The Hotel Del Coronado is truly an icon of the west coast of the USA. It’s victorian architecture and bright red roof are unmistakable. In fact, the Grand Floridian hotel at Walt Disney World is based on the Hotel Del! While the Del has undergone some massive-scale remodeling in its common areas, as well as adding entirely new buildings to the property, they still have a lot of work to do, and I believe they are shutting…
Boy, the Four Seasons resorts in Bali really know how to plan an excursion. One of my favorite activities on the whole trip was the “Ocean to Table” excursion, which was extremely special, and you can read about that here. The “Can you keep a secret” tour was no less interesting, varied, and extraordinary, and I highly recommend this tour if you are staying at Four Seasons Sayan. You really need to book in advance, though, because this is a…
When I say I had a pretty relaxing and de-stressing vacation in Bali, I mean it. You can read all about the absolutely amazing Healing Village Spa at the Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay here, where I had the incredible Baru Detox treatment. At The Four Seasons Resort in Sayan, I had two spa treatments while staying there for three nights. This resort has two separate spa areas. The first is on the ground floor of the main building. There, you…
I was really excited to write this article, because this was was one of my top dining experiences in Bali. I had heard great things about this dinner a the Four Seasons Bali Resort in Sayan, and booked it way in advance since it is only offered a few nights a week at the resort. It’s pricey, but totally worth it. Sokasi is the word for the baskets that Balinese people use to store and transport their food, mainly rice….
We booked a garden view villa at the Four Seasons Resort in Sayan to round out the second half of our “Bali, Twice the Magic” package through the Four Seasons. You can read all about the property in my overview here, and this article will focus on the villa itself. This resort is well known for its stunning architecture, and the villas themselves are no exception. The roof of each villa is actually a lotus pond, and there are even…
As I mentioned last week in my article about our private rafting tour, we were able to check in to the Four Seasons Resort, Sayan, via river raft. It was a cool way to arrive at our second resort for the trip, and gave us some really unique views of the main building of the resort from the river and pool area. This resort gets voted as the top resort on Bali, and one of the top resorts in the…
As I mentioned in my article about Four Seasons Bali, Jimbaran Bay overview, we booked the Bali – Twice the Magic Package through Four Seasons, which allowed us to stay at both Four Seasons properties in Bali. When you book this package, you have the option to check into Four Seasons Sayan via raft – which means you get dropped off at the Ayung river, the longest river in Bali, and a captain and guide take you down the river,…
Four Seasons is known throughout the world for their incredible service, luxe rooms, and high end amenities, but did you know that they also curate special tours, that will provide you with amazing memories that will last a lifetime? Well, our first experience with a Four Seasons tour was the “Ocean to Table” tour at the Four Seasons at Jimbaran Bay. I booked this tour because it combined a fun water activity (fishing) along with a cooking class, and it…
The Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay is 100% villas. If you stay here, you will have your own private enclave with a ton of space, and the differences in price are basically the views, although there are some massive 2+ bedroom villas available as well. I actually booked a Deluxe Villa, which was a partial ocean view, and this was the nicest villa you could book before the prices took a big jump. They actually upgraded us to a…
