YTL Tembok Bali - Farewell

And all good things will come to an end, so does my Bali trip at YTL Tembok. You may check the rest of the part HERE. It was like a hard pill to swallow, coz i really felt so peace here. I meant most of my trips involving a lot of sightseeing, walking, and more walking and more sight seeing..(which i have no complain) but this trip has really change my perception all together. i pretty much doing nothing but relaxing and chilling, almost grips my mind and soul into pure serene.

The foyer/lobby

The villas at night

Dinner was delicious especially the chicken and dessert

Dinner the night before was wonderful. The sound of the wave, the whisper of the wind and the stars glowing that night, i just wish i could freeze it. Anyway, i do hope YTL will continue with their good job and friendly gesture. Like Fauzi said, "we do our part not only with our hands but with our heart!" that really hit me and inspiring. They made me realized that the culture are very much preserved here and the value of giving are being appreciated. We dont hv to worry anything on our belonging.we really feel safe and we even left our laptops / handphone by the gazebo the whole day for other activities and came back seeing all those items untouched. It was the trust and secure feeling plus your hospitality that we really feel being treatment like an VVIP.

The next morning, I decided to watch the sun rise! So as early as 630am, we waited for the magical moment and thank god i was not disappointed. It was breathtaking. Love it to the bits. 

The sunrise that I'm waiting for. And the 'tarantula' boat, a normal day for the fisherman

I love the shinning sun!

Then breakfast was served. Later we tried jamu making (one of the activities offered that day). The rest of the few hours, we just chill and relax by the poolside. Since our flight is only at night, we had lunch before checked out.

The poolside during daytime

Splashing time.

Lotus flower blossom so beautifully

Jamu making activity. These are the simple ingredients, Palm sugar, tamarind and ginger

After 10 minutes boiling, it is ready to be served

The jamu making was simple. mix all the ingredients and boil it for 10 minutes. Filter it and voila, ready to serve. Jamu is basically the traditional energy booster and also proven for good complexion among ladies. :) Later lunch were served which was also the last meal before we leave this paradise. sad..

The delicious portion

You dont get any better than this. overlooking the Mountain and Sea on each opposite

Be my guest, drink all u want

ready for some swim? water are pretty cold which makes it so nice to swim on a sunny day

The wantilan restaurant.

You can chill, sun tanning, read a book or just doze..:)

The great thing about this place is that privacy is very much being prioritize here. Guess what..even Kiera Knightley of Pirates of the Carribean fame was here before. Check out her comment HERE 

PIcture perfect to me ..it is!

Hey there, wassup??

The water is so chill, time for a dip

Well, its time to say goodbye..with the lovely YTL  Resident Manager, Wati Sharron Hopley here

Then as we waved goodbye to the staff over there, the lovely YTL Resident Manager, Wati Sharron Hopley introduced herself before walk us out to the mini van. The driver, Sogeng took us around Kintamani and some short tour before sending us to Jimbaran for dinner. We also went to this place where coffee luak and chocolate was produced. Coffee luak was said to be the most expensive coffee in the world. I still wonder coz i dont drink coffee / tea.

The place where the produced Kopi LUAK. Slightly cold over here. nice!

overlooking the Kintamani mountain are simply indescribable. It is majestic and mystique. Well plus point with the legend and tales that sometimes are better left unsaid.

Kintamani mountain

This is a must visit for the locals, i think tourist shall too coz it is much more cheaper than other market

Jimbaran sunset

The sunset at Jimbaran was magnificent. The place seems so crowded, it was like this during my first visit here almost 6 years ago and it is still now. But the food getting pricey with simply 3 dishes like this already cost almost RM120. oh well, the ambience however was pretty dramatic when 3 guyz with their guitars streaming some love songs along the shore for all the patrons of the restaurants.

This simple 3 dishes cost RM120..dont go there!!

I rather eat the corn for dinner . LOL

 Thank you so much for one of the best weekend I have ever had in my life. Even though it was a short trip but I'm sure it will lasts for a long time in my soul. :) i hope i could have chance to experience other YTL hotels around the world because I love traveling and blog about it with photos, videos and even tell it to the readers sincerely from the bottom of my heart. :) thank you once again!

 

Last but not least, I would like to take the opportunity to thank you GUARDIAN MALAYSIA for this golden opportunity and of course AF TRAVEL for the arrangement. YTL Tembok Bali, let me just end this with a simple sign called LOVE. :) 

YTL TEMBOK BALI -admiring the sunset

Hye peeps, thanks for visiting my blog today. As promised here are some photos meeting with the local kids and people of the nearby fishing village. If you missed the earlier post, please feel free to check it out Part 1 and Part 2. Most of the kids are shy but the minute the camera were pointed at them, they are pretty ease at posing for us. The black sands are quite rough this time around, according to Fauzi (supervisor of YTL Tembok Bali) at certain months, it will turn into soft powdery liked. I love how they designed the boats here. It reminds me of creepy crawlers especially the tarantula. Hehehe..oh well maybe it was just me.

The cool design boat..almost tarantula like

These kids are so shy especially the boy, he's like freezing himself..check out his lastic..heheh

Apparently black gold can be found here..neah...

It was nice meeting friendly locals..except for the far left..he is from Paris..Coma so va?

friendly bunch of people..especially the boy in the centre with peace handsign. 'Gambar kita akan masuk MALAYSIA!!!!"

It was also very entertaining talking to these 'makcik' .her comical reaction burst laughter in the silence of that evening. She even asked if she look nice in the photo after I snapped them.

The makciks that sell some snacks

the sunset..seems like the sun shying away slowly

bye bye little sun

and the night started to penetrate the resort..the lighting seems perfect for my eyes

And there..a couple has reserved for a candlelight dinner by the poolside

Stars are less visible tonite..but it is equally beautiful as yesterday

the entrance with bamboo trees..very ZEN

The BUDDHA heads decor

Honestly I am the type that love to have so many activities/things to do in my travel list, but i came to realize that sometime we just need to slow down and back to basics while be in awe of the beauty surround us. I guessed YTL TEMBOK Bali has it own distinctive aura that we could only feel once we are there. Don't trust me? well..come here for yourself to believe it.

Oh ya, im not done with the post of the whole trip yet, and no im not trying to create any sequel like the harry porter series either. So wait for my next post for more of Tembok Bali that has capture my heart curiously!

YTL Tembok Bali - Paradise Day 2

How do you feel waking up in an environment like this -if not everyday at least for a day? Simply indescribably feeling. 

one hand holding the camera and another holding a glass of chilled orange juice..aaaahhhh

The bursting energy of peacefulness are not only everywhere to be seen but to be felt, effortlessly. I must admit, my brain are in the verge of massive influx of inspiration while i admire the beauty of this paradise..YTL TEMBOK BALI...

Rise and shine..its time for breakfast at Wantilan Restaurant 

Yummylicious breakkie and boy i was stuffed!

 We taste only fresh food as it was prepared with love. Its not only made using natural ingredients but the staff can actually recommend and explain to us based on our food liking. Hendra and Adry were really good and their warm hospitality makes us feel like home. Hendra even bought cendol from nearby stall for us and we only found out after Adry told us as he was off duty for his birthday that day. We couldn't be more thankful for the added service value by your staff. Adry also shared some of interesting stories in YTL Tembok since he started working there. Witnessing dolphins and whale by the shore (we were shocked to know that! makes us want to come back and see it for ourselves) They always come to each guest tables and ask if they could offer anything. very pleasing and helpful. Highly recommend both of them for promotion. :)

Breakfast are served

After scrumptious breakfast, i joined some of their activities scheduled for all guests on daily basis. They cater from weaving, cooking class, Lontar, YOGA, jamu making and many mores. There would not be any dull moment here.

Let's try some weaving ..one of the activities after breakfast

I probably lost my sense of creativity as the only weaving i know is to weave ketupat..but that was like ages ago when i was staying in kampung. But it sure bring back some memories reflections.

Chilling on a hammock

Next activity spa and facial..my spa therapist will explain before doing what she does best

Fresh and natural ingredients used..i feel super fresh after that

i was the only one tried this LONTAR activities. drawing on a palm tree.and i took it back as a souvenier..hehehe

some drawing skills here

The spa therapy took almost 50 minutes..with the soothing music background, I could easily doze off in relaxation.

Its time to relax by the swimming pool

as i am resting peacefully here, one of the staff will get us to try the Jamu..like a energy booster.

so serene and peaceful here

walk by the beach..notice the black sand..yup..its the black sand sea

swimming has been breeze..the water is pretty chill

Gym facilities

some artwork painting by the staff and guests

little detailed thing like this added the decor of this place.

like a postman, Hendra passing some items to the boat man

Wait for my next post on meeting the locals at the nearby fishing village and enjoying my fetish on witnessing the sunset.
