Bali - Go Holiday! Artini 3 Cottages Hotel, Ubud

The long awaited holiday has arrived!! It has been a long stretch of stressful months for me. I was nearly giving up on this well deserved holiday because I was such in a depressed mood.
Thank GOD I didn't! ^_^

After 3 hours on the plane, it was a relief to land safely on Bali's Ngurah Rai airport. As soon as I collected my luggage, walked out from the arrival hall and was greeted by a huge group of people holding up cards written or typed out with names of guests they were to pick up.

Started searching for my name (feeling like a VIP - Very Important Princess.. ehem..ehem..). Our driver was dressed in balinese wear and we rode in a Toyota Innova to the hotel (one way transfer @ Rp 200,000/ car)

Reached Artini 3 Cottages & Spa around 11.20pm. It took the driver about 50 minutes drive from the airport to reach the hotel at Ubud. Check in was a breeze.. it was late, so they just gave us the keys and were were shown to our rooms. They said it's late and they know we were very tired after the long journey. How thoughtful =)


WELCOME!! =D
