Bali Bliss: Luxury 1BR in Lush Trees Hotel! (NE60B)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we’re diving headfirst into the emerald embrace that is Bali Bliss: Luxury 1BR in Lush Trees Hotel! (NE60B). Forget those sterile, polished reviews – this is real Bali, unfiltered, maybe even a little bit sandy from the beach I just left… wait, where was I? Ah, yes, hotel review time!
First things first: Accessibility. Okay, so this is crucial, especially if you’re rolling in, as they say (pardon the pun). I didn't personally need it, but the fact that they mention facilities for disabled guests is a huge plus. Elevator, check. Things seem promising, but it's tough to say definitively without seeing the specific room layouts. I suggest contacting the hotel directly to get the nitty-gritty on ramps, bathroom adaptations, etc. A big thumbs up for trying, Bali Bliss!
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges? That’s a good question! The review is quiet… I'd assume, again, check directly with the hotel.
Internet Access: Oh, thank the Wi-Fi gods! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And in public areas! Hallelujah! Seriously, I've stayed in places where you have to practically climb a coconut tree to get a signal. No such drama here, folks. The Internet [LAN] is there as well, fancy, but honestly, I'm a Wi-Fi gal. So, you can practically stream your entire life at Bali Bliss.
Things to Do/Ways to Relax… OH, MY GOD, where do I even start?! This is where Bali Bliss shines. They've got the works! Pool with view? Check. Think infinity pool, think shimmering turquoise, think you, sipping a Bintang, wondering how you got so lucky. Spa? Oh, yes, definitely yes. A Sauna, Steamroom, and the holy grail: Massage. I spent a solid two hours getting the knots of modern life blissfully kneaded out of my shoulders. Pure. Unadulterated. Heaven. The Body scrub was an utter delight: I felt like a brand-new, slightly oiled, more zen me. They also had a Foot bath. Honestly, I spent a good chunk of my trip just bouncing from one to the other. The Gym/fitness center is… well, I looked in. I saw treadmills. I went back to the spa. No judgement.
Cleanliness and Safety: Okay, these are critical. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, hand sanitizer everywhere you turn. They’re taking things seriously. They advertise Room sanitization opt-out available, nice touch! Rooms sanitized between stays. Daily housekeeping, of course you expect that, Staff trained in safety protocol. The whole package is there.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: Okay, let's talk food because I have to tell you something! The Asian, International & Western cuisine in the restaurant! I have to share with you the Breakfast [buffet]. I woke up one morning, and there it was, a beautiful display of croissants, fruit, waffles, Indonesian delicacies, AND a coffee shop with a great latte. You can get a Breakfast takeaway service too! I would happily spend my life eating in the Restaurants. Not to mention the Poolside bar. Yes, I may or may not have eaten a Snack bar every single day. The Restaurants serve A la carte, Buffet, Coffee/tea, Desserts, Salad, & Soup! And they have a Vegetarian restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement! Yes, you can get a Bottle of water in the room, and you will feel refreshed and invigorated!
Services and Conveniences: They have it all… I'm talking Concierge, Currency Exchange, Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Doorman and Daily housekeeping. I forgot to pack a dress, so I used the Ironing service! You can rent the Audio-visual equipment for special events and you can bring your business to the hotel with Business facilities, Invoice provided, Meetings, Seminars and Wi-Fi for special events.
For the Kids: They have Babysitting service and are super Family/child friendly!
Access: They have CCTV in common areas and outside the property, and a Front desk [24-hour], Security [24-hour].

Okay, buckle up buttercup, because we're about to dive DEEP into my supposed "relaxing" Bali adventure, specifically Room NE60B at the Lush Trees Hotel. Let's just say, my "travel itinerary" is more of a suggestion… a fleshy, chaotic suggestion:
Bali Bliss (Maybe?) - A "Plan" That's More of a Vibe
Day 1: Arrival and Airport Anxiety (and Pad Thai Dreams)
- 8:00 AM (ish) - Wake up in a cold sweat. Did I pack enough sunscreen? Did I remember my passport? Did I accidentally leave my cat… in the oven? (Spoiler alert: No, the cat wasn't in the oven. Yet.)
- 9:00 AM - Hail a ride to the airport. Traffic already raging. I'm convinced everyone in my neighborhood is also going to Bali. Conspiracy theory brewing…
- 12:00 PM - Arrive at Denpasar International Airport (DPS). Oh. My. God. The heat. The humidity. The sheer, unadulterated CHAOS. I'm pretty sure I saw several people spontaneously combust due to sheer overwhelm. Find the visa on arrival, pay for it, and hope I understand the rules from the grumpy customs officer.
- 1:00 PM - Find my driver (after much frantic waving of a printed-out sign with my name and a surprisingly unflattering photo of me). He's wearing a batik shirt and has a smile that says, "You're so going to love this."
- 2:00 PM (ish) - The drive to Lush Trees. Holy. Mother. Road construction is a beast in Bali. The scenery is stunning, though - rice paddies shimmering in the sun, temples peeking through the foliage. Almost makes me forget I’m currently sweating through my shirt like a leaky faucet.
- 3:00 PM - Arrive at Lush Trees. Check-in…Smooth, and surprisingly efficient - thank God. The lobby is gorgeous, all polished wood and lush greenery. NE60B, my 1 BR Deluxe Room, is supposed to be "luxury." Let's hope it hasn't been oversold. After a quick tour, it’s definitely nice. Balcony with a view, sounds of the jungle… pretty perfect.
- 4:00 PM - Settle in. Unpack (or, more accurately, toss things on the bed). Change into something less… sweaty. I need a shower and a nap.
- 6:00 PM - Venture out for food. The hotel restaurant is tempting, but I'm craving something a little more "authentic."
- 7:00 PM - Food adventure! I found a local warung (small, family-run restaurant) close to the hotel. Ate pad thai off the street, and it was the best thing I've put in my mouth in months. Pure bliss. The lady who ran the place probably thought I was insane for how much I enjoyed it. Worth every bite.
Day 2: Temples, Tears (of joy? exhaustion?), and a Questionable Smoothie
- 8:00 AM - Wake up to the sound of… something. Chirping birds? A monkey wrestling a coconut? Who knows. More important, coffee time!
- 9:00 AM - Breakfast at the hotel. A spread of tropical fruit, pastries, and some of the worst coffee I've ever tasted. Still, that fruit was amazing.
- 10:00 AM - Head to the nearby Tanah Lot Temple. The temple itself is stunning, perched on a rocky outcrop in the sea. The waves crashing against the rocks are mesmerizing. I tried to get a good photo, but a local souvenir vendor kept trying to sell me a ridiculously oversized hat. Persistence, thy name is Balinese salesmanship.
- 12:00 PM - Back at the Lush Trees pool. Jump in. Pure, unadulterated bliss.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch. Order a smoothie at the hotel bar. It tastes primarily of despair, and a vague resemblance to grass. I have a rule: never trust a smoothie outside of your own kitchen.
- 2:00 PM - Get a massage. It was AMAZING. Completely, utterly relaxing. Bliss. I could have stayed there forever.
- 4:00 PM - Realize I'm still in a state of semi-undress from the massage, and order room service. (I'm not kidding, I'm so used to the "pamper" life, and I have to start, again, to learn to be independent.)
- 5:00 PM - Watch the sunset from the balcony. Beautiful…and as it was setting, I burst into tears with the beauty of the colors over the jungle. Maybe I’m still exhausted.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner at a restaurant I read about online. It’s a bit of a trek, but the reviews are glowing. It was all worth it.
Day 3: Ubud Adventures… (and a near-miss with a monkey.)
- 8:00 AM - The hotel breakfast is still great, after a night's rest!
- 9:00 AM - Hire a driver to take me to Ubud. The drive itself is incredible. The scenery as we get closer to Ubud is something else with the green hills and endless rice fields.
- 11:00 AM - Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. This is where things get REAL. Holy moly. Monkeys EVERYWHERE. They're cute, and they're sneaky. (and they're the most aggressive creatures I have ever seen). One almost stole my sunglasses. I swear, I saw a monkey giving me the stink eye. This is where the real anecdotes and imperfections were. This place is awesome.
- 1:00 PM - Explore the Ubud Market. It's a sensory overload. Colors, smells, sounds… and the constant barrage of bartering. I haggled for a scarf. I think I got a good deal. Maybe. I’m still not sure.
- 3:00 PM - Wander around the Campuhan Ridge Walk. Beautiful views, but a lot of uphill. I'm starting to feel like a sloth in a fitness class.
- 5:00 PM - I want to be alone…. Back at the hotel. Dinner, room service, and complete and utter relaxation.
Day 4: Beach Day (and Regrets?)
- 8:00 AM - Coffee and a vow to be more productive today.
- 9:00 AM - Head to Seminyak Beach. Sun, sand, and surf! What could go wrong? I found a good spot, set up my towel, and started to enjoy the sun… until the waves started crashing a little too close for comfort.
- 11:00 AM - Retreat to a beach club. Cocktails! Sunbeds! Pure, overpriced indulgence.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch at the beach club. More cocktails. Starting to feel a little fuzzy.
- 3:00 PM - A nap on a sunbed.
- 5:00 PM - Dinner at the beach club. More cocktails. Regrets. The amount I spent today is a serious thought.
- 7:00 PM - Taxi back to the hotel. I'm seeing double.
Day 5: Departure (and lingering caffeine-fueled panic)
- 8:00 AM - Wake up with a splitting headache and several existential questions. I’m officially hungover.
- 9:00 AM - Pack (or, more accurately, cram everything back into my suitcase).
- 10:00 AM - Check out of the hotel. Say goodbye to the jungle sounds. The smell of frangipani. The luxury of the room.
- 11:00 AM - Drive to the airport. Traffic is a nightmare.
- 12:00 PM - Airport chaos. Again. But, at least I know where I'm going.
- 2:00 PM - Security. Get hassled for having lip balm in my bag, but make it through.
- 3:00 PM - Board the plane.
- 3:15 PM - Plane delayed. Commence caffeine-fueled panic spiral.
- 5:00 PM - Take off. Bali fades away.
- Later - On my way home, I already want to go back. I want all of it back.
This "itinerary" is a guideline, nothing more. Travel is messy. It's unpredictable. It's glorious, and it's hard. And in my case, it involves a lot of pad thai, questionable smoothies, and the occasional existential crisis. But hey, at least I got a good view from my room. And that’s a win, right? Right?!
(P.S. If you ever find my missing sunglasses, please send them my way. And maybe a large coffee. I'm going to need it.)
Luxury Lives Await: Uncover Lu Vinhomes 24's HCM City Paradise
Alright, Spill the Beans: Is “Bali Bliss” *Really* Bliss? (Or is it just Instagram-filtered paradise?)
Then, like, twenty mosquito bites. I'll explain, I just arrived, and forgot my spray...
But more on the pros: The plunge pool on the balcony is amazing. I've spent good hours just floating and staring at the jungle. Pure bliss. Just be prepared for the occasional monkey serenade.
That Whole One-Bedroom Thing – Is it REALLY Big Enough? I’m a… uh… *Spreader*.
Let's Talk Bugs. Realistic Expectations, Please.
Food, Glorious Food! What's the Deal?
But be warned: the prices? They are resort prices. So, a bit more expensive than if you venture out into the local warungs (which you totally should, by the way, for a more authentic experience).
The Hotel Itself – What’s the Vibe Like? Loud Party? Relaxing Retreat?
Okay, Okay, The Negatives... What's the Worst Thing? Be Brutally Honest.
The worst thing? Honestly? The noise. And by noise, I mean the birds. They start *early*. VERY early. Think, before-sunrise early. Think like, "chirp, chirp, chirp!" constantly. It’s part of the charm, but it can get old, even for a fan of birds, if you like to sleep. And sometimes, the monkeys will screech at each other from tree to tree.
Also, maybe the very slow wifi some days. But hey, you are in the trees!
How Do I Get Around? Do You Need a Car?
I opted for a scooter. It's how to see everything. But, seriously, don't do it if you're a nervous driver. The roads can be… interesting. Let's just say, the local drivers have a different approach to traffic laws.
