Steps leading away from the main house. There were several statues of the Buddha in honor of Bali tradition. Each morning this statue would have a different flower in its hand. Our room was one of several off an open hallway to the dining room and great room.
The Bali House (main structure) is in background. It is set on the highest hill and has the best views. It was built after the architecture of Bali and has open archways to the patio. One morning we saw a gecko near the TV in the Great Room. Later that day we met a large turtle in the hall to our bedroom. The hammock shot above is from the end of the Great Room.
Shots of our bed and room from the balcony. Each evening the mosquito nets would be let down and each morning stored in this decorative way while we were out.
Bathroom at Bali Lo one of three separate private bedrooms on the island. The bathroom is underground and requires one to shower with the occasional gecko. It's a substitution photo for our own bathroom which we didn't photograph. We captured this one on a tour (thanks Louise and John!)
The Cliff House is in the background on this shot from the Bali High balcony. It was captured on another tour (thanks to Lucy and Tony). Both of these structures have the open bathrooms. There isn't any chance you will be spied except by those geckos or perhaps a passing boat with binoculars.
One view of the Great Room. There were several large couches and spots to lounge. The dining room was just to the right past the bar. A short staircase brings you to the second floor where there was a video game room, eclectic library, group of built in couches, and a bridge that you can just see at the top of the photo that brought you to the roof. More cushions were found there with the most amazing views.
Bar at the lower pool. You can walk up from the beach or swim to it from the other side. There were large rocks to sit on inside the pool. We drank the frothiest most delicious banana daiquiris here.
Dinner in the Great Room. This table sat 16 couples at one of our meals. We were offered two appetizer and dinner choices when we sat down. As we chose, the unnecessary silverware would be removed. The menus ranged from quail to sea bass and were always followed with excellent desserts. Wine was constantly flowing and your drink was never less then one third full.

Dinnertime was always interesting because you never knew what to expect. One night it was in the Great Room, the next on a formal table at the beach near a bonfire, followed by a casual Dim Sum meal the next night. The most unexpected was our last evening of a 'White Night 7 Course Gala' we all wore white and were greeted with ultraviolet lights and white helium balloons. Unfortunately, pictures can't do it justice. A close second was our sushi lunch in the beach pool. The sushi arrived by boat decorated with fuchsia scarves, palm leaves and orchids. We each grabbed a plate and ate by the wall in the shallow end.
