Hotels
We stayed at hotels that range from Php 1000 – 1500/per
night. There are of course cheaper and some more expensive hotels
than that price range. If you are to
choose a hotel, I suggest you check out the reviews online like the ones on Tripadvisor.
Personally, our decisions are greatly influenced by the reviews posted by other fellow travelers online. Don’t forget to look out for credit card promos when you book through online hotel bookings such as Agoda and Expedia. You can get around 7-10% more discount when you apply these promo codes.
The hotels we would love to stay at again are Hotel Flora Kuta at Jl. Bakungsari and Ohana Hotel along Jl. Kubu Anyar I.

Shopping outlets
A must-visit for me during every Bali trip are the
outlet shops. I am fortunate to have a
boyfriend who doesn’t necessarily dislike shopping and enjoys good deals. There are outlet stores such as Billabong, Rip Curl and Hurley along Jl. By Pass Ngurah Rai road.
It’s a swimsuit haven for me.
I once bought a pair of Billabong swimsuit for only IDR 50000, around Php 170! Shirts, board shorts, rash guard and surf board accessories can be bought at IDR 50000 and up.

Food
Satay Ayam, Beef Rendang, Lontong, and Nasi Goreng are
among our favourite Indonesian dishes.
Beef Rendang at Flora Kuta Hotel is a must-try, but the Warung Masakan Pandang along Jl. Pantai Kuta is pretty good too. Sate Ayam from any Warung Madura is pretty delicious. We can get 10 sticks of Sate Ayam at IDR10000 - 15000 around Php 30-45 and 1 piece of Beef Rendang for IDR 15000 or about Php 45.

For snacks and drinks, we buy them at the supermarkets at Foodmart at Matahari (Kuta Square) and Carrefour (Sunset Road). You save a few IDR than buying at convenience stores.
Surfing
Our main reason for going to Bali is surfing. We love
to surf and Kuta Beach is perfect for surfers just starting out.
There are many surf board rentals along the beach. You can rent one for IDR 150000/hour. If you are thrifty, you can rent a board at the shops along Jalan Poppies 2 for about IDR 50000/day or Php 170/day, but you will have to carry the board itself to the beach.
With negotiating skills in action, my boyfriend was able to bring down our surf board rental for IDR 50000/day at the beach. We’ve been coming back to rent boards from him for 2 years now and he kept our rental price the same as the last time.

Scooter/car rentals
Scooter rental per day is IDR 60000 or about a little
over Php 200.
We don't usually drive a scooter or motorcycle back home and driving one can be a scary experience in Bali. Aside from so many scooters/motorcycles on the road, there are also some inexperienced ones that lead to a few accidents.
We prefer to rent a car/van which is about IDR 185000, around Php 600. On two occasions we rented a car, we drove to Tanah Lot, Dreamland and Padang Padang.

Souvenirs
We often buy souvenirs and shirts at Krisna along Sunset Road and from the stores at Tanah Lot, respectively. Shirts at Tanah Lot can be
bought for as low as IDR 13000 that’s about Php 43-45 only.
On our last trip, we discovered that we don’t have to go
all the way back to Tanah Lot to buy those shirts but there are already souvenir
shops along Jl. Raya Kuta that sell shirts even less than IDR 13000! Sarongs,
beach wear, bags, coffee and some delicacies can be bought here too. It is also a plus since it's walking distance
to the hotels where we stayed.
