What it was like
Food: Food portions are a lot smaller in Bali and service is usually quite slow. You can be waiting for meals for a long time.
Where to stay: I am pleased we tried different places out, with a lot of the the instagrammable spots being spread out across Bali. I would recommend if you are staying for over a week to try accommodation out in different areas such as Seminyak, Ubud, Canggu or Bingin- because it is awfully painful riding on mopeds for over an hour!
Cost: It is also important to note actually how cheap Bali is, as we stayed in Bali for over two months and wanted to make the most out of our money. So we mainly eat at cheap restaurants. So you can 100% look at saving money while being here. You can also take advantage of places like Finns Beach Club which to us seemed expensive, but cocktails are cheaper than London rates. Depends how cheap you want to go.

Any advice
Food: If you are wanting to save those pennies make sure to check the service charge, which is usually highlighted on the menu. This caught us out several times and can add a fair bit to the bill!
Beach safety: The waves can actually be more challenging then they look. One time we pulled up and some tourists were walking a long the front of the beach and were caught by a wave and ended up being pulled out to sea, luckily the boys went and grabbed them as they didn’t know how to swim!
