I didn’t feel like sitting in traffic for nearly two hours on the morning of our departure from Bali, so instead booked to stay in a hotel near the airport the day before. We left Ubud around midday and arrived at 2 pm to The Patra. We were pleasantly surprised by this resort as we were taken by buggy to our upstairs villa. Once again we were given a free upgrade, although I didn’t hold my breath after what happened before!
Not at all disappointed! A possible new place to stay for future trips to Bali.
After offloading our cases I wanted to just get to the pool for a swim and a read, Anthony headed off for a walk along the promenade. This hotel is just a five minute drive to the airport but away from the busy streets of Kuta itself.
The Pool and Gardens
The resort is huge with numerous two floor villas in blocks surrounding the gardens. Going back and forth to the pool and restaurant we did get lost numerous times.
The Beach and Promenade
This statue sits somewhat incongruously on the edge of the ocean, just rising out of the sea.
We enjoyed our one night stay here and the next day we headed off to pastures new…

Good move….a pleasing resort instead of getting out of bed early just to sit in a traffic jam.

The Patra Resort looks an attractive and peaceful place to stay in Bali. I’ll remember it in case we decide to return to the island Alison. Hope you have a good weekend.

Looks like a great choice, with a lovely room 🙂 And I have to say I’m rather drawn to that statue of Varuna even though it is a bit over the top!

Bali is a popular destination and your photos are testament to why that is so. I am afraid it is too hot for me though. I prefer cooler destinations.

Bali is beautiful. I’ve heard that before, but you have living proof. The room is ever exquisite. It reminds me of Hawaii until you get to the statue and the boats on the water. How fun!

I wonder if that statue will stand the test of time, with the harsh conditions, salt and sun

Probably not for long. I’m sure the sun is really strong, and as you say, there are other conditions as well. But while it is there, it is so cute! Like a sand castle, it won’t last forever.
