Naturist Gecko Resort

Bali Belly? 峇裡島肚?

Yes, it is true. Despite being very careful, not eating street food and drinking only bottled beverages, I was still infested by Salmonella and had diarrhea for three days. My situation was putted under control only after treatment in local hospital. Please consult your physician before your trip and if possible, bring along diarrhea pills and antibiotics with you.

是的,它是真實的。 儘管我非常小心,不吃街頭小吃,只喝瓶裝飲料,但我仍然感染沙門氏菌,腹瀉了三天。 經過當地醫院治療後,我的情況才得到控制。 請在旅行前諮詢您的醫生,如果可能,請隨身攜帶止瀉藥和抗生素。

Location 地點

Located on the southern tip of Bali Island, Naturist Resort Gecko is about 16km from Bandar Udara Internatsional I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport (DPS). However, because Denpasar city traffic is usually chaotic at best, it would be best to allow 45 minutes traveling time. As such, I would not recommend renting a car. It would be much better just use Grab or Gojek to call a ride instead.
Since Bali is a holiday island, you can easily find a café or small diner nearby regardless of where you stay. This is true for Gecko as well even though it is located off the main street.

Naturist Resort Gecko位於峇裡島南端,距離Bandar Udara國際機場(DPS)約16公里。 然而,由於登巴薩城市交通通常很混亂,因此最好留出45分鐘的行駛時間。 因此,我不建議租車。 最好使用 Grab 或 Gojek 叫車。
由於峇裡島是一個度假島,無論您住在哪裡,您都可以輕鬆找到附近的咖啡館或小餐廳。 對於 Gecko 來說也是如此,儘管它位於主要街道之外。

Environment 環境

Gecko Resort is a cozy establishment with 4 guest bungalows, 1 dining area and 1 owner’s house surrounding a swimming pool.

Gecko Resort 是一家舒適的飯店,設有 4 間客用平房、1 間用餐區和 1 間游泳池周圍的業主住宅。

I would say the swimming pool is an mid-sized one, a bit small for swimming but large enough for floating around on a floater while having a cold drink.

我想說的是,游泳池是一個中等大小的游泳池,對於游泳來說有點小,但足夠大,可以在漂浮物上漂浮,同時喝點冷飲。



   

Guest Room 客房

As for the guest bungalows, all are in reasonable size, large bed and spacious toilet/shower area. We stayed in gecko themed bungalow, the other 3 themes are – monkey, dolphin and turtle.

至於客用平房,所有房間均大小合理,配有大床和寬敞的衛生間/淋浴區。 我們住的是壁虎主題平房,其他三個主題是 ── 猴子、海豚和海龜。

 

Dining 用餐

Resort kitchen serves only breakfast from 8 to 10 and drinks all day. For lunch and/or dinner, you will have to order from nearby diners. The best way is to using Gojek. If you do not have a Gojek account, you can ask the staffs to help ordering food for you.

度假村廚房僅在 8 點至 10 點供應早餐,並全天供應飲料。 對於午餐和/或晚餐,您必須從附近的食客訂購。 最好的方法是使用 Gojek。 如果您沒有Gojek帳戶,您可以請工作人員幫您訂餐。

Experience 體驗

The resort is close to the airport and major city but with no view. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a good stay.

度假村靠近機場和主要城市,但看不到風景。工作人員很友好,樂於助人。總的來說,我們住得很愉快。

Location 地點

Located on the northern side of Bali Island, Bali Natur is about 94km away from Bandar Udara Internasional I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport. Thanks to congested Bali traffic, it will take you about 3 to 4 hours to make the trip. Since you will be passing Pura Ulun Danu Beratan Bedugul and Danau Buyan (Twin Lakes) on your way, you should take the opportunity visiting these sights.

Bali Natur 酒店位於峇裡島北側,距離 Bandar Udara International I Gusti Ngurah Rai 機場約94公里。由於峇裡島交通擁堵,大約需要3至4小時才能到達。由於您將在途中經過布拉坦水神廟雙湖,我建議您應該抓住機會參觀這些景點。

Environment 環境

Bali Natur Resort is a cozy establishment with 4 guest rooms, a decent swimming pool, a small garden, dining area and owner’s house.

Bali Natur Resort 是一家舒適的飯店,擁有 4 間客房、一個不錯的游泳池、小花園用餐區和老闆的房子。

Swimming pool is in decent size and is good for both swimming and floating around on floater. You can enjoy a great coast line view on guest room patio, swimming pool and 2nd floor dining area. Guest rooms are small but sufficient with all basic facilities plus patio for you to enjoy beautiful sunset view.

游泳池大小合適,適合游泳和漂浮在漂浮物上。您可以在客房露臺、游泳池和二樓用餐區欣賞美麗的海岸線景觀。客房雖小,但基本設施齊全,還有露臺可供您欣賞美麗的日落景色。

Guest Room 客房

 Guest room is of no surprise and came with all basics. Roughly facing northwest, you can enjoy beautiful sunset view on your patio.
客房雖小,但基本設施齊全,還有露臺可供您欣賞美麗的日落景色。



 Dining 用餐

Using only fresh ingredient from local market limited your choice on dishes everyday. Some items on their menu may not be available all the time. You can always tell the owner on your choice of dish and she will do her best to gather the required ingredient. If you like to dine outside, the resort is only a few minutes walk from nearby main street and many diners. Do note that the resort is located on the hill side so the walk up is rather strenuous. You will be much more comfortable calling a ride using Gojek or Grab instead.

僅使用當地市場的新鮮食材限制了您每天對菜餚的選擇。他們菜單上的某些項目可能不是恆常供應。您可以隨時告訴老闆您選擇的菜餚,她會盡力收集所需的食材。如果您喜歡在戶外用餐,度假村距離附近的主要街道和許多餐廳僅有幾分鐘的步行路程。請注意,度假村位於山坡上,因此步行相當費力。使用 Gojek 或 Grab 叫車會比較舒服。

Experience 經驗

Owner, her family and other guests were exceptionally helpful when they knew I had diarrhea. The owner and her brother drove me to the hospital and spend hours with me as translator, explaining my situation to the local doctor and vice versa. Million thanks to their help.

當老闆、她的家人和其他客人知道我腹瀉時,他們都非常樂於助人。老闆和她的弟開車送我去醫院,並花了幾個小時作為翻譯陪伴我,向當地醫生解釋我的情況,反之亦然。萬分感謝他們的幫助。
