Pak Webee

We just got back from a very relaxing and wonderful vacation in Bali. Having Pak Webee to help us get around Bali definitely enhanced our experience very much. Pak Webee was very nice, honest and most importantly he was a good driver. He was a dependable and clearly knows Bali very well. Well, he is from Bali after all. He was quick to learn what we liked or which spots we wanted to avoid and gave recommendations accordingly.

One day he stopped the car on a countryside road so we could view the three highest mountains in Bali- Gunung Batur, Gunung Batukaru and Gunung Abang. It was the perfect spot to see all the three mountains. Another day, he pulled over and walked us to a perfect spot so that we could enjoy a very beautiful valley overlooking two lakes. He was very knowledgeable and patiently showed us around. We never had to worry about whether or not he would show up or he would be on time. He always came early to our hotel in Ubud. It was great to have someone as dependable as Pak Webee. If we return to Bali, we will definitely want Pak Webee to be our driver again. We highly recommend him.

The Viceroy, Ubud, Bali

We were so pleased with our 5-night stay at this idyllic place. Staying at this hotel really made our vacation in Bali incredibly relaxing. We chose this place for its serene and tranquil atmosphere, in contrast to Kuta, Legian, or other locations that usually come with a lot of tourists and noises. The fact that it was a small property and not a chain hotel was a real plus. Its location couldn't have been more perfect. Nestled at Lembah valley, this small resort is surrounded by rainforest and rice paddies, a truly wonderful romantic gateway for those of us who enjoy absolute privacy and appreciate a quiet spot. 

Although it is located in a very private and serene setting, the hotel was also within easy reach of central Ubud. The Viceroy provides a free shuttle that took us back and forth from the town center per our own schedule. You gotta love that :-) The entire experience was extraordinary. The spa was soothing; the infinity pool was refreshing and peaceful; the views were magnificent. And the staff was tremendously friendly and helpful; they always greeted us by name. We were told that all 11 villas were occupied when we were there, but we hardly saw anyone. They served a great breakfast, which we never missed during our stay. Their lunch was not bad either. This place was truly an idyllic place for vacation! 


Some of delicious meals we really enjoyed ....

Ngiring Wedang, Traditional Bali Coffee

So after spending our morning in Bedugul enjoying the beautiful Lake Bratan and Ulun Danu Temple, we told Pak Webee that we wanted to have lunch at a spot that wouldn’t be too touristy and if possible a spot with a great view. He drove us up on a narrow road towards a ridge over looking lakes Buyan and Tamblingan. Along the way, we were wowed by the view of these two lakes beautifully framed by so much greenery and wild flowers. We breathed wonderfully fresh air and appreciated the quietness of the surrounding area. So serene. Even a group of monkeys seemed to enjoy it as well. They just sat quietly on the curb watching cars by.

Roasting Process

Pak Webee took us to a place called Ngiring Wedang Restaurant and Villa on the ridge in Munduk Village in North bali. The place was nice and clean, overlooking the wide valley of rice terraces opening to the ocean. According to Pak Webee, on a clear day you can see part of Mt Rinjani in Lombok. The food at the restaurant wasn’t bad, but the coffee was terrific! They serve simple Indonesian food and some limited western food. I don't remember what I ate, but I do remember the view. And my husband remembers the coffee! He usually adds plenty of milk and sugar to his coffee, but the coffee here was so good that he drank it without either. Clearly people come here to enjoy the view and the restaurant's home-made coffee. The restaurant roasts and grinds the coffee beans by hand using traditional equipment. Their coffee is picked from their own coffee plantation across the street from the restaurant. Talk about fresh coffee! It is not a big coffee roasting company so they roast their coffee daily in small batches. I am not a coffee drinker and only tasted a sip here and there. We bought their Arabica fresh bean for our coffee-drinker friends at home. And they liked the coffee very much.
