5 Mistakes to Avoid at Nusa Dua Beach Resort: First Timer Must Read

5 Mistakes to Avoid at Nusa Dua Beach Resort: First Timer Must Read

Staying in beach resort is one of the perfect way to spend a relaxing holiday in Bali. Pampered by complete services with top-notch hospitality, resort makes vacation feels easy. When you plan a stay in Nusa Dua beach resort, you pay a single cost and have access to an abundance of food, drink, and entertainment. Isn’t it simple? It certainly is, but there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that your all-inclusive vacation runs as smoothly as possible — especially if you’re new to this sort of travel.

Assuming that Everything in the Nusa Dua Beach Resort is Included

The term “all-inclusive” may lead you to assume that everything is included, however this is rarely the case. At a resort, you may be charged extra for items like select restaurants, excursions, activities, spa services, Wi-Fi, premium booze, and room service. Even if all of these are included, you will almost certainly have to pay extra for airline, luggage fees, airport transportation, and resort costs.

Before planning an all-inclusive trip, do your homework to find out what is and isn’t included. Some resorts are more all-inclusive than others, so keep this in mind while comparing rates.

Not Learning How the Beach Resort Works 

Assuming that Everything in the Nusa Dua Beach Resort is Included

Each resort has nuances that must be grasped fast in order to get the most out of your vacation, such as meal reservations. Some resorts allow you to make restaurant reservations ahead of time or upon check-in, while many require you to make reservations each morning for that evening. If this appears to be the case at your resort, you’ll need to figure out where to make reservations, which restaurants have a fee, and what time you may start making reservations each morning.

You’ll also want to learn the hours of operation for restaurants, pools, pubs, and activities. A schedule of events, as well as a map of the resort, should be posted or available in your accommodation.

Not Having Enough Cash Ready for Tipping

It is not customary to leave a gratuity tip in Bali. It’s definitely appreciated if you do, but it’s not deemed impolite if you don’t. In general, most hotels and restaurants include a service charge in their rates, so you do not need to tip. However, if you are treated very well or if you request a favor, it is preferable to leave a tip. Typically, a few bucks are left for the pleasant bartender who makes your drinks, the restaurant waiters who hustle to deliver hot meals at your table, the housekeeping crew who leaves you towel animals on your bed every night, and the bell employees who handle your baggage.

Booking in the Wrong Season

Imagine planning up your beach vacation in Bali only to get big rains and thunderstorms for days. Be sure to check the season in Bali before booking your Nusa Dua beach resort. It’s also a goof idea to check the dates of local and national holidays. Many resorts might get busy on certain days because they give day passes or annual passes to local residents. Unless you’re visiting during the offseason to take advantage of reduced rates, you should avoid the wet and humid seasons.

Not Make Time to Explore the  Nusa Dua Beach Resort

This is your vacation, so spend it anyway you want. And if you find a favorite place at the pool for relaxing, or a favorite breakfast restaurant with Balinese jam and fresh breads, and put it on repeat daily until it’s time to go home. Especially when you have visited Bali several times, taking tours to all the temples and beaches. You might want to spend this time in the Nusa Dua beach resort to be just quiet relaxing time. 

However, we do recommend that you take the time to explore the resort and its surrounding. That involves searching for the best places to read a book—maybe in the beach bed or the lounge chair.  Maybe it’s trying the sunrise yoga class. You can also pay a visit to the resort’s tour desk, where the receptionist can sign you up to off-property adventures like snorkeling, banana boating, water sports, or even 

Not Checking Booking Options

Usually, you can book directly paying cash rates, directly using reward nights or points, through a credit card portal, or through an online travel agent. And, as several of my prior recommendations have demonstrated, no single booking method is usually the best option. Think about all of your alternatives.
