Bali Dynasty Resort 2017 Highlights

January

We provided Solemen Car, a courtesy car to transport the needy and their families from the remote areas around Bali to the main hospital in Denpasar for treatment or diagnosis for free. The car has proven to be a massive help to Solemen’s Outreach Programme, which has now expanded to caring for over 900 ‘SoleBuddies’ around the island.

The 24th Back to Bali Dynasty Party was held at Subi Sport Bar, Western Australia, and raised AUD 4,000 for the Charity Effort to support Solemen Indonesia.

We said goodbye to Robert Kelsall, who had been the General Manager of Bali Dynasty Resort for over 17 years.

April

We welcomed Didit Indra Purnawarman as the new General Manager effective on the 1st of April 2017.

Bali Dynasty Resort’s representative Pramadi and Christine won the Prime Plaza’s Employee of the Year Award for Front and Back of the House, making it the first time for the Resort to win both of these prestigious titles at the same time.

May

Family Suites were opened for the first time. The Family Suite is set to provide more privacy and space with modern touches and comfort. The Suite features a main bedroom, a living room that can easily be converted to a secondary bedroom with pull down twin beds and pull out sofa bed, two bathrooms and a kitchenette.

We offered the Early Bird Special, which allowed guests to get discounted rates on selected room types when they booked 90 days before arrival. The Early Bird Special has been extended with travel period up to 30 June 2018.

July

We completed the project to install four community toilets and shower blocks for seven families in Desa Patas, Gerokgak, North Bali. This project has improved the safety, sanitation and quality of life for 26 people including three elderly people, one disabled adult and seven children who previously used the beach and sea as toilets.

August

We sponsored the ‘Solemen House’ in Renon, Denpasar. Fully operated by Solemen Indonesia, the house provides free accommodation for the poor and their families who live far away from the hospital, and for whom basic needs such as sleeping or bathing are a rare extravagance.

We opened a new room category called Deluxe Terrace. The room features a queen size bed and a trundle sofa bed, allowing parents and two kids aged max 12 years to sleep comfortably.

September

Bali Dynasty Resort was voted No. 1 in the 'Top 10 Best Family Resorts in Indonesia', in the 4-Star Category, in the 2017 Holidays with Kids Readers' Choice Awards. We have been included in the awards for eight consecutive years and this was the second time that we topped the list.

November

We celebrated our annual temple ceremony on 3rd November.

Bali Dynasty Resort raised in excess of IDR 410 million (over USD 30,000) for the Charity Effort, thanks to the generous donation of the guests through Back to Bali Dynasty Party, and regular fundraising during the Quiz Nights and in-the-resort activities.

Bali Dynasty Resort was awarded with Platinum II Medal and PR Simpatik Award during 2017 Tri Hita Karana (THK) Awards and Accreditation in recognition of our significant achievements in incorporating and advocating sustainable spiritual, social and environmental principles and practices to business.

December

Golden Lotus Chinese Restaurant was completely upgraded with a brand new interior, food presentation and overall standards of excellence to continue delivering an exemplary dining experience to guests of this popular Chinese eatery.

Charity Update

Bali Dynasty Resort recently stepped in to help the people who are affected by the Mount Agung volcanic eruption. These people are villagers who live within the government-declared dangerous area of 10 km from Agung’s crater (now reduced to 8 km). Bali Dynasty Resort’s help was in the form of useful goods and meal supplies, which were distributed through Bali Hotel Association and Solemen Indonesia.

Bali Dynasty Resort has also helped fund the initial treatment of Ni Putu Eka Juliyanti, aged 14, who fell from her motorbike on her way to pray at the temple. Eka suffers from brain nerve due to the collision and is under the supervision of a neurosurgeon. The collision also affected her muscle which has now become smaller and stiffer. She needs a series of Botox treatment to help relax her nerves, an ongoing process that she has to endure.

All of our support to the disadvantaged was made possible due to your generous donations to our charity effort. Thank you.

Green Bikes Bali offers a new eco-friendly way to enjoy the beautiful and unspoiled nature of Bali with their electric bike tours.

This will be a great experience as these areas were previously less accessible to cyclists due to their mountainous location.

What makes Green Bikes Bali different from other cycling tours besides being “off the beaten track” is the option to do afternoon tours in addition to the regular morning tours. All tour packages includes transfer from and to the hotel, eBikes and helmet, mineral water, professional cycling tour guide, raincoat, medical insurance, cold towel and lunch or afternoon tea at the finish point. The tours will normally take two hours and are open for anyone between 14 and 64 years of age.

Green Bikes Bali’s eBikes are of the best quality and easy to use, and therefore allow you to do the tours with as much or as little effort as you choose without losing the fun experience that a bicycle ride gives. The tour also has a 100% safety record and comes with insurance, so that you can enjoy the ride worry-free.

Explore Bali like never before with these trips. Book now at the Tour & Information Centre at the Lobby, and be entitled to up to 15% off the normal price.
