club med bali reviewClub Med Bali Review - BYOkids travel guru Nicolette recently visited Club Med Bali and just loved it. Here is her review. The first feeling you get as you turn into the driveway and arrive at the security checkpoint of Club Med Bali is safety. The large but friendly guards check your arrival vehicle and bags, all the time being courteous and smiling. After security is satisfied, they
it a switch which allows the two solid metal posts to lower through the driveway to allow your vehicle through. We were greeted by a man with polite speak, fresh cool towels and a refreshment drink as we waited to be checked in.
