My sister and I were able to sneak out of the resort for awhile and do some shopping and we saw this cute store on the road. I was able to sneak some photos from my iPhone 🙂

There are two restaurants in the resort and Sangkar is the Indonesian restaurant. I do not know what people are saying that the food in Bali is not good, but we had very good meals at Sangkar. From the bar, it leads to the restaurant passing this beautiful bridge on water
Sangkar means birdcage which explains the birdcages on the ceiling! Beautiful!
Just like the other parts of the resort, light is minimal so I hope you can read the menu 🙂
Sushi and Sashimi
Ultimate Nasi Goreng
I love the way they serve the satay – it is on a mini grill on the plate and it was hot so the satay was warm until you actually eat it. And of course there are all kinds of Satay
Shrimp Satay
Pork Satay
Mixed Satay
Kobe burger! Love the presentation and it was really good!!!
Traditional Thai Green Curry
Hearts of Romaine
The F & B Manager of the resort, Carlos de la Bara
Heavenly Creme Brûlée!!!
Balinese Black Stick Rice Pudding

In our rooms when we arrived, we all received the native bag, hat and fan and beside it was this 🙂 From the bridal couple. This was why we were in Bali, to celebrate a special occasion.
Pam told me that she tried this in the resort when they first visited and she asked them to pack it for the guests so we could enjoy it too…and boy they are addicting!!
Since Pam paid an arm and a leg for those ( haha ) , during my shopping tour, I went to the grocery to look for it and I found it!!! I bought one, tried it to see if it was the same and it was so I got everything on the shelf and brought it back home to share! It is not exactly the same as the one at Bvlgari Resort but it is close. Here they are and you can buy it at my favorite store where you buy all the other delicious things 🙂 This is all that is available what you see in the photo so hurry and get some! They are addicting!!
I also saw this beautiful things dangling from the trees in the resort and I found them too!!! Sorry the photo is not too clear
So i brought home some. You can hang them on trees, use them as decoration, as a curtain 🙂
They come in different shapes 🙂
Items are available at the store as seen in the photos – that’s all that is available 🙂
Store hours: Tuesday to Sunday 12 noon to 10pm
Tel #: 854-7055

There are 59 villas at the resort and this is the map which I saw in the room. I was not able to research to make proper recommendations but I will describe based on the villas I saw during our stay.
Villa 10 to 15 are Ocean View Villas which are two bedroom villas. If you are going as a family, this will be the best because it has 3 villas inside, one bedroom and in the middle the living room and then another bedroom. You have the view of the Ocean directly above from your balcony. According to my sister who stayed there with her family, when you are sleeping at night, you can hear the waves and the water from the Ocean. So if that will not bother you and you like that, then this villa will work for you
This was our villa, Villa 32. We were in the third level up after the Ocean Villas. It was a one bedroom villa. All the other villas are like this (aside of course from the Bvlgari Villa )
Entrance to your Villa
You have your own outdoor living room. At night they put down the shades on the side
I really like these Indonesian lamps
living room facing the view and your own private pool
The bedroom
You have your own lounging chairs facing the beautiful view
Private pool
View of the bedroom
View of the living room
Your own mini bar in the living room
Your key which comes with a Bvlgari keychain. Make sure you don’t lose it because I heard you have to pay I think US$ 150.00 ( not sure ). Well, with a beautiful Bvlgari keychain like that
Door to enter the bedroom
As soon as you enter is your writing desk
WOW!!! LOVE THIS!! Javier stayed with us in the room which explains the extra bed
Another view from the bed
The TV showing you all the beautiful jewelry from Bvlgari! 🙂
Each of us had this in our room. They gave toys and nice indonesian handicrafts each night but we did not know it was a gift, so we left it 🙁 So make sure you get them, they were nice wooden instruments and other wooden handicrafts
Our closets
Amenities inside the closet
Behind the bed and closet is the bathroom!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
My photo does not justify the bathroom so I got a photo from the internet
And finally a bathtub that has a pillow! I always have to put a towel to rest my head, this was the only place that had a pillow amongst all the places I have been to
Candles to set the mood!! I love it! And they had these long matchsticks which I really liked because it is easier to light especially if the candleholder is deep or if you are lighting many candles
The rooms are dark which I think is done on purpose as this is the mood in the resort. My Lolo had lights added since he really found it dark 🙂 I like it that the curtains are all around 
This is the Ocean Villa ( Two Bedroom )
living room in between the two bedrooms
Master bedroom to the right
living room
With dining table
Master bedroom – almost the same as the regular villa, but for some reason they did not have the same big bathroom we had. I do not know if all Ocean Villas are like this
Day shot of the private pool and on the side they have an outdoor shower for the pool
This is the balcony of the Ocean Villa overlooking the Ocean- since there are three villas inside – there are three balconies all connected
Wow, I did not get to see this, but they have the Bvlgari Villa which is their Presidential Suite

Two weeks ago, we were very fortunate to have visited Bali and we stayed at the very beautiful Bvlgari Resort!!! It’s a perfect getaway for a honeymoon, for a short vacation and just relax and get away from it all. It was nice to be together with the family and spend time and bond
Tight security upon entering the resort
Though it is a bit inconvenient to get to Bali from Manila, when you get there, it’s all worth it
View of the villas from the main lobby of the resort. There are 59 villas all in all
I noticed these beautiful stone decors around the resort
Our welcome drink which is made out of fresh herbs and fruits
Because the resort is quite big and has uphills and downhills, best way to travel around is with the golf cart 🙂 Just request for them from wherever you are and they will come to pick you up. You can also walk around when not in a hurry
Love the pool area
Roads to the villas
Around the bar area and dining restaurants. There are two restaurants at the resort – Il Ristorante ( Italian ) and Sangkar ( Indonesian ) and they have a bar area and they are all beside each other in one area
Pool
Bar
Love this area which leads from the bar to Sangkar restaurant. Beautiful Indonesian wooden lamps around the resort
Il Ristorante restaurant
Going up to the gift shops
Of course the Bvlgari Shop selling Bvlgari merchandise
and the gift shop
This is the pathway that leads to the cable car which will take you down the beach
Cable car
View from cablecar station
Going down that pathway via cablecar
The waves were very strong that time so no swimming was allowed

Congratulations to our friend, Jay Ong, on the launch of Porcelanosa!
The handsome President of Porcelanosa Philippines, Jay Ong 🙂
With the expertise of one of Heart2Heart’s favorite interior designer/architect, Alfred Wieneke, they put together the beautiful showroom of Porcelanosa. They have everything! You can buy almost everything you need for your house all from Porcelanosa
THE POWER OF A TRADEMARK
One of Spain’s most reputable companies on the international scene, Porcelanosa Grupo, finally opens in Manila – bringing with it state-of-the-art products, modern-day designs, and innovative technology set to transform any space.
The Porcelanosa Group with its eight companies (Porcelanosa, Venis, Gamadecor, Systempool, L’Antic Colonial, Butech, Noken, and Urbatek) has more than 400 showrooms in almost 100 countries worldwide reaching cities such as Miami, Paris and Milan, with 900,000 square meters of installations guaranteeing the firm’s presence on all five continents, providing faithful clientele with their latest designs.
Innovation and Maximum Quality
Banking on 35 years of experience in the industry and recognized by Pricewaterhouse Coopers and Financial Times, Porcelanosa Grupo has made its most important milestone yet with the granting of a Royal Warrant by HRH, the Prince of Wales in recognition of the group’s quality products and services. This prestigious Royal Warrant entitles the group to use the distinct emblem that distinguishes them as only one of the limited companies that act as suppliers to HRH the Prince of Wales.
The Porcelanosa Group’s acclaimed products and installations have also garnered testimonies from their leading brand ambassadors that attest to their world-class standards with
Golden Globe Awards and Academy Award winning actor, George Clooney, and premiere Spanish-Filipina TV host, Isabel Preysler.
The group’s eight companies offer a vast selection of products ranging from kitchen and bathroom equipment to modern building solutions for contemporary architecture. Each of its brands provide unbeatable quality products such as high traffic floor and wall coverings, façades, bathroom furniture, KRION® Solid Surface, tap ware, sanitary wares, soundproofing, suspended ceilings, raised access flooring, and CLI-KER® (dry laying system), among others.
With an impressive line-up of various products and services, the brand continues their dedication to on-going research and development and implementation of innovative designs and materials. Together with great attention to detail, these have been the key factors in its strategy of product differentiation. The group believes that details are capable of transforming an object into something magnificent.
Ecological Commitment
Aside from its unparalleled innovations in transforming living spaces, the Porcelanosa Group has also placed its concern for the environment as top priority. Having always been at the forefront of this concern, Porcelanosa has been working to minimize the impact of its production systems on the environment throughout the years. Their efforts have garnered them the Iplus Prize, rewarding excellence in sustainability for their STON-KER ® Ecologic eco-friendly ceramic tile.
Their work system and the wide range of products they supply enable fast and effective response to the specific needs of each project: shopping malls, corporate headquarters, sports facilities, education centers, hotels, homes and business centers.
International Recognitions
Not resting on their laurels, Porcelanosa Grupo continues to receive well-deserved recognition from different award-giving bodies the world over.
In 2011 the HD EXPO in Las Vegas, one of the premier US exhibitions, awarded a prize for excellence to Porcelanosa’s Alaska Grey model. This award acknowledges the work of the Porcelanosa Group in creating building materials that combine design, functionality and durability. In the hotelry sector, the brand has also been awarded the Equip’Innov Prize, a Equip’Hotel trade fair in Paris for the development and application of the hi-tech material
Krion ®.
Women Together Foundation also gave recognition to Porcelanosa Grupo for the company’s continuing support to humanitarian organizations. Women Together Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 1978 that aims to strengthen microcredit finance programs for small women-led companies. Porcelanosa also collaborates with Association Against Cancer, the Fifteen Foundation and the Gurkha Welfare Trust.
The Porcelanosa Group’s brands provide a sense of comfort and ease, whilst at the same time projecting an impeccable image reflecting a unique style for every space.
