Our Guests

Susanne Hunter :
Heritage Culture, Environment, Children, Food...

I love children. Since my first visit to Bali in year 1992 together with my husband and my three children, I have dedicated my life to help children in Bali. I always come to Bali twice a year with my friends for giving something to the children in Bali. They need good education for a good future.”, said Suzanne Hunter.
Susanne Hunter (seen in the picture, she stands in the middle), is one of Bali’s repeater guests and always stays at Bali Rani Hotel during her visits. She prefers the Hotel ambience and friendly staff. Susanne Hunter and her friends are very generous people since they have a good attention to social life of the unfortunate children.
In her opinion, Bali is a very nice island and she hopes that Bali will be always peaceful and beautiful. Bali has many things that need to be maintained and developed such as Heritage Culture, Environment, Children, Food...Talking about food: she loves “nasi goreng”, it is very delicious. 
She promotes Bali to her friends in Perth, Australia, by telling that Bali is still the best place for holidays. (BTN/*)

Mr. & Mrs. Keus
“This is our second home”

This Dutch couple confessed that Bali constituted as their second home. “Bali is our second home,” they explained. According to Mrs. Keus, her husband and she have made Bali the mooring of their heart, notably Sanur (Inna Grand Bali Beach). “Every time waking up in the morning, I open the window of our room while observing the ocean view as well as make prayers to God. Thanks God, you have showed me a place that is so beautiful”.
According to the couple, having a hobby in golfing, they were true-blue visitor of this Island of Thousand Temples. “We have come to Bali for nine times and travelled all over the island,” added Mrs. Keus. More than that, this shorthaired woman also acknowledged that she favours Indonesian food. “I like fried rice, so when I missed this food I would prepare it at home and it could make me feel as if I were in Bali”.
They also have intense concern with the local community of Bali. Often she collected charity funds in Holland to assist children at the orphanage. Even through golf she could amass some funds to be donated. “We over and over again visit them and bring them some books, school stationery and several small gifts,” told the couple having e-mail address at: pietkeus@hetnet.nl.(BTN/rai)

Cisca Bastiaans
“Wishes to Stay Longer”

To this Dutch Lady Cisca Bastiaans, the allure of Bali as a tourist destination is so enchanting. According to her, Bali is a paradise island that is forever and ever interesting to visit. Since her first arrival in 2004, she has travelled to Bali for six times.
“I like to spend my holidays in Bali as it’s so relaxing, secure and its people are so friendly. Additionally, there are many excellent hotels and restaurants here. That’s why I am very delighted and always want to come here again and again,” said Cisca to Bali Travel News on being visited at her hotel, the Kuta Beach Club Hotel, Kuta not so long ago.
Afterwards, this repeater guest of Kuta Beach Club Hotel feels optimistic that the image of Bali as one of the best world tourist destinations will be getting better. This condition is propped up by somewhat good security level. “I like to see that security officers are in charge everywhere. Security check for every guest entering and leaving the hotel is excellent as well. This makes me feel so secure and convenient to holiday in Bali,” Cisca said.
According to her, the increasingly better image of Bali tourism has obtained positive reactions in Holland. Unfortunately, it is not underpinned by sufficient flight facility. Frequency of flight services from Holland to Bali is assumed insufficient. Therefore, it’s difficult to obtain a ticket. “If planning to travel to Bali in November, I should make a ticket reservation in March. Supposed that the flight frequency to Bali had been increased, there would have been more Dutch people spending their holiday in Bali,” commented this officer pensioner of the ABN-Amro Bank, Amsterdam.
As a pensioner, Cisca spent some of her time in Bali, particularly during the winter in her home country. She confessed to come to Bali twice a year and stay during four months for several times. Her arrival in Bali is both intended for holiday and for social activities like helping the indigent children through the Elisama Social Foundation and Orphanage at Sesetan, Denpasar.
“Indeed, I wish to stay here longer, but my intention finds a difficulty in the immigration procedures, that in my mind, is unduly complicated. If such procedures were easy and quick, there would be more Dutch people holidaying and staying in Bali. As a consequence, their spending money here would be moderately high and assuredly resulted in positive impact towards the cycle of economy of the Balinese people,” commented the woman whose e-mail address at: ciscabastiaans3@hotmail.com.
