    NOTE: I did some hosting work for Accor Hotels at Sofitel, and they invited my wife and I to stay for a few extra nights. So I didn't pay for my stay, but I wasn't required in any way to make this video. I made it because I wanted to.
    September 2017
    Sofitel is one of the well known beach resorts in Nusa Dua, Bali. They hooked us up with a very nice room with direct access to the swimming pool - which is probably one of the coolest features of the hotel. The service was great, and I think the breakfast buffet was excellent. It's a laid back place to stay in Bali, so laid back and relaxing, that my wife and I barely even wanted to go anywhere when we were staying there. Sofitel in Bali is the type of resort where you can just stay the entire day, relaxing, and swimming and not go anywhere.
    As for the beach, it's not the most amazing beach. The views are fantastic, but for actually beach swimming, it's not the best you'll see. Also another drawback I found is that Nusa Dua is kind of a secluded resort area in Bali. So in order to get our of the resort area you need to take a taxi, you can't just walk out and find street food.
    Again, I didn't pay, but I searched and found that this room sometimes goes for around $400, however it could fluctuate quite a bit by season - and I was there in high season.
    Thank you to Sofitel Nusa Dua Bali for hosting my family in Bali. We had an amazing stay.
    Thank you for watching!

    I know a lot of vloggers shy away from sponsored/gifted things in an attempt to stay unbiased, but you totally deserve to be treated the way Accor treated you! You give honest opinions of everything you experience, and make it interesting and entertaining for us. Keep up the good work. Hugs to Ying and Micah.

    Nice. I was part of the landscape design team from concept to construction phase. The pool really turned out so well designed. The pool is divided into 3 parts (lagoon pool, lap pool, and adult pool). The reason why it's so huge!!

    $500 per night for that amazing hotel is reasonable in my opinion. That buffet oh my gosh. Not fair, you eat heaps of food and you're skinny, 😂😂 , That is my dream, you are one very blessed man. 😇

      Mark actually is tall and tone. His neck is skinny in camera.
      He proves that as long as eating healthy with moderate exercise, you can over eat but not getting overweight.

  • @sandranokes7443

    Just a thought. Because you don't like sweet things, you tend to only eat sour or salty foods. And breakfast you like to eat what you eat for lunch and dinner. Maybe you could get your wife's impression of the other food on here. I noticed it looked like she was eating waffles for breakfast. if she wouldn't mind giving her impression of the other foods that you don't like and don't eat, we could get a more rounded view of the food. Just a thought. The hotel you are staying in is incredible. So beautiful, and the buffet also looks incredible. I don't think I would want to leave!

    Mark, I must say I enjoy watching your videos of your travels around the world. You do such an outstading job in showing, explaining, and reacting to all the goodness you show on your video blogs. Your reactions when savoring food that hits your heart and soul are priceless.
    The views of the hotel are stunning, and the service is top notch. You just made me reminisce about the days when I used to book reservations for the onsite hotels at Universal Orlando Resort via a call center specialized in hotel reservations. But the best part was the reward of enjoying a vacation of a lifetime thanks to them, and being able to stay at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel (which your video reminds me a lot of it). It just brought memories of that vacation.
    Once again, thank you for sharing your travels around your world with your wife and child. :)

    I went to Bali just for the hotel stay. Not interested for sightseeing or night live. stay at the nice hotel and eat their food at their restaurant. That's what i love about Bali right now.

    I love how Mark clears a space in front of him for the waiter to put his coffee down but the waiter put it right in front of Micah. 😂

    I came here after your review of the buffet.
    We have JRC World Buffet in London, but Sofitel Buffet is truly awesome.
    The Sofitel Hotel looks impressive
    Bali is on my list of places to visit 🙋🏾‍♀️😍
