A Night To Remember

If you are planning to come to Bali, the island of God, then you have to check this place out. It calls Klapa, in English means Coconut. This name is probably has something to do with its location which is at the beach, Dreamland beach that is. First when my friends talked about this place, I was kind of okay. First because of its location is too far away, puts me a little bit off since as a normal girl I am useless when it comes to find a secluded place like this. Yeah, the place is in the middle of nowhere. And it took like almost an hour to get there from my normal hang out place. For me, it means miles away.
But yeah, since this is a new hang out place then of course my friends and I want to check it out. So here we are, luckily we have got a friend who is local guy who understand the place more than us. So yeah, we were there yesterday and it was cool. This place owns by the late Indonesian former dictator’s youngest son so go figure, how beautiful the place is. And it’s not even 100% ready yet. The lounge is already there but the club is still under renovation. The view was fantastic, too bad the weather was not so good yesterday so we could not get the beautiful sunset that we supposed to as everyone told us. But yeah, the place is beautiful and civilized, for sure.
Then we ordered drinks which was a little bit disaster. When we were there, the waiter said that they are having a happy hour so every drink that we order they will give us another drink for free. We were like, cool. So yeah, we were having white wines and just enjoying ourselves. Until half an hour before the happy hour finished, we ordered another drinks then we waited for our drinks with patient. Fifteen minutes passed, still no drinks. Twenty minutes, nope. When we just about canceled our order, then along came the waiter right at the time when they finished their happy hour. What a timing! So yeah, they said we didn’t get any free drinks with this order since the happy hour was finished. We were like, who cares? We were not there for any free things. But their trick was so low. Seriously, we just wanted our drinks and get out of the place since we were planned to have dinner at Kembang Goela restaurant which is another hour drive from that place. So yeah, we don’t care about free drinks but we do care about our belly and we were starving after those wines. But if we allowed to give a little advise, please don’t do that trick on any of your customers, it was so cheap and not cool at all. Specially when someone order wines which only need your bartender to pour it from the bottle to a glass, even an amateur can do it in five minutes. But half an hour? Just to avoid happy hour? It’s pathetic! Come on, not suitable for an exclusive place like yours.
