Hello Ricky. Exciting trip.
How did you get from Bali airport to Ubud and then to the Ritz?
Was your Ubud hotel walking distance to places or you needed a car to get around?
Did you use BA Avios points to book Qatar airways?
Looking forward to the details.
I am off to Conrad Ko Samui next week on points.

Hey Bernard, we used taxis to get around Bali. Airport to Ubud was about US$20, Ubud to the Ritz was about US$28. We used taxis to get around Ubud as well – about US$7 to get from the hotel to the major sights.
You can typically hire a driver for a whole day for about US$50 per car. That’s a great deal since you can go all over the island.
Yep the Qatar flight was booked with Avios. 9,000 Avios per person in business class.
Have fun in Ko Samui! Let me know how you like the Conrad.
Wow, really looking forward to all the reviews. The Ritz-Carlton does seem like a steal.
