- Fitness center: Needed after all the nasi goreng and Bintangs.
Here’s a little side note that I'll never forget: I vividly remember trying the body wrap. I thought I was going to, like, float away. They slathered me in some kind of magical Balinese mud, and my body immediately became relaxed and ready to drift, and the therapist was so, so, so skilled. I literally fell asleep! It was such a treat. I was worried, for a second there, that I was going to be buried alive!

The Honest Truth, Ramblings, and My Very Personal Experience:
Okay, time for the REAL talk. Medori Putih isn't just a place to stay; it's an experience. It’s the kind of place that makes you whisper to yourself, "I could live here." (And yes, I totally did, at least for a while!).
My stay got off to a slightly rocky start (as it usually does). I had a small hiccup with my initial booking, but the staff handled it with grace and a genuine desire to help. Seriously, these guys are amazing.
The pool. Oh, the pool. The view! I'm still dreaming of that view. It's the kind of view that makes you want to spend your entire time there. I'm not even kidding. I spent hours and hours floating around, watching the sunset, and generally contemplating the meaning of life (or maybe just what I was going to eat for dinner!).
The massage? Forget about it. Seriously, it was the best massage I ever had. I'm not usually one for spa treatments, but I thought I'd treat myself, and I'm so glad I did. I felt like a floppy noodle afterward, in the best possible way.
The food was incredible. Breakfast was a buffet of champions, and the restaurant served some seriously delicious Indonesian food. The staff were so helpful and happy to make anything as per my request. I'm not even much of a buffet person, but I found myself piling my plate high every morning!
The rooms were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated. The soundproofing was top-notch – a lifesaver for those of us who need our beauty sleep after a day of exploring or sunbathing.
My biggest surprise? How safe I felt. Bali is generally a safe place, but within the walls of Medori Putih, I felt completely at ease. There was security 24/7, and the staff were always keeping an eye out.
The Not-So-Perfect Bits (Because Nothing's Ever Totally Perfect):
- The location is somewhat remote. While this is part of the charm, it means you'll need to budget for taxis or rides to get around.
- While the internet was generally reliable, there were a few moments of buffering. But hey, you're in Bali! Put the phone away and enjoy the moment!
Overall Verdict:
Medori Putih Homestay is beyond a great place to stay; it’s a sanctuary. It's a place to escape the everyday, to slow down, recharge, and feel truly pampered. The staff goes above and beyond, the amenities are fantastic, and the overall vibe is one of pure bliss.

Medori Putih Homestay: Bali – The Messy, Wonderful Truth (Or: How I Didn't Become a Zen Master, But I Did Learn to Love the Gecko)
(Day 1: Arrival and the Great Laundry Debacle)
- 8:00 AM (Give or Take): Touchdown in Denpasar. Airport chaos. Think vultures circling a particularly yummy… well, you get the picture. Finding our ride was a comedy of errors. I swear I blinked, and suddenly I was in a taxi arguing (lovingly, of course) with a guy who insisted my name was “Madame Adventure.” Okay, maybe he wasn't wrong.
- 9:30 AM: Arrive at Medori Putih. Gorgeous. Seriously. Lush greenery, the air smells like jasmine and… bug spray. (Gotta love Bali, right?) The staff is ridiculously kind. Like, unnaturally so. I instantly suspect they're either secretly plotting world domination, or just… genuinely nice. Probably the latter.
- 10:00 AM: Check in and explore the homestay. The room is… charming. By which I mean, it’s a bit on the rustic side. The mosquito net is a questionable defense against… well, everything. But the view! Overlooking the rice paddies… it's pure Instagram bait. I snap a picture. Ten pictures.
- 11:00 AM: Unpack. Fail. Discover my suitcase exploded in the plane. My meticulously planned outfits are now a crumpled mess. This is a sign, people. A SIGN! A sign that I was meant to embrace the sarong life.
- 12:00 PM: Laundry Day! I hand my overflowing basket to the homestay staff. "Two days!" they say. Two days?! I mentally calculate how many times I can re-wear my one remaining clean top. This is a crisis of epic proportions.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at the homestay. Nasi Goreng. Spicy as hell. Tears streaming down my face, but loving every bite. Why is Indonesian food so good?! It's a mystery.
- 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Nap. Mandatory. The heat is a beast. Wake up feeling slightly more human. Probably.
- 6:00 PM: Sunset drinks on the homestay porch. The view is a knockout punch. This is the Bali I dreamed of. The one where I'm not sweating, covered in insect repellent, and wearing the same sarong. (Joke)
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a local "warung" (small restaurant). More spicy goodness. More tears. My stomach is a champion. Try the Gado-Gado and get ready for the best peanut sauce on the planet.
- 8:00 PM: Back to homestay. Attempt to conquer the mosquito net and fail miserably. Hear a lizard "tut" the entire night.
(Day 2: Temples, Tantrums, and Tiny Monkeys)
- 7:00 AM (ish): Wake up to the sound of roosters. Seriously?! It's like a nature documentary gone wild.
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. The pancakes are fluffy clouds of deliciousness. Fueling up for whatever awaits.
- 9:00 AM: Visit Tanah Lot Temple. Stunning. Majestic. Filled with more tourists than a Black Friday sale. I push my way through the crowds, determined to capture the perfect picture (which, of course, I fail to do because the lighting is a disaster, and a kid photobombs me every time).
- 11:00 AM: The traffic! Holy moly! It's a slow-motion ballet of scooters, cars, and the occasional cow. We are crawling in the heat, losing our minds… and our patience!
- 12:00 AM: Arrive at Uluwatu Temple. Oh, the monkeys. The evil monkeys! One snatches my water bottle. I have a mental breakdown. It's a plastic bottle! Do I chase it? Do I beg? Do I just accept my fate and the monkeys prevail, as they always do? I end up negotiating a trade with the little thief using a granola bar. Success! (Kind of.)
- 1:00 PM: Lunch with a fantastic view of the cliffs. Maybe the monkeys are a blessing in disguise. Great time to laugh about the fiasco
- 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Back to homestay for a recharge. The sun is brutal. Trying to figure out how to avoid sunburn.
- 6:00 PM: Relaxing/writing reflections, journaling, or just daydreaming. Really taking in the whole vibe.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner and drinks. The local food is incredible.
(Day 3: Rice Paddies, Realizations and My Laundry! (Yes!))
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. Sunrise over the rice paddies. Breathtaking. I vow to be present today. No worrying. No… wait, did I leave my phone on the charger? Argh!
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast - this time I get the fruit, and it's heavenly.
- 9:00 AM: Walk through the rice fields. Pure bliss. (Except for the sweat. The sweat is a constant companion.) I see farmers working, and I feel a pang of guilt for being a lazy tourist. I briefly consider offering to help. Then I remember I can barely boil an egg.
- 10:00 AM: Lost in the rice paddies. We did a small hike and wandered. The beauty of the rice paddies is truly unique.
- 12:00 AM: Lunch at a local warung. The food is amazing. And cheap! (Winning).
- 1:00 PM: Yoga. I am not a yoga person. Let's be honest. I'm all about the downward dog… usually, while chasing my actual dog around the park. But I give it a shot. Surprisingly, I'm not terrible. Maybe the scenery helps. Maybe I'm hallucinating from the heat.
- 3:00 PM: I'M GETTING MY LAUNDRY!!!! It's like Christmas morning! My clothes are folded neatly, smelling of fresh sunshine. I hug the nice lady who did it. She probably thinks I'm insane.
- 6:00 PM: Spend time reflecting, journaling and writing. I am actually enjoying the moment and enjoying my overall experience. In the homestay's relaxing environment.
- 7:00 PM: Evening and dinners. More warungs, all unique and exquisite.
- 8:00 PM: The best night of sleep I have had so far.
(Day 4: Departure and the Post-Bali Blues)
- 7:00 AM: Final delicious breakfast.
- 8:00 AM: Last look at the view. Actually shed a tear. (Okay, maybe a few. Don't judge).
- 9:00 AM: Farewell to the staff. They're still smiling. I'm still suspicious but mostly feel pure gratitude.
- 10:00 AM: Taxi to the airport. The inevitable traffic. The familiar airport chaos.
- 12:00 PM: Flight home. The post-Bali blues are already hitting hard. I open my travel notebook. My scribbled notes, the pictures – they are the perfect messy reminder of a trip I desperately need again.
Post-Trip Thoughts:
Bali isn't perfect. It's hot. It's crowded. It can be… challenging. But it’s also magical. It's a place that makes you want to unplug, reconnect, and maybe, just maybe, learn to appreciate the little things. Like a clean sarong. And a gecko friend. And the fact that you survived the monkeys.
Would I go back to Medori Putih? In a heartbeat. With a better mosquito net, a bigger suitcase, and a healthy dose of humility. But if I never went back, I will cherish this experience.
Cairo's Crown Jewel: Unforgettable Stays at Atlas International Hotels
Okay, spill it! Is Medori Putih *actually* paradise? Or just Instagram paradise-ing?
Alright, alright, let's be real. "Paradise" is a BIG word. Medori Putih... has moments. Like, *gasp* moments. Picture this: you wake up, the sun's painting the rice paddies this insane gold, you're sipping your coffee (which, by the way, is REALLY good – Indonesian coffee *chefs kiss*). And then... BAM! Some of the best rice fields you've ever seen in your damn life, waving in the breeze. Okay, maybe not *perfect* perfection. I did, on my first morning, spill coffee all down my new white shirt. (Note to self: pack more than one white shirt.) But even *that* felt… acceptable. It's the kind of place where, a week later, you're still finding tiny rice grains clinging to your shoes. It’s imperfect, but damn, it tries.
I gotta say, it has that… *je ne sais quoi*. The pictures? They don't lie, mostly. But they also don't capture the almost-unbearable silence at night, broken only by the chirping of crickets and the occasional distant motorbike. That silence... it's something special. Seriously though, pack earplugs if you're a sensitive sleeper. And bug spray. Because... well, Bali.
What's the actual *homestay* like? Rooms, amenities, the whole shebang?
Okay, the rooms. They're… charmingly rustic. Think bamboo, mosquito nets that actually work (thank god!), and a bathroom that I'd call 'open-air-ish'. Don't expect a five-star hotel. I heard from one of the other guests that the shower water pressure can be a bit… unpredictable. Sometimes a gentle trickle, sometimes you get blasted. My experience was in between. (But hey, it's Bali! Embrace the adventure, right? And I'm not saying I didn't spend a solid 20 minutes adjusting the showerhead every day.)
There’s wifi, but let's be honest – it's Bali wifi. Use it to update your Insta-stories when you're not soaking up the views and trying to get a tan (I swear I got the worst tan ever! I'm basically lobster-flavored). Amenities? Basic stuff. Clean towels, a comfy bed (most of the time, the mosquito nets were annoying to wrangle), and a communal area where you can meet other travelers. The real amenity? The view. Oh, and the staff. I need to talk about the staff. They are genuinely lovely people. They'll do anything for you, within reason. They’re always smiling, even when they’re chasing chickens out of the dining area. Which, let's just say, happened a few times.
Food! Tell me about the food! I'm starving just thinking about it.
Oh, the food… Okay, so breakfast is included. It's a simple affair but delicious. Fresh fruit, juice, and your choice of banana pancakes (a classic, and they never disappoint), or a simple egg dish, fried rice, or porridge. Lunch and dinner are extra but totally worth it. Especially when you've spent your entire day walking through the rice paddies and need to refuel. And try them when you can! They are so good, that some days I felt like I had two lunches. The real deal is the Warung by the homestay. It's a local place with amazing, authentic Indonesian food. I highly recommend the Nasi Goreng (which is also a classic) and the Mie Goreng. Just be prepared for some spice. Or, you know, ask them to tone it down. I learned that the hard way. (My mouth was on fire for a solid hour that first night.)
Don't come expecting haute cuisine. This is home-style cooking, made with fresh ingredients. It's all about the flavors. Simple but unbelievably delicious. And you can't beat eating your meal overlooking the rice paddies. Just brilliant. One night, I *almost* ate a whole plate of tempeh on my own. Almost.
How do you even *get* to Medori Putih? It looks like it's in the middle of nowhere. And, are the roads safe?
Okay, getting there is part of the adventure. I had a driver pick me up from the airport. He was lovely, but the drive itself... it's… an experience. Be prepared for winding roads, some dodgy driving (standard Bali, honestly), and some serious traffic in certain areas. But the views are worth it. The homestay can arrange transportation for you, which is probably the easiest and safest option. Otherwise, you can hire a driver and a car. That’s what I did.
The roads are... let's say, "variable." Some are smooth, some are pothole-ridden, and some (especially closer to the homestay) are basically dirt tracks. But the drivers know the roads. You'll eventually make it. Be sure to bring a phone charger! Getting lost is likely but it makes for a fun adventure.
What's there to *do* around Medori Putih? Beyond, you know, staring at rice paddies?
Okay, so, the main attraction is… staring at rice paddies. And it's glorious. You can walk for hours, and I did! The locals are friendly, the air is fresh, and it's just… peaceful. BUT! There's more. You can go on guided hikes, which I highly recommend. You can visit nearby temples, if you're into culture (I am, sometimes). There are some stunning waterfalls nearby. And you can also take a cooking class. Learn to make some of those amazing dishes you’ve been eating. (I, embarrassingly, failed. Miserably. But the result was still edible!)
Things to note: You can't really *do* much at night. There is barely any light in the area. There are no big bars or clubs. If you're looking for a party scene, this ain't it. (Which is what I loved about it.) It’s about disconnecting, getting back to basics. I spent an evening just lying on my balcony stargazing. Truly magical. But again… bug spray!
Any downsides? Be honest! What sucked about Medori Putih?
Honestly, the downsides are minimal, but let's be real: I did have a few gripes. Firstly, the wifi. It was spotty. I got a bit frustrated with that! Secondly, the power cut out *once*. Only for a few hours, but It was a bit of a pain. Also, the monkeys! They're cute, but don't leave any food out. They *will* steal it, I learned that the hard way. (I swear I saw one trying to steal my coffee cup!)
Here's a story for you. One day I went for a walk in the rice paddies. I stepped in something… unpleasant. I won'tHotel Whisperer
