Singing Bowls Vibrational Medicine Body Therapy
Paul jumped at the chance to have a session of singing bowl therapy in Bali at the Mimpi Resort Menjangan. It's an ancient sound and vibration healing therapy that originates from Tibet. The treatment used four different bowls, all working harmoniously together to balance the chakras, relax the mind, body and soul, and strengthen the immune system.

Big Future Travel Planning Day! — All Shift Happily Now
We're loving our time now in Indonesia with less than a week left in Bali before we take the ferry over to Java for a first-time visit there. Afterwards, we're heading for Sri Lanka and India before coming back to Indonesia. We've discovered three wonderful Balinese clothing-optional hotels and we want to stay in all three again soon! All this and more in our wet and wild morning update from the naked pool at Bali Natur Resort!

The Best of Costa Rica — Sikewa Coffee
Our search for the best Costa Rican coffee spanned two separate visits and four months traveling around and sipping gallons of various roasts and blends. There are now over 1,000 craft coffee roasters in Costa Rica. Sikewa Coffee was so good we bought an extra piece of luggage to haul back to Portland 40 pounds of three different roasts — all of the them distinct and excellent!
Studio Hotel — COSTA RICA
This is our second visit to this stunning destination hotel property in the suburban town of Santa Ana — just outside Costa Rica's capital city of San Jose. Visiting this property (November 2018) begins our three-month, more in-depth exploration of this lovely country in Central America.
In addition to hotel conveniences and amenities, you will be captivated by Costa Rica's largest private art collection on display throughout the property both inside and out. And all the artists are Costa Rican! Be sure to ask for one of the handful of rooms specially prepared with the same quality of art found in the common areas — at no extra cost! Tell them the Hotel Guys sent you.
Note: we did not receive any complimentary goods or services during our two night visit. In fact, the hotel staff did not know we were video reviewing the hotel for hotelguys.com until we met Manuel, the hotel manager, at checkout.
The rack rate for this time of year is US$95; we paid US$82 via booking.com having made our reservation several months earlier for best price. A great value!
