Uncover Bali's Hidden Paradise: Infinity8's Untold Secrets
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. We're diving headfirst into the Untold Secrets of Infinity8 in Bali. Forget polished travel brochure prose; you're getting the raw, unvarnished truth, straight from someone who's probably spent way too much time staring out of hotel windows.
First Impressions: Accessibility & Getting There (Because Let's Be Real, It Matters)
Finding the place? Honestly, a breeze. Airport transfer? Seamless. That first ride, from the chaotic joy of Bali's airport to the serene entry of Infinity8 set a high bar. Let me tell you, after that flight, anything easy is a godsend. The hotel also offers a free car park and valet, phew.
Accessibility? Yep, They've Thought About It! For folks with mobility needs, this is HUGE. Elevator (essential!), facilities for disabled guests, and accessible rooms (I didn't need one, but knowing it's there warms the cockles of my heart). They've clearly put some thought into, which, frankly, is rare and appreciated.
Then comes the Internet, or as I like to call it, the Lifeline to Civilization (or at least Reddit)
Free Wi-Fi in every room?! Yes, please! No agonizing wait times, no battling for bandwidth. The hotel offers LAN internet too if you like, which is a bit of a throwback, but hey, options are good. The Wi-Fi is good, and I was able to work from my room pretty easily, which means a thumbs up from me.
The Room: My Little Slice of Paradise (With a Few Quirks)
Alright, let's get down and dirty with the digs. My room? Air-conditioned, thank the frickin' gods! And it comes with:
- The Essentials: Free bottled water (lifesaver!), coffee/tea maker (because, caffeine!), in-room safe (always a must), a desk for those very important emails.
- The Luxuries: A private bathroom (duh!), a bathtub (for soaking away the day), bathrobes and slippers (ahhhh, the life!), and a super-comfy bed.
- The Quirks: The room was a little… cozy. Not complaining, per se, but it wasn't enormous. And the blackout curtains? They really meant blackout. One minute it was 9 am, the next, I was asking myself if I had slept for a week.
The Food! Oh, the Food! (And Yes, They Cater to Every Craving)
Okay, real talk: I live to eat. Infinity8 delivered on this front.
- Restaurants Galore: Multiple restaurants await. International cuisine, Asian cuisine, vegetarian options, breakfast buffets… it was feast or famine, and I chose feast. The a la carte options at the restaurant were delish, and the staff were all incredibly helpful.
- Breakfast Bliss: The Western breakfast was on point. Everything from eggs to bacon, pancakes to pastries… I ate my weight in carbs. The Asian breakfast? Delightful. I was slightly disappointed no takeaway for breakfast, but the breakfast service was good, so it was a minor inconvenience.
- Coffee Corner: A coffee shop for the caffeine addicts like me. This was a godsend, especially after a late night out.
- Room Service: 24-hour room service? Yes, please! Perfect for those midnight snack cravings or when you just can't summon the energy to leave the room. Pizza at 3 AM? No judgment here.
Activities & Relaxation: Bali's Beauty, Inside and Out
Alright, let's be honest, I'm not the most active vacationer. But even I was tempted by some of the offerings.
- The Spa: Ahhhh, the spa. This is where Infinity8 truly shines. I opted for a massage and it was out of this world. This alone would bring me back to the hotel. I was in a state of pure bliss, floating in a cloud of fragrant oils. Seriously, my shoulders, which usually carry the weight of the world, melted away like butter. They also offer body wraps and scrubs, which I'm totally doing next time.
- The Pool with a View: The outdoor swimming pool was lovely, and had a pretty good view out to the beach. It wasn't huge, but it provided a perfect place to relax.
- And more: The fitness center, gym, sauna, steam room - they got it all.
Cleanliness and Safety: Because Nobody Likes a Germfest
In the post-pandemic world, safety is paramount. Infinity8 gets it.
- Cleanliness Obsessed: The whole place felt spotless. Anti-viral cleaning, professional-grade sanitizing, and rooms sanitized between stays. Makes you feel you're in safe hands.
- Safety First: Masked staff, hand sanitizer everywhere, safe dining setups. They took it seriously. They also had a doctor/nurse on call, which provides that extra peace of mind.
Services & Conveniences: They Thought of Everything (Almost)
- Seriously, the Little Things: Concierge service, currency exchange, daily housekeeping, laundry service, luggage storage… they've made things easy for you.
- Stuff You Might Need: A convenience store, a gift shop/souvenir shop (gotta send those postcards!), and even a business center for work emergencies.
- The Extras: Indoor and outdoor venues for special events, a shrine (for an authentic cultural experience), and facilities for disabled guests (again, HUGE!).
For the Kids (and the Kid in You)
While I don't have kids, I noticed they were definitely looked after. Babysitting service and some kids' facilities. They are also family friendly, which is a massive plus if you're traveling with little one.
Getting Around: Bali's Chaotic Charm
- Airport Transfer: See, I already mentioned this, but it's worth repeating. Seamless. Brilliant.
- Other Options: Taxi service is readily available. Car park [free of charge] for those driving themselves.
Room for Improvement
Honestly, there's very little to complain about. Perhaps the food could be slightly more diverse, and they might need to add more signage.
The Verdict: Book This Hotel!

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into my attempt to survive (and hopefully thrive) at Infinity8 Bali. This isn't your perfectly-curated Instagram travel diary, this is real life, folks. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and probably a sunburn or two.
Infinity8 Bali: My Chaotic Adventure
Day 1: Arrival & Bali Bliss (Probably…?)
Morning (7:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Landed in Denpasar. Ugh, the humidity. Seriously, someone hand me a towel and a gallon of iced water. The airport chaos was real. Haggling for a taxi? My weakness. I ended up overpaying, I'm sure. But hey, at least I got a ride. My driver, Agus, was a chatty Cathy – bless his heart, he tried to teach me basic Bahasa Indonesia. I think I blurted out "Terima Kasih" approximately 500 times.
- Anxiety Level: High (Will I get scammed? Will the suitcase arrive? Did I remember to lock the front door?)
Mid-Morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Check-in at Infinity8. Honestly, the lobby is gorgeous. Instagram-worthy, even. But the receptionist? A little… reserved. Maybe just tired. Or maybe she could tell I was already a sweaty disaster. The room is… decent. Okay, it's actually pretty great. Pool view, air con blasting – I'm already feeling more human.
- *Emotion: Relief (The room is CLEAN!) *
Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Ditch the hotel for some authentic street food. My "research" led me to a warung (small local restaurant) down the street. Okay, I actually just pointed at a random place and hoped for the best. Ordered Nasi Goreng. Spicy. Delicious. My mouth is on fire but I'm going to do this. The local kids, staring and giggling at the "bule," (foreigner) made me smile.
- Honest Assessment: Food is awesome, digestion is going to be a rollercoaster.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Pool time! Sunscreen, check. Book, check. Prosecco, check (mini-bar victory!). Fell asleep. Woke up with a slightly pink nose. Nailed it.
- *Observation: Everyone has amazing swimwear *
Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Sunset at Seminyak beach. Absolutely breathtaking. The waves, the colors, the sheer… romance (even by myself). Ate grilled corn on the beach. Got sand everywhere. Worth it.
- Rambling thoughts: Is it too early to fall in love with Bali? Is it the Nasi Goreng talking? Am I going to regret this? Probably.
Evening (8:00 PM - onwards): Dinner and drinks at a beach club. Overpriced cocktails, loud music, beautiful people. Took some "candid" selfies (read: spent way too long trying to angle the camera). I'm pretty sure I lost my phone, but I may not care.
- Messy Conclusion: This is going to be a week of amazing and horrible things.
Day 2: Culture Shock & Scooter Shenanigans
Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Woke up way earlier than desired. Jet lag is a cruel mistress. Coffee and a desperate attempt to understand the hotel gym equipment. Failed.
- Emotional reaction: Why did I choose to come here to get fit?
Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Temple visit: Tanah Lot. Stunning, but crowded. People everywhere clamoring to take pictures. One time I almost got knocked over by a runaway toddler. Learned a little about the local culture. Realized just how little I know about the local culture. Bought way too many trinkets.
- Honest assessment: The crowds took away from the meditative experience. But totally Instagrammable.
Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): Found a small, non-touristy warung and tried to order "Nasi Goreng" again, in Bahasa. Got a slightly different version. Also, the owner was incredibly kind to me, even when I spilled my drink.
- Quirky observation: Why are the portions so massive?
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 5:00 PM): The most terrifying yet exhilarating experience: Scootering lessons. I tried. Fell off. A lot. Looked completely incompetent. Agus (my driver from day one) found me and gave me a lesson. He was so patient and gave me the best lesson. I'm a danger to myself and others. Still, the wind in my hair (well, helmet hair), and the feeling of… freedom (mixed with sheer panic) was incredible.
- Doubling down on experience: The scooter is the real deal and also a symbol of life. I love it and fear it
Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Trying a Balinese massage. This has to be the most relaxing thing ever..
- Emotional reaction: I'm ready for sleep
Evening (8:00 PM - onwards): Dinner at a fancy restaurant. Attempted fine dining. Realized I'm still covered in scooter dust, and definitely not dressed properly. Oops.
- Messy conclusion: I've still got lots to explore.
Day 3 - 7: (Get ready, this gets messy!)
This is where the real chaos kicked in. I'm not going to give you a detailed, hour-by-hour account. Instead, here's a messy, stream-of-consciousness rundown of what happened:
More Scootering: (Surprisingly) less falling. Explored hidden beaches, got lost (multiple times), and almost ran over a chicken. Oops.
- Emotional reaction: Pure adrenaline. Also, why are chickens always crossing the road?
Infinity8 Hotel Adventures: Ate breakfast every day. Mostly the same. The staff knows my order now! Pool time, more sunburning, cocktail hour. One day, I drunkenly tried to teach a group of teenagers how to play poker. It wasn't pretty.
- Quirky observation: The pool bar staff have the patience of saints.
Ubud: (Day Trip) Visited the Rice Terraces (stunning, even if I got a little lost). Monkey Forest (adorable monkeys, but they will steal your phone). Ate some questionable food (but it tasted delicious).
- Rambling thought: Ubud is beautiful and a little overwhelming. I spent an hour just watching people. Its weird.
Cooking Class: Attempted to cook Balinese dishes. Failed miserably. The chef was very polite. But I'm pretty sure I single-handedly ruined the Satay.
- Opinionated Language: My cooking skills are pathetic.
More Beach Days: Surfing lessons (laughed the entire time). Sunburns. Sand in everywhere.
- Strong emotional reaction: The ocean is amazing! Never want to leave.
Day Trips: One day I just stayed in the hotel room and watched Netflix, this was glorious.
Unexpected Encounters: Made friends with a stray dog. Kept losing things. Found a secret beach. Met a guy at a beach club. Went out on a date. It was awful.
- Messy Conclusion: This is what traveling is all about. The good, the bad, and the very, very messy.
Day 8: Departure
Woke up. Ate a lot. Packed. Said goodbye to the staff (who were probably relieved). Hated leaving. Promised myself I'd come back. The airport was somehow even more chaotic this time. Got on the plane. Sat in the seat. Watched the clouds.
- Emotional reaction: Coming home feels boring. Goodbye Bali
Final Thoughts:
Infinity8 Bali wasn't perfect. It was sometimes sweaty, sometimes stressful, sometimes completely ridiculous. But it was mine. It was a journey of discovery, of mistakes, of laughter, and of sunburn. It was messy, imperfect, and utterly unforgettable. And I wouldn't trade it for anything. Now to go find a job to pay for it all again.
J Inspired Hotel Pattaya: Thailand's Hottest New Paradise?Okay, so, Infinity8? What’s the *actual* deal? Is it just another Bali Instagram trap? My feed's already overflowing with sunsets and smoothie bowls.
Alright, real talk. I went expecting another polished, perfect Bali experience. I mean, the photos? Stunning, right? But after being there… Yeah, there's some Instagram polish for sure. The pool? Picture-perfect. The breakfast spread? Instagram-gold. BUT!
Here's where it gets interesting. Infinity8 isn’t *just* about the aesthetic. It feels... alive. Yeah, that's a weird way to put it, but hear me out. Maybe it’s the way the staff, bless their hearts, are constantly scrambling to help (Sometimes *too* helpful. I swear, I looked at a map, and a guy materialized to offer to draw me a personalized route. Super sweet, but I just wanted to wander!). Maybe it's the fact that you're surrounded by a genuinely diverse crowd – honeymooners, families, backpackers trying to do that ‘Eat Pray Love’ thing (spoiler: it’s harder than it looks. First you eat. A LOT. Then you… well, I’m still working on the ‘pray’ part).
Honestly? It’s a good mix. Not perfect. More like perfectly imperfect. You know?
Tell me about the rooms. Are they… *actually* as luxurious as they look? I'm used to budget hostels.
Okay, the rooms. Going from my usual backpacker life to that Infinity8 room felt like winning the lottery. Like, legit winning. The bed? Cloud-like. The air conditioning? My new best friend. The bathroom? HUGE. Seriously, I think I could have hosted a small party in there with all the space.
But, and there's always a 'but', isn't there? My first room, the AC was a bit… temperamental. Like, it’d decide it was naptime in the middle of the afternoon, and you'd wake up a sweaty mess. I called reception, and they fixed it immediately. No drama, just… a bit of a hiccup. That’s Bali, right? A little bit of chaos around the edges. I ended up loving it anyway, I mean come on, look at the pictures!
Upgrade? I got a new room with a balcony and a view and now I was hooked. It was a dream come true, and I'm not going to lie to you, it was the most luxurious hotel I've ever stayed at.
The pool! I've seen the pictures. Is it as amazing as it looks? Did you get any cool Insta shots? (I won't judge!)
The pool. Oh, the pool. It’s… breathtaking. The infinity edge just melts into the horizon. The cocktails are ridiculously photogenic. You know, the whole shebang. Yes, I took pictures. Loads of them. Of course. Did I feel a little bit ridiculous posing with my floatie? Maybe. Did I care? Absolutely not!
Here's the thing: The pool is cool. But it's also… busy. Finding a sunbed can be a competitive sport, especially during peak hours. The first day, I almost got into a passive-aggressive sunbed war with a very tan couple. My inner peace vanished entirely. So, some advice: if you want that perfect Insta shot, get up early. Or, embrace the chaos and enjoy the vibe. I swear, the water's warm enough to actually *swim* in. Amazing.
What about the food? I'm a foodie, and I'm picky. How was it?
Food! Okay, here’s where I truly, deeply, emotionally, felt things. Breakfast was a buffet bonanza. Everything from fresh fruit (seriously, the mangoes were *divine*) to pancakes to eggs cooked every which way. I felt obligated to try everything. I basically ate my weight in fruit salads and Indonesian pastries every single morning.
Lunch and dinner, I'm talking about the on-site restaurant. The prices were a bit higher than some of the local warungs (small, family-run restaurants), but the quality was excellent. And the view? Unbeatable. I tried everything from the local specialities to the pizza – and let me tell you, the pizza was surprisingly brilliant!
If you're feeling adventurous, venture out! Infinity8 has tons of suggestions of spots around for all tastes and moods. And if you are thinking about going, save space for dessert!
Anything you *didn't* like? Be brutally honest. Someone needs to be!
Okay, honesty time. Some things weren't perfect. The music at the pool got a *little* repetitive after a while. You know, that generic chill-out playlist that every hotel seems to have? I developed an involuntary shudder every time I heard another remix of a nineties pop song.
Also, the location in Ubud is great if you like to *be* in Ubud, not so great if you want to escape Ubud. Traffic can be a nightmare. It took me longer than it should have to go a short distance.
And, this is a small thing, but the Wi-Fi sometimes got a little… spotty. But honestly, that's a minor complaint. I was in Bali, after all! I should be forgetting about the internet entirely!
The Spa, what did you think? Was it as relaxing as it seems on the pictures?
Okay, so the spa. I'm actually pretty awkward about spas, truth be told. I'm not one of those people who can instantly relax and just *be*. But the pictures looked so good, and the stress from the whole Bali trip, I decided to go for it.
The staff was ridiculously friendly and welcoming. They offered me a herbal tea and made me fill out a form. I went for a traditional Balinese massage. And, honestly? It was heaven. I'm not even kidding. The masseuse was amazing. I didn't understand a word she was saying but, bless her heart, she knew what she was doing. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep for a bit. After the massage I was so relaxed I could barely move. Worth it. Absolutely worth.
If you're going, definetely go for the spa. No matter how shy you are!
Overall, is Infinity8 worth it? Would you go back?
Alright, final verdict. Would I go back? Absolutely. Despite the minor imperfections, despite the slightly repetitive music, despite the sunbed wars… I would.
Infinity8 is a genuinely lovely place. It's a good base from which to explore Bali. The staff are incredibly sweet and helpful, the rooms are comfortable, the food is delicious, and the pool… well, the pool speaks for itself. It's not a perfect paradise, but it's a genuinely enjoyable one. A Bali experience that manages to balance the polished glamour with a touch of authentic charm. Find Hotel Now
