part of the high season kick-off at the hotel 101 Legian is a good moment for expats and tourists visiting in southern Bali. The free movement section, offering pleasant drink options than most free-flow found in the area of Kuta / Legian, begins at 18 pm and goes for an hour. Promotional drinks are offered a melon liqueur Midori mix with sprite or San Miguel beer. The service staff are excellent. Attentive and friendly, your free drinks seem to come to you with a smile as your last cup or can be empty. In addition, with a minimal amount of incentive, you might be able to get the helmsman to pour you a double or triple. Taking full advantage of the hospitality personally, I am well on my way to a crazy night just after 7:00.
"huge party and every week! Come on guys, this is the number 1 pool party in Legian. "-Surya Sanjaya, Business Development Manager, PT DIMANTIQUE INTERNATIONAL, who sponsored the event with Gilbeys.
The party is on the roof of the hotel 101, so you can watch the sunset on Kuta beach while enjoying your hour of free drinks and live DJ sun. Except on the beach or a roof of one of the largest buildings in Kuta, there are not too many spectacular sunsets that will be offered. It certainly adds to the atmosphere and gives a calmer tone at first if you have a few drinks and relax in the evening. as hotel guests, you can also enjoy the rooftop pool and deckchairs to relax or take a dip. for those who have specific tastes for drinking, there is a well stocked bar next to the pool where your regular range of beer, wine and spirits are available.
After the soft flow are completed, the kick-off party still beverage options to suit those looking to save money. With Vodka, Gin and Whiskey Gilbey available to 400,000 IDR, splitting a bottle with one or two friends always offer affordable drinks during the night. Just be careful not to overdo it. The bottle also comes with four mixers included. Food is available next to the free flow bar in a buffet style setting. Despite the free drinks earlier in the night, the party really gets started later. The music turned and more people come for fun and festivities. With both patrons of the hotel on vacation, and some expatriates living in Bali now, there is no short conversation or society. Dancing, drinking, or even go swimming on the lower deck of the roof or install a conversation on the upper deck, where most seats and tables are in a cafe / restaurant style.
"Really good turnout here in 101, actually very surprised, they put on a good event." -. Dustin Cheatow, Productions Producer / Creative Director, SlamJam
The music played is mostly an electronic table and dance with perhaps some hip-hop tracks mixed occasionally. With a lack of any kind of engaged dance floor, the game is driven mainly drink and conversational. Get up and shake your tail feathers, if the mood should strike you, but I found myself sitting and talking most of the time. This does not mean it was not pleasant.
Overall, I had fun at the party. It was a good opportunity to meet people and have a few social drinks. At the heart of Kuta, the hotel offers 101 up to more scale-like environment near Seminyak in Kuta.
