Now showers and bathtubs. Hotels are doing some amazing things with showers these days. They can be all glass, have multiple shower heads, marble floors, and so much more. Same with bathtubs, Jacuzzi tubs run in all shapes and sizes and with multiple jets and speeds they are like having a hot tub in your room. In the summer nothing beats a cool shower with numerous streams of water hitting your body. In the winter when I am frozen to my toes, nothing beats a warm bubbling Jacuzzi tub in the privacy of my own room where I can light candles, play music, and enjoy a drink.
Our choice:
A great bathroom…We have seen some ridiculous bathrooms during our travels. We have been blessed to stay at hotels or villas with bathrooms that have blown our minds and made our stay that much more memorable. Although a great bed with a view are close behind, the bathroom has become a make or break for us.
We have seen bathrooms designed in unique ways and with great amenities that we just don’t have in our home. They can design hotel bathrooms with creativity and luxuries that the average income home could never include. Sometimes the climate helps out, allowing hotels to build outdoor showers and more.
Our favourite hotel bathroom would be at Ubud Padi Villas. The bathroom had two main areas. The first area was inside, with double sinks, ambient lighting, and storage shelves made of bamboo. If you continued to walk, a step down would lead you to the outdoor portion of the bathroom. There was an outdoor Jacuzzi tub, outdoor shower, and outdoor toilet. Let me reassure you that this did not an out-house feel. There were flowers and simple décor to finish off the space. Palms reached over the walls from the outside gardens and soft rocks, gentle enough to walk on covered the grounds. It was a perfect mixture of nature, luxury, and function.

Please note: I have over the years grown to love a good robe. Nothing beats slipping into a soft robe after a shower or bath and wandering around your room as you get ready for the day ahead or evening out. This may play into my love of bathrooms.
