Vintage photos of:
This Second Empire edifice opened in April 1878 as the Working-Women's Hotel, only to close eight weeks later due to an acute case of insolvency. Reopened as the Park Avenue Hotel, the cast-iron marvel at 34th Street lasted until 1924, when it was replaced by an office tower.
New York Circa 1905. "Park Avenue Hotel, Fourth Avenue entrance." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
This view is from my office window, looking north up Park Avenue. The building directly across from my window is the current One Park Avenue, which replaced the Park Avenue Hotel. It was quite a jolt to see the hotel photo on my computer screen and realize I was actually looking out the window at it's replacement!
To many of us older New Yorkers (even if we no longer live there) it is Fourth Avenoo, not Park Avenue South; just like it is Sixth Avenoo, not Avenue of the Americas.
It appears that the carriage drivers are being professionally stoic. The buildings architecture is quite beautiful.
At least one of the fancy carriages appears to be an omnibus, a public conveyance, and may have a regular run from the hotel to a ferry slip or railway stop. The other two may be for hire as well. Of course, for those inclined to save a penny or ten, there's always that convenient subway kiosk.
Think "f/64"!
There were very good, rectilinear lenses, and with perspective control in the camera, architectural photos could give a true representation of the lines, but to get such clear focus across the plane, it takes a small aperture, and either long exposure or lots of light.
Who can identify the purpose of the two propped-open hatches along the side of the building? I first thought they were coal chutes but that didn't seem plausible (wouldn't the building be steam heated from a central supply? And they're too far from the curb)
Ventilators? Maybe... any ideas?
These photographs are amazing, but the real jewels are contained within. Zooming in on the main entrance gives you a glimpse of life in 1905, with the guests arriving and departing in their fancy carriages and the baggage handlers on call to the left. Click to enlarge.
The lens used for this must have been the best lens in the world in 1905, tack sharp from corner to corner! Better than most people get even now.
Fourth Avenue is one of Manhattan's shorter avenues today, extending only to 14th Street. It stops a mile short of where this hotel once stood. Way back when, however, it ran much of the length of Manhattan and into the Bronx. Starting in the 1850s, the city began renaming the sections north of 34th Street "Park Avenue," the much grander moniker by which it's still known today.
Being located between 32nd and 33rd streets, the Park Avenue Hotel wasn't actually on Park Avenue at all, as at the time the roadway south of 34th was still called Fourth Avenue. One would have to assume that the hotel's owners were eager to latch onto the cachet that even then was associated with Park Avenue. In 1924, the builder of the office building that replaced the hotel got the city to agree to extend the Park Avenue name two blocks farther south, to 32nd Street, so the building would get the vanity address of One Park Avenue. It's still around today and still has that address.
In 1959 the city cut back the Fourth Avenue name still further, renaming the stretch between 17th and 32nd "Park Avenue South." It is Union Square East between 14th and 17th.

Washington - The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) announced that former President Bill Clinton will deliver the keynote speech of the opening plenary of Greenbuild, the world's largest conference and exposition dedicated to green building, to be held November 7-9, 2007, in Chicago."This is an unprecedented opportunity for our green building community to hear from one of the greatest philanthropic and environmental leaders of this century," says Rick Fedrizzi, USGBC president and CEO. "The William J. Clinton Foundation is facilitating a series of global action plans that are addressing some of the most intractable problems of our times-AIDS, economic sustainability as a way to eradicate poverty, the elimination of childhood obesity. His framework has shown the power that groups of individuals have to effect real change.""Reducing the C02 emissions that lead to climate change is another key area of focus, and it's being addressed by the Clinton Climate Initiative, with green building as a cornerstone of that effort," notes Fedrizzi. "We are making a difference, and President Clinton's unique ability to inspire individual action will add incredible momentum to this important work." Clinton's keynote will kick off what is expected to be the largest Greenbuild ever. More than 20,000 people from all over the world are expected to take part in three days of dynamic speakers and educational sessions; LEED® workshops and hands-on training; local green building tours; design charrettes and networking events; and a bustling exhibit hall. Greenbuild's exhibit hall sold out nearly a year in advance: Its 800 booths will display the newest green building technologies, products and services.

The new 2014 Z1000 is a ballsy move by Kawasaki – and not just because it looks like something out of a Terminator movie. No, it's ballsy because it's rejected the current (and often expensive) fashion for electronic rider aids, because it focuses on real world riding thrills rather than fantastic and often irrelevant (for a street super naked at ...

MV Agusta used to be the dream, aspirational brand; the poster bike we proudly hung on our garage and shed wall; the Ferrari of the biking world – and just as expensive, impractical and out of reach. But with the all new MV Brutale 675 that could all be set to change. At £8299 it's not only cheaper, astonishingly, than ...

The 920 is the new entry-level MV Agusta Brutale which, despite lashings of Italian flair and 130bhp performance, costs the same as a Yamaha FZ1 at £9999. It has a number of changes aimed at keeping the cost down over the bigger capacity 990R and 1090R bigger brother.

There wasn't much wrong with the old Versys, it just needed a few minor faults addressing which Kawasaki have done. They have reduced the engine vibration which was a major fault and improved the bike cosmetically, whilst adding more extras like heated grips. It's a jack of trades, and at under £6000 a bit of bargain all round bike. - ...

The GSF1250 Bandit's frame and suspension have also been upgraded to give a sumptuous, well-mannered mileage machine that can also run in the twisties.

Should the Colorado Rockies trade Jon Gray for Jeff Samardzija?
That was the question posed by Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post earlier this month. It stoked conversation and numerous articles about whether or not the Rockies should make that move.
To recap my analysis of that question, I will once again ask the question: should the Rockies trade Jon Gray for Jeff Samardzija?
The reasons are numerous, ranging from the fact that Samardzija has never been a true ace except for two months this season to Jon Gray's ridiculously high ceiling to the fact that there is literally a near-zero percent chance Samardzija would sign with the Rockies past 2015.
You are talking about trading arguably the best pitching prospect in team history for a year and a half of a guy who might be awesome but might also be pitching way over his head right now. Neither is a guarantee, but I'll take my chances with Gray every single time.
Now the Rockies have been linked to a trade for Samardzija in a different context. This morning Jeff Passan of Yahoo! reported that the Cubs have been asking around for a "competitive-balance draft pick and the accompanying bonus-pool money" as part of their return for trading Samardzija. He then noted the following:
Of the contending teams with high, tradable picks, the Colorado Rockies, choosing 35th, make the most sense. Chicago executives Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer are creative enough, too, to consider three-team deals with an asset as valuable as Samardzija, like Price not a free agent until after next season.
So the question is, would the Rockies find Samardzija to be more valuable than that 35th pick and whatever players would have to go with it in a deal? Maybe, but then Mark Polishuk of MLB Trade Rumors noted the following:
"The draft pick would just be part of a Samardzija trade package, of course, and I would guess the Cubs would also ask for Rockies pitching prospects Jonathan Gray or Eddie Butler in exchange for their ace. The Rox could possibly upgrade their rotation simply by promoting one of those two young arms, however, rather than deal assets for a veteran."
And that's the point. Theo Epstein will ask about Gray, he'll ask about Butler, and then he might ask about the weather in Denver before hanging up and moving on to another potential trade partner. As far as the question of trading Butler instead of Gray in such a package, if you're wondering what I think about that, well…
If nothing else, we should note this unfortunate reality: Passan's designation of the Rockies as a "contending team" might prove to be inaccurate in short order.
Colorado is already 8.5 games behind the Giants and staring at a downright frightening schedule in the month of June. If they are contenders come July 1st, awesome. But they need to play these games before they start talking about bold trades, which should rule out the idea of making a deal between now and Friday (the MLB Draft).
For what it's worth, Polishuk then offered the following update on the report about the Cubs on MLB Trade Rumors:
A baseball source differs from the report referenced below, telling MLBTR there is no truth to the assertion that the Cubs have inquired about receiving a competitive balance draft pick as part of a Samardzija deal.
Either way, two scenarios have been offered in which the Rockies could try to trade for Jeff Samardzija. So far the answer has been "no" twice, at least as far as I am concerned. Maybe that will change, but for now the Rockies should focus on internal options to improve their rotation and their bullpen. With those top prospects looming, there is plenty of excitement and promise to be found in that route.

Deal would send star cornerback from Jets to Bucs. Terry McCormick
The New York Jets have agreed in principle to trade star cornerback Darrelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per Yahoo Sports.
Per the report, the Jets could receive undisclosed draft picks, and Revis has agreed to a long-term extension with the Bucs that would make him one of the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterbacks.
Revis headed to Tampa Sunday morning aboard a private jet to take a physical for the Buccaneers, who already have access to the results of his April 5 MRI.

text: Janet Roberts and her brother James are at the mercy of their father's foul mood swings, especially on Wednesdays, when he returns from his third nightshift of the week, angry and red-eyed, looking for trouble. But they can always lose themselves in Janet's stories of ghosts and gypsies, or go and visit their boozy Aunt Net, who welcomes them with open arms as long as they make a visit to the off licence first. Then, in the course of one summer on their Oxford council estate, everything changes. A young girl is found murdered in the park near their house. James disappears, Aunt Net goes off the rails, and Janet's mother is hospitalised. Janet is left to fight her battles alone, with only her quick wits and vivid imagination to help her through. In this affecting and spirited novel, Eloise Millar brings to life a community, a family and a valiant, lovable heroine. Wednesday's Child is a remarkable and original debut from an exciting new voice in fiction.

Thank you so much for this KO, I actually think I will be able to follow along and create my own sewn needle case! Great directions and the photos are very helpful.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to tell my sister to check this out! She sews and I think this would be a fun project for her :)ReplyDelete
OMG! Too cute. You really are a good seamstress. I cold learn a lot from you.ReplyDelete
What is the metal bar coming from the machine I see on the quilting pic?
and...did you hand embroider that or use a machine?Replies
Oh that is totally machine embroidery! I wish I could do something like that by hand :) As for the little metal bar, you should have one in the bag of accessories that came with your Pfaff. It's a quilting guide and it slides into a little hole behind the foot and you can set it at whatever length you would like. It is amazing for giving you nice straight quilting lines!Delete
did you do the embroidery on your pfaff? GUESSING NOT!Delete
Great tutorial and a fabulous needle case!!! I love the little pocket for scissors... so handy. Hope you don't mind, but I'm pinning this.ReplyDelete

Menopause usually affects women between the ages of forty and fifty, and is a period accompanied by a host of symptoms, known as menopause symptoms. However, during postmenopause you may continue to suffer from these same symptoms. These can include hair loss, fatigue and vaginal dryness.
However, one of the most disconcerting postmenopause symptoms for many women is memory loss. While other symptoms may have more tangible affects, memory loss can be very scary. Read on to learn more about your postmenopause memory loss.
The onset of menopause is brought about by hormonal changes in your body. Having balanced levels of hormones in your body is vital. Hormones let you know when you're hungry, tired or in pain. When your hormone levels fluctuate, as can happen during menopause, it causes many of the symptoms of menopause.
The hormonal imbalances a woman experiences during menopause can persist into postmenopause, leading to symptoms including memory loss. Read on to learn how to combat your memory loss during postmenopause.
When you're experiencing memory loss during postmenopause, the world can be a scary place. You're not only contending with other symptoms like vaginal dryness and panic disorders, but you keep forgetting what day it is too! When all these problems mount up, it's natural to feel irritated and suffer from stress. However, treatment options are available that can help re-balance hormone levels, alleviate menopausal symptoms and help you manage your life and health more effectively.
There is no simple cure-all treatment for memory loss and other menopause symptoms, however, many women have found one specific remedy to be particularly effective. This is a traditional mixture created from two ancient herbs. Scientific studies have shown that by mixing ginkgo biloba and ginseng it is possible to create a concoction that can seriously improve your brain power. The combination of ginkgo and ginseng is said to not only boost your concentration but also sharpen your memory. The combined power of these two herbs is so effective that it is even being used to treat Alzheimer's disease in some countries.
These two herbs may also be able to combat other symptoms of menopause because they contain phytoestrogens: super-compounds found in plants genetically similar to estrogen that they may be able to mimic the effect estrogen has on living organisms. However, you should be careful with your intake of ginkgo and ginseng as consuming phytoestrogens can have side effects.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 286 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sunsan wonderful quiet Hotel It was our second time in this Hotel. Many things have changed to the better. We love the Beach, the friendly stuff and the pools are amazing. January 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gpsarros Great resort Really nice resort. Nice beach, good food and great service. Downside is that it is in the middle of nowhere. October 21, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by MJS318 Check in Time - Amenities - Cabana I had stayed in Laguna Resort every year, since 2007 until now, and so far I am satisfied with the services, and had always a happy feeling to be there. Only this time, i have 3 things to highlight : 1) Check in, it took longer than i had expected, but it is still accepted coz the staff was very friendly, i was in hurry for dinner, but I didn't mind waiting coz of the warm greeting. 2) The Amenities in the room - 2.a. the TV remote control. It needs to be replaced, because it didnt work properly, both my friend and I had difficulties to turn on the tv we had to try several times. 2b. The phone. I was going to order food from room service but the phone didnt work, luckily the bellboy was still around and was very helpful he went to call the technician and in less than 10 minutes they managed to replace the phone. 3. The Cabana As far as I remember in the past the cabanas were free for the guests. Back then the Cabanas always full, and when we wanted a cabana we had to wake up early and go quickly to get one... On this visit i noticed many cabanas were empty, and when i wanted to take one the security said that i have to pay for it. This is a resort...and cabanas are part of the facilities that guests should enjoy for free with no additional cost at all to the room charge that guests have paid. February 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Yulka The staff is great, very hard working people. Above my expectation...... July 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by rsetia24 Nice hotel Overall, this is a nice and beautiful hotel. My family and I had a wonderful experience staying in the hotel. However, let me point out several things that needs attention: 1) No exhaust fan in the bathroom. 2) The cutlery in the resto are sometimes not clean. I can understand how busy the staff is working. However, obviously a few staff do not pay attention to the detail. This hotel is a 5 star hotel and it holds a huge reputation. 3) Cleaning service and making up room is somehow late (later than 12 noon) August 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sydneysider Very memorable stay We just loved this hotel and our 3 year old son was quite upset about leaving! We spent most of our time swimming in the warm lagoons and relaxing. It is the perfect place to unwind. Service was exceptional and I rate the breakfast 11 out of 10! Our room had lagoon access and was quite private and very quiet. I especially loved the very comfortable bed, large bath and 24 hour butler. The only thing I would suggest is for the hotel to renovate within the next couple of years to keep up with the competition. It was reasonaby priced though compared to other luxury hotels in Bali and we will definitely return again to enjoy this hotel and the lagoons! December 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by carol452 great pools and beach I arrived in the wee hours in the morning and I was welcomed with a welcome drink. My room was ready. I was upgraded to a suite on the quieter side of the lagoon. To me words cannot describe this hotel. I very enjoyed this hotel very much. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The hotel is shaped like a U. The pools are in the middle. Around one side of the building is a swimmable lagoon on both sides. The pools or the beach was never crowded. I had breakfast every morning in the restaurant closest to the beach. You can sit inside or outside. I had good service for breakfast in the morning. The breakfast buffet consisted on cakes, cereal, sushi, omelette station, fruit cold cuts and Indonesian food. Half way through my stay I had an injury on one of the tours. The medic team at the hotel was very good. I would like to thank the doctor and nurse Elly. The butlers were very good bringing me ice to help with the swelling of my knee. I would also like to thank Aris(manager Butler services) and Dwi(assistant front office manager. They made my stay very comfortable. I checked out of the Laguna and went to another hotel and Aris came with me to make sure everything went okay. I was on crutches and he wanted to make sure I was looked after. Thank you Aris! There is also a small deli where a person can buys some snacks and gelato. I tried the coconut gelato and they were also cookies on the table(in a jar) to try. I had lunch on the beach one day. Prices were comparable to anywhere in Nusa Dua. Outside the hotel near the beach is a beach walk. If you turn right it is a short walk to Bali Collection or you can take the free shuttle. If you don't go to Bali Collection you can keep going to the end past the statues. Or if you turn left you can walk along the beach walk. It is a short walk past the gates to get to Nusa Dua. This hotel is very quiet for relaxing and away from the hustle and bustle of Kuta. January 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tirrawarra Heaven on Earth "Heaven on Earth" This is my 6th trip to Bali but it has been 3 years since the last time I was there. Our first couple of days were spent right in the heart of Kuta and Legian and I couldnt get over how grotty it felt. I was disappointed and considering if I would ever be tempted to come back to the Bali and the people I love. (The Balinese are such a beautiful, gentle friendly race.) Luckily we planned to do something different this time. Spend a few days at Nusa Dua. Wow what a great idea. Bali is great but Nusa Dua is the pinnacle. Nusa Dua is ultra clean and the people friendly. The beaches are pristine and the water clear and warm. We didn't think there was anything to do except lay around a pool and beach but its exactly the opposite with not enough hours in the day, or days in the week to do it all. The highlight for me was walking and cycling the seafront path without finding the end. For my wife it was alternating between relaxing on the sun lounges, swimming in the sea or pool and the beach front dining - which is surprisingly cheap considering how luxurious it all is. Nusa Dua restored my faith in Bali. It is beautiful in every way. We stayed at "The Laguna" right on the beach front which I recommend wholeheartedly. It was almost perfect - actually better than perfect. I think its easy to run a great business when everything is running smooth. But we had a problem - we kept getting locked out of our room - and it kept happening at the most inconvenient of times. However after seeing or hearing of our plight the duty manager "Artana" took control and set out to manage the issue personally for us. It turned out that the constant resetting of our swipe cards at the desk wasnt enough - the card swipe unit on our room door was faulty - it was a 'technology' issue which he diagnosed and fixed immediately. So truth be told 'Artana' turned a frustrating time for us and potentially embarrassing situation for the resort into a positive experience by the way he handled the problem and treated us during that time. We could tell by the way we were treated during this problematic time that we were important to The Laguna and our happiness imperative. As I said earlier its not how a hotel/resort is run during the good times - but rather when problems arise that you can tell a good operator from the mediocre and 'The Laguna' and their duty Manager 'Artana' stand heads and shoulders above anywhere we have ever stayed. We loved "The Laguna", we love Nusa Dua - we plan a longer return visit as soon as possible - it really is "Heaven on Earth" - no where comes more highly recommended. Definitely 5 stars and four thumbs up! June 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by colin2012 Beauty and tranquility Fantastic location. Rooms private, peaceful and well equipped. Staff so friendly and welcoming. Grounds and gardens, lagoons and pools absolutely marvelous. Only minor concerns were the food. The quality was at times too en masse. We shall visit again. August 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JRAPH89 Very nice hotel in Nusa Dua Beautiful resort in Nusa Dua with amazing swimming pools and a nice beach. Executive suites are very nice, and the bed is most comfortable; Location is perfect: quiet place close to some shops and restaurants in Bali Collection shopping center. You are 7€ away by taxi from Kuta / Jimbaran... And the airport is closeby (20 minutes / 6€ by taxi) On a less positive note: - people seemed to put towels on the seats of the swimming pool to keep them for the whole day even if they are not around... we were disappointed to have to deal with these kind of childish things in a 5 star resorts - once, the concierge has been unreliable to support us for the organization of a day trip we wanted to plan in Bali - we were disappointed by the restaurants of the resort: seafood restaurant completely ran out of white wine... service could be improved; we thus went to the Saint Regis restaurantsfor the last 2 days: slightly more expensive but with a much better quality and service in our views - finally, less important but still... TV sets would need to be renewed and an on-demand service should be added as the selection of DVDs proposed at the concierge could really be improved. All in all, we had a rather nice stay but thought we could have had a better experience from a 5 star luxury collection hotel. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimo11 Beautiful Hotel We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Laguna. The hotel is "fragrantly beautiful"...the perfect ambiance for a restful, romantic getaway. The grounds were meticulously maintained so that evey area was inviting and pleasing. Love the trees and orchids around, the pools and little bridges, and the beachside dining with the lovely lanterns above. It was truly a wonderful experience for us, made special by the attentive, caring staff like Adi at the front desk. He graciously extended a late checkout for us to accommodate our late flight. July 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Bernarda Not as forthcoming as I expected from a Luxury Collection hotel The hotel has very nice Balinese features and the "staff on the ground" was very helpful, unfortunately this does not count in my case for the welcome and pre-welcome administration. This made me actually shorten my stay and reduce my grading. If I book the luxury collection I expect excellence in treating a customer. This was not the case here. The resort itself is fairly big and attached left and right directly to other hotels in a little "hotel enclave". If you do not want to travel, the hotel offers everything you need. Especially recommendable is the spa and cornerstone place for little bites in between. April 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by jetles 2011 bali... (1st hotel stay...) Our 3rd time staying this hotel. Firstly the suite allocated to us is not good due to bad view & not privacy + have smoke smell as we have requested non smoking but they saying that all room/ suite can be smoking or non smoking. As I not agree & they change us to the suite on the top floor that is non smoking floor & more privacy, but we need to wait for few hours. As Platinum & return guest, we not fell they appreciation. F&B is expensive. November 28, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ed0115 So glad I was staying here. Three unpleasant but not-so-matter things: 1. I checked in at 5:30pm but room was still not yet ready; 2. I was asked to try Arwana's breakfast which was not as good as Banyubiru; 3. the staff in Cornerstone was absent for more than 5 minutes Other than these three, I enjoyed all my four days here. The frontdesk was so cheerful and kept apologizing therefore I couldn't complain too much on the not-ready room. All staff I met were polite and cheerful. I had dinner in Arwana, which might raise my expectation to the breakfast, was very nice. Oyster, Clams and etc were delicious. I tried butler services twice and very attentive and services were so prompt. Will definitely come here again. April 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by surfski808 Grande Damme showings it's age but that will be addressed shortly Being one of the first 5 star resorts in Nusa Dua, it is beginning to show its age and some wear and tear. The resort is still gorgeous and has a prime beachfront location. It's only when one digs a little deeper do the cracks and faults appear. I was able to spend some time with the new GM (who only just started the week I arrived). We discussed some of my observations and he was taking notes the entire time. I can tell he has the experience and commitment to both his guests and staff and is eager to make this property one of the finest in Bali. Thanks Sven, for the adaptor and making my stay special.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Blondie3204 5 Star Accommodation - In Every Details Our stay at Laguna Resort& Spa in Nusa Dua was like being in paradise. Every need we could possibly have was met. The room was immaculately clean, our bed linen & towels changed everyday. Our bed turned down in the evening, fresh fruit on arrival & a 24 Hour Butler service. Staff were quick to respond & nothing was ever too much trouble. We can't wait to return to this beautiful hotel. All the Staff were just fantastic. We will not be staying anywhere else when we return to Bali. Mark & Heather July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emmieb Wonderful Absolutely wonderful hotel. The staff was super kind and helped us with our every need, always with a smile. The pools had sand in them, and one could bath in many of them, although it didn't look like it in the pictures. If I had to say something bad it would be that the the prices was a bit expensive (for Indonesia) and that the food was a bit booring, didn't taste that much (did not try the indonesian, which probably was better tasting). July 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by maxtom5024 A real 5-Star Hotel The Hotel is in a very good shape, everything very clean and proper, Garden and pool and beach area like in paradise. The staff is extremly friendly. The food especially in the beach restaurtant deserves at least one "michelin star". The only one thing we wanted is a bit more flexibility when half board is booked in advance. There is a special menu for half board. If you want to have items from the á la carte menu you have to pay it extra the whole amount without compensation. Also the wineprices are a bit over the top for european standards. June 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Puneet84 Excellent....Words are not enough! I used my SPG points to stay just one night in Laguna Resort, Bali. I mentioned to them that I am celebrating my 1st Marriage Anniversary. They upgraded me to Executive Suite. Also sent us gifts, cake and offered discounts in restaurants. I am frequent traveler and stayed many hotels across globe but my experience in Laguna resort was exceptional. Room: Beyond Expectation - Spacious, clean, with all facilities. Service - Excellent service - In seconds someone pick your phone at reception and that is one point of contact for all your needs. You don't have to tell them twice for any request. Hotel Staff - Extremely Polite and Helpful Beach - Very lean and quite. Ideal for romantic vacations Facilities - Very nice Spa, excellent pools and other facilities available I stayed at Jimbaran and Kuta also with other branded hotels but none was near to Laguna Resorts. Stay at Laguna Resorts definitely increase pleasure of your holidays atleast by twice as comparison to any other branded hotel. August 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Merican A bit dated Hotel service was very good by all staff. The property grounds are amazing and beautiful and restaurants were great. However, the rooms are aged a bit and could really use an upgrade. The chair I went to sit it had the left arm rest loose (Room 318). All else was very nice... July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by hao10000 A wonderful trip It's really a great resort with 7 swimmng pool and wide view beach shared with other hotel. Standard lagoon access room is not so big but enough and good platinum benifit. Breakfast is richful but dinner is not as good as you have in Bali Collection. The only thing I have concern is the housekeeping. Almost everyday I have to call to ask new shampoo or shower gel, they always forgot to replace used ones. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aussie712 Another loverly stay We previously stayed 2009 and returned July 2012 for another enjoyable 9 days. We particularly liked the extensive gardens and large beautifully landscaped swimming pools providing many private spots in addition to other popular tree shaded or sunny beach areas. Breakfast was great with a huge international range complemented by other onsite restaurants and beach front barbecue. Generally the food and service were excellent but seafood tended to be overcooked, and the jacuzzi steam bath area we much enjoyed in 2009 has been closed. Our friends had a great first time and said they would return. August 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoshMommy This hotel is a one-stop service I love the luxury collection. They just have everything you need, from needs to wants. The Laguna in Bali has a great location. 25 minutes away from airport (if traffic is smooth), next to the beach, 10 minutes walk from Bali Collection and about 10 minutes drive from a nice Balinese restaurant. The Laguna has rentals of bicycles, paddling boards, children beach toys, table-tennis etc, that will never bore you. Staff are always polite, and always ready to assist you. The only thing we experienced, perhaps generally everywhere in Bali, if you request for bill, it may take an average of 25 minutes to complete the process. Overall The Laguna is a great resort that makes you feel you are on a nice vacation. April 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Humblepie Friendly smiling staff Had a pleasant short stay, wonderful staff & good orientation fm staff Adi & Sudirman. Great sea view for relaxing stroll. Kettle given as requested prior to confirmation but surprised with tea/coffee selection. Good firm mattress for comfy night. Fair selection of buffet selection with clean restaurant. Good internet connection. Happy with recycling water bottles-save environment. Room chair (linen top) looked dirty, toiletries not topped up - did't ask cos brought my own. Changed kettle -there was rust in 1st one. Toilet rim brown with dirt. Cleaning staff manage to find a bermudas( short pants) not belonging to us and hope it finds it owner (previous tenant's?) Thanks for a comfortable stay. June 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Travelling New Year's meal I was surprised by the fact that there was a compulsary dinner on NY EVE. I was not told this at the time of the reservation in explicit terms it was rather hidden as a click and read. At $250. per person it was definetely not worth the price. The food taste was average at best except for the main course. The service varied from excellent to inexperienced. The fire works were limited. The dance fire was nice but could have had other things as well. I would not recommnend this approach unless stated as a condition of the reservation to which the client agrees with a check mark ahead of time. January 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by AZDavid Recent 4-night stay We enjoyed many aspects of this hotel including the fabulous location with nice relaxing beach. All staff members were quite friendly and helpful. The hotel also helped us hire a wonderful private driver for a 6-7 hour tour. Throughout our stay, we had a nice sampling of a variety of tasty food and very much appreciated their ability to deal with our various food allergies. My daughter and I both had the best massages of our life at the onsite spa. That's quite a compliment because we've both had 150+ massages. However, there were some things that kept this hotel from receiving 5's. And in fact, I'm not sure if I could come back unless some specific changes were made because certain things are just too important for us when traveling 9,000 miles (one way) for a vacation. Unfortunately, our relaxation was often interrupted by slamming doors at several of the neighboring hotel rooms. The hotel needs to place self-closing mechanisms on the room doors which would prevent people from slamming their door. They also need to figure out a way to encourage people not to be so noisy in the hallways. Perhaps some soundpoofing or polite signs encouraging quiet. We also experienced frustration while trying to arrange for pick-up at the airport. Some of the staff either weren't reading our entire emails or they lack sufficent understanding of English. I have a feeling it's the latter. This was an extremely frustrating process requiring 3-4 emails and not knowing if we were being picked-up at the airport, how to find the driver, etc. They finally sorted this out after someone more senior reviewed our plea for help. In summary, this hotel is well-located, has very friendly staff, very good food, nicely landscaped grounds, very reasonable prices for a variety of services and could easily move to a 4.5 (or higher) by addressing these two important areas.

Rated 3 out of 5 by adawn Service need improvement The service is bad I just came back from staying for 4 nights, the room looks old but still good. The Lagoon is nice. The complimentary internet access is nice too. The hotel service is bad, especially the waiters at Banyu Biru and Arwana when we had our breakfast. I never saw a smile on their faces, especially the female ones. One time i asked a server by the name Sudarsini for a papaya juice. It took her more than 30 min to get that, and she said the kitchen can't find the papaya. The best services we got for our stay are from Mr. Adi and his front desk crews, they helped a lot and very nice. Mr Agung and his cornerstone deli crews also provided a very good service, although we only had 1 lunch there. February 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nafets Watermelon by the Pool We enjoyed our stay at The Laguna as it is the perfect place to unwind and relax quickly. Starting from the arrival we were well taken care of and able to forget the stress from work instantly. The staff has the eye for detail and ensures goes the extra step. My girlfriend's birthday dinner was arranged by the sea and I can highly recommend the "Romantic Island Dinner" arrangement. Great memories! But the best of it all: Order the jumbo ice teas and fresh cut watermelon by the pool or beach. Vacation cannot get any better! June 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MJRanavana Would not call it a luxery resort A good solid 5 star hotel but would not describe it as a luxery resort. It is not exclusive enough and was often too packed, especially at the pool area. Also, the room quality was ok and twice we had linen that was ripped. The quality of towels is also poor for a luxery hotel. That said, the staff were very attentative, and the property was clean to a 5 star standard. The spa was also very good and the 15% discount for gold members was attractive. Lobby was the best part of the hotel. Would not return but would definately recommend. June 1, 2014

Obama right to bypass Congress
- 11:59 pm Saturday, February 1st, 2014 by Rhonda Swan
Republicans are throwing a tantrum over President Obama's announcement during the State of the Union Tuesday that he would bypass Congress and use his executive powers to execute part of his agenda.
What else is the man supposed to do in the face of this do-thing obstructionist Congress?
It's not as if any of his actions are all that sweeping. His executive powers are limited and what's he proposed is minor compared to what he actually wants.
Take the minimum wage. Obama said he will issue an executive order forcing federal contractors to pay their employees a minimum of $10.10 an hour. First, [More]
Time to raise the minimum wage?
- 11:59 pm Sunday, October 20th, 2013 by Rhonda Swan
Fast-food workers cost taxpayers nearly $7 billion in welfare costs each year, according to a study issued Tuesday by the University of California at Berkeley.
That's because the workers at restaurants such as Wendy's and McDonald's are forced onto the public dole from wages that are too low for them to get by, the study found.
The study found that about 52 percent of fast-food workers receive some form of public assistance, compared with 25 percent of the general workforce.
"The taxpayer costs we discovered were staggering," said Ken Jacobs, chair of UC Berkeley's Center for Labor Research and Education and coauthor of [More]
Should fast-food workers be paid $15 an hour?
- 1:31 pm Wednesday, August 7th, 2013 by Opinion Staff
Fast-food workers across the country have begun a push for raising their minimum pay to $15 an hour.
That increase would more than double the current federal minimum wage of $7.25. In Florida, which indexes the minimum wage to reflect increases in the cost of living, the 2013 minimum wage is $7.79 an hour.
This week fast-food workers staged protests in New York, Chicago, Detroit and other cities. The workers, who carried signs that said "Supersize Our Wages," say they work hard but just can't make ends meet.
President Barack Obama has called for raising the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour.

Should Congress raise the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour?
- 11:25 am Monday, February 18th, 2013 by Opinion Staff
In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama urged Congress to raise the federal minimum wage to $9 from $7.25 by the end of 2015.
The president portrayed the increase as a way to help lift workers and their families out of poverty. Some states, such as Florida, actually have set the minimum wage above the federal level. Florida's minimum wage, which is adjusted annually depending on changes in the cost of living, is $7.79.
