Must-Watch Before FINNS! 4 Mistakes That Could Cost You 4 Million IDR
Escape to a tropical paradise without leaving the city at Kaimana, a new Hawaiian-inspired oasis. The lush, bamboo-filled interior and soothing waterfall will make you feel like you're on vacation. Dive into modern island cuisine like Ahi Poke Nachos and slow-roasted Kalua Pig, or sip on a rum-based tiki cocktail from the bar. It's the perfect spot for a
As the saying goes, half the people in Bali are on their way to FINNS, and the other half are already there. That's really not an exaggeration at all! I just got back from there yesterday, feeling completely drained but also incredibly exhilarated. This place is just one of those things you have a love-hate relationship with. Come on, let this veteran break it down for you, and see if FINNS is really worth the hype!
Immersive Nongkrong, the Vibe is Maxed Out
The moment you walk in, the wave of heat and music just hits you in the face! 🤯 It's packed with people, but that's the Vibe at FINNS! We booked a poolside Daybed in advance, and honestly, that was such a smart move. Lying on the bed, with the pool at your feet and the Indian Ocean right in front of you, the DJ's music was just right, slowly transitioning from a chill afternoon rhythm to a party mode at night. The whole experience was the epitome of "relaxation."
Now let's talk about the food and drinks. The drink menu was dazzling. I ordered a few cocktails; mine was quite strong, but my friend complained that hers tasted watered down[1]… The quality control seems a bit hit-or-miss, haha. As for the food, it's a mix of pleasant surprises and mediocrity. You HAVE to order the tempura shrimp sushi[2], it was so good I wanted to get a portion to-go! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, absolutely amazing. The pizza[3] was also not bad, with generous toppings and a fragrant crust. But the rest... well, you know, just average for a tourist spot[4].
Let's Get Real: Is Your Wallet Ready?
Alright, let's have a heart-to-heart. FINNS is not cheap, you could even say it's expensive. The minimum spend for the Daybed we booked was 4 million Indonesian Rupiah[5], and although it can be used for food and drinks, it gets used up pretty quickly. Overall, what you're paying for is the stunning sunset sea view, a top-tier party atmosphere, and the satisfaction of "checking in at Bali's hottest landmark." If you're coming for the food, you might be disappointed.

Finally, for the girls planning to go, here are a few hard-earned lessons. Save this!
Alright, I'll stop rambling. Hope you guys have a great time! Have fun in Bali! 🤙
- Book! Book! Book! Important things must be said three times! Especially on weekends or if you want a good spot, you basically have no chance without booking in advance. Don't just show up naively, it'll be hard to even find a place to stand[1].
- Arriving around 1 PM is perfect. This time isn't the most crowded, so you can leisurely soak in the pool, take some photos, and slowly wait for the stunning sunset. This will max out your experience.
- Keep your eyes peeled when paying the bill! Be sure to check it carefully! A friend of mine was overcharged for items before[6]. It's always wise to be extra careful when you're out and about.
- Bring some cash. Although they claim to be cashless, you sometimes still need cash for small things like renting a locker[7]. Don't ask me how I know... it's a tearful story.
