Resorts are hanging on by a thread.......

After nearly a year of this ongoing pandemic, the big resorts in Bali are barely able to cover overhead costs.  If the pandemic persists and tourism doesn't go back to the way it used to be, I see many of these resorts headed towards closure.  Walking around this resort, I felt that it resembled more of a nuclear fallout zone than a lively resort.

This was the first time for my wife and I to stay at Nusa Dua Resort and Spa.  This resort was built in 1983 and the first of its kind in the core ITDC area.  I could tell that the hotel was old by the fact that the main pool is over two meters deep (most modern hotels built today only have a pools between 1 - 1,3 meters deep).  It underwent a massive renovation in 1993 and still remains the same until today.  All of the restaurants and clubs were closed with the exception of the main restaurant, "Wedang Jahe".
