For the past few months the maintenance staff, with the help of other staff, has been very busy repainting all the veranda's around the Hotel and catching up on all ongoing repairs before the High Season. We even managed to squeeze in a small staff party near the end of Low Season, where all our guests joined in the fun around the bar and pool.
The Managing Director's dog, a 6 year old female Siberian Husky (with blue eyes) named Prada, has claimed the bar as her own and spends most of the evenings greeting guests into the bar area, where they all make a very big fuss over her. We have now decided to re-name our bar, the "Prada Bar" and make Prada the official Hotel mascot and the only female permitted in the Hotel. Although Prada is considerably over weight, due to her lavish lifestyle in Bali, she still manages to get up a trot when she spots the local cats in the Hotel grounds, but unfortunately she never seems to keep up the pace and retires from the chase gracefully to the comfort of her bar.
We are presently constructing a new bar in the Hotel grounds, to be located adjacent to the swimming pool, where at peak times around the pool, guests can relax and sip a cool beer or cocktail and be pampered without having to get off their loungers. The Pool Side Bar is due for completion by the 22 nd July, when a small ceremony will take place to officially declare the Pool Side Bar open. We presently offer complimentary hot coffee in the Prada Bar and we will extend this service to the Pool Side Bar also.
Pizzas are back on our menu again, the only food we actually outsource now, also the introduction of Spartacvs hamburgers and toasted sandwiches, which are available in the Prada Bar and Pool Side. We have greatly improved our main menu, especially for Indonesian food lovers and gradually introducing more western style cuisine. Recently our barmen and waiters all attended a one day course, hosted by Bali Moon and learnt the finer points of making a first-class and appealing cocktail. Since the completion of the course, the bar staff have introduced 16 new Bali Moon cocktails to our already large drink list and every evening offer a "cocktail of the day" at a reduced price.
As we are now in Bali's High Season, the Hotel has been completely booked out over the past week and will continue at high occupancy through to the end of August. Several months ago we received our first group booking, a party of 11 Australian men, staying at Spartacvs for 9 nights during the first week of August. They are mainly here to celebrate the 30 th Birthday of one of their friends and combined with the Hotels other guests, it should be a very interesting week for all. A BBQ party is set down for Friday evening the 1 st August, which all our guests are invited to attend.
The biggest event of the year will take place on Monday the 1 st September 2008, when Spartacvs is officially 1 year old, our first Birthday. Most of the arrangements are still being kept secret and will not be released till about 2 weeks prior to the big event, but admission will be by "special invitation" only.
