The five star hotel Molly Mae Hague's sister Zoe was staying in Bali before fleeing the country after 48 hours is revealed - after she left because it didn't live up to expectations
The influencer has been mocked online for leaving the stunning country after just 48 hours, because it didn't match up to what she had seen on Instagram.
Zoe, 28, had planned the trip to Indonesia with her husband Danny to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.
And despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead.
The resort is set dramatically on the cliffs of Bali's Bukit Peninsula, near the iconic Uluwatu Temple, and offers views of the Indian Ocean.
It boasts more than 100 deluxe double rooms and 14 luxury suites, which have a separate living and dining area, a rooftop terrace and panoramic views.
It is not clear which specification of room Zoe and her husband Danny chose to stay in on their brief trip to the country.
Zoe explained that Bali looks better on social media than in real life, as influencers make it look luxurious, despite it being a developing country.
In a new YouTube video, Zoe told the camera: 'Since landing in Bali, something for us wasn't quite right.
'We came here with high expectations because we had seen on social media that everyone was having such a lovely time. Lovely places to eat and beaches, and lovely gyms and coffee shops.
'But I don't think the reality of Bali is shown much at all, and I do think it is down to a lot of influencers posting the more luxury side of things.'
She added: 'Before joining the army, I spent five months travelling South East Asia. I did Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, I did a lot and spent time in these countries. But there is something very different about Bali.
'We got told Uluwatu where we are now is one of the best places to go, so if this is one of the better places, I'm not sure where the other places are like.
'I wasn't going to sit down and say anything, but people want to know.'
Danny then joined the video and said: 'You either go on holiday to travel and experience culture or you want to go away and relax.'
Zoe continued: 'Yeah, and we could have got a flight tomorrow as today is our anniversary, but time is precious and we just want to get out, and why delay it.
'We missed the mark, maybe we didn't do our own research, maybe it is our own fault. I did a lot of research though.
'I think it is just personal preference, and our preference was that this isn't for us, and we are making the executive decision to go enjoy our anniversary somewhere we know that we love and can relax and can drink the water.'

Fans were divided in the comment section, with many claiming they loved Bali and asking for specific reasons why she didn't like it.
'I find this really surprising seeing as you travelled this part of the world. Everywhere there is like this - the 5* resorts are social media worthy but ultimately it's a developing area of the world and lots of the people there live in poverty.';
'That is such a shame you didn't have a good experience:( Bali is a truly magical place with incredible people! But it is a poor country and I think people forget that and expect it to be like Dubai when that isn't the reality. Hope you have a good time in Dubai.';
'I'm interested to know what exactly you didn't like about it? You didn't really go into specifics? I travelled there last year and loved it!';
Others agreed with Zoe, adding: I'm just home from backpacking Australia, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and I can hands down agree with the insta vs reality with Bali!! We tried to enjoy it as much as we could but it is 100% portrayed sooo differently by influencers,'
'Why is everyone hating? Bali isn't for everyone, they arrived and didn't like it? Why would they waste time & money somewhere they're not enjoying?'
In 2019, Zoe's sister Molly-Mae shared with fans that she 'fell in love with Bali' as she shared a series of stunning snaps to Instagram.
Zoe later shared a photo dump on Instagram, showcasing her lavish Dubai trip after leaving Bali.

The couple stayed at Atlantis The Royal, with rooms starting from around £290 per night during July, which is considered low season. In peak season, rooms can cost £1,570 a night.
Zoe shared on Instagram: 'Danny surprised me with a stat at @atlantistheroyal which I couldn't believe!!!
'Going at this time of year definitely helped as everything was a lot cheaper!! For a very special occasion it's perfect.'
It comes after Zoe gave her followers an update on her botched Botox in a new clip posted to her Story.
The influencer was initially left with one eye partially closed from a severe reaction to Botox in February, telling her fans she 'could weep' at the state of her face.
But just a few months later she was back again to 'rock her forehead lines' despite vowing never to return - with Zoe suffering a botched Botox which she described as even 'worse than last time'.
The star has been left - once again - with one eye drooping below the other but on Wednesday reassured her followers it was getting better.
Showing off her healing eye area she penned: 'EYE UPDATE. Still not great but my GOD it's soooo much better!!!! 3 weeks post incident I'm actually quite happy!'
Zoe revealed she was brutally mocked for her latest botched B otox by a passenger on an airplane, resulting in an explosive row.
Zoe shared that during a recent trip to Portugal with a friend, she became embroiled in a dispute with one particularly rude passenger on their flight.
Rocking a pair of sunglasses on her YouTube channel to hide the botch-job, she said: 'I actually had a really really upsetting experience just as we landed in Portugal.
'We were in a queue and there was another one going past us and there was this one horrible lady, I don't know if she was drunk - she must've been.
'She was trying to get past me and she said, 'why are you just stood there like a d*******' and I was like, 'why did you just call me that?'
'And her husband was like, 'what's going on here' and I said, 'your wife just called me that for literally no reason' and there was a bit of back and forth before he said, 'sort your daft eye out, you c***.''
'But I actually agreed, I thought fair enough. I do need to sort it out.'
Later in the video Zoe lifted up her sunglasses to reveal that one of her eyes is still well and truly drooping a couple of weeks after her latest procedure.
She is suffering with a little-known side effect called ptosis which occurs when Botox treatment spreads beyond the intended injection area and effects the muscles that lifts these areas, causing the eyelid or eyebrow to sag and droop.
Zoe told her followers in the latest video: 'I recently had botox, it went wrong and it's given me ptosis. This has happened to me before and it's now happened a second time.
'People are saying to me, 'why would you go back to the same place?' - I did the same for my wedding, she's done me a lot of times and I trust her.
'She's fully qualified, do you think I'm going to someone on the corner of the street? Of course not.
'We don't know why it's happened again and that's that, we've just got to ride the wave.'
Zoe's decision to have Botox once again comes after her sister Molly, 26, recently reflected on days of facial fillers and Botox in her Amazon docuseries.
In one of the episodes Molly unearthed a viral image of her flaunting an enlarged pout and defined jawline sparked an influx of trolling including being compared to an XBOX controller.
From the age of 16, Molly used makeup and facial fillers to alter her appearance and now admits her obsession to 'look like everybody else' was 'unhealthy.'
Molly explained: 'You think that all the makeup and the filler make you look better but actually it makes you look ten times worse.
'I was about 16/17 when I started getting filler. It was a slippery slope. People say I looked like an XBOX controller or a Quagmire, but I don't know what that is.
'It definitely felt like something that I needed to do to look like everybody else that was on Instagram which was really unhealthy.
'I look at those pictures and I feel quite sorry for myself. It just spiralled really. I tried to think it looked good, but it really didn't and then luckily, it was reversible.'

Billie Faiers brutally mum-shamed as trolls brand her daughter Nelly a 'spoilt brat' and accuse star of 'showing off' after extravagant Coachella themed 11th birthday party
Billie Faiers has faced brutal mum shaming after she threw an extravagant Coachella themed party for her daughter Nelly's 11th birthday.

Too much money'; 'Think I got a tenner in a card for my 11 birthday'; 'Cannot imagine what the milestone birthdays will look like. Yes they can afford it and good for them, just dont put it on social media. 'Wow. If this is what happens at an 11th party what on earth will she get for an 18th /21st?' 'Spoilt brat, can you not show things like this when there are families with children if the sam age as her, who would love just a small bit of this for there birthday's but because of the state of this country they can't.'; 'I'm confused! Loved watching your show but you stopped filming stating Nelly was at an age where you didn't want her in limelight…yet here you are opening her up to a whole new level'. Yet Billie's loyal fans rushed to her defense as they called out the vile trolls for their jealous comments. They penned: 'Some of these comments are vile, absolutely vile. She's your baby who turned 11, why not spoil her, I would too. Happy 11th birthday to Nelly. she's a loved and adored little girl by her family, how can people be so mean'; 'The jealousy on her posts always makes me laugh, if you had her house and her money. You would do the exact same thing, I would! I would throw the exact same pool party if I had 1. Taking to the comments they accused Nelly of being a 'spoilt brat' and criticised Billie for flaunting her wealth on social media Yet Billie's loyal fans rushed to her defense as they called out the vile trolls for their jealous comments Others also gushed over how amazing the celebrations looked 'I would have a house like that, go on the same amount of holidays would do nothing different. Happy birthday Nelly good luck at senior school xx'. Others were quick to send nicer messages as they added: 'Looked incredible! Hope you had the best party Nelly'. Billie previously came under fire from fans after revealing she bought daughter Nelly a horse for her 10th birthday. Fans were quick to accuse the mother-of-three of 'spoiling' her daughter with the expensive present, while others called the post a display of wealth after Billie shared snaps of Nelly with her new four-legged friend. Yet Billie had no regrets about her gift, sharing her delight at making Nelly's 'dreams come true.' Billie previously opened up about being mum-shamed, and explained why she doesn't let negative comments affect her. Speaking to MailOnline she said: 'You're always gonna get some negative comments and negative people, it's just part and parcel of it. 'I'm quite thick skinned, thankfully I get quite a lot of positive feedback, but of course you're gonna get others. 'At the end of the day it's just opinions, not everyone is gonna have think the same of have the same way of parenting and that's okay. 'But obviously because of social media people can put their opinion out there where else normally you would never see it. 'But I don't let it get to me because if I did I wouldn't be able to be focused and be good mum to the kids because I'd be too in tune with that. I just try not to take notice of it.'
