Just got back yesterday so thought I would post this under this heading for those interested in this hotel..
Stayed at the Kuta Beach Club Hotel
Located: in Tuban across road from Kuta Paradiso
The name of the hotel made it sound that this was the place for youngins but my mum and sister stayed in November and loved it.
Was really pleasantly surprised how good it was for the price. Two really large pools with swim up bar. Child pool too.
Staff were so friendly and nothing too much trouble. Would heat up tin food I had bought for my daughter, played with our daughter, got us tea and coffee whenever we wanted, just so easygoing...no problem if you forgot to sign your towels back in, etc
I think these smaller hotels really make you feel special as all the staff know you and nothing is too much trouble.
Room - was clean and tidy....I will say the room was a little smaller than some places we have stayed but definitely fine for 2 people.....I probably found it small because my daughter had all her toys and stuff all over the place and she shared our bed...although you could ask for a put up bed but we thought considering how small the room was it would make it too cramped. Don't get me wrong, despite the small room we loved the place.
They also have deluxe rooms and suites. We just had the standard room.
Food in Hotel: great prices so it was wonderful being able to sit back and order food, drinks, etc without worrying about what the bill would cost at the end of the trip.....100% mango juices to die for at $1.65 each....lovely to sit at pool bar sipping one of these.
Internet Access - cost only 500 rupiah for 1 minute so 10 minutes cost about 70 cents. Hardly anyone uses so always available to use anytime of day and night.
Location: The location was perfect for us. Very short stroll to Matahari in Kuta Square and much to our daughters delight, McDonalds...she went almost every day and became known on first name basis by the staff who fussed over her like no tomorrow....i think this was one of the main attractions and reason for her asking to go to 'donnies' as she calls it every minute of the day.
Also across the road from great DVD shop, SAKURA.
Not that far up to Centro Shopping Centre, pizza hut and across the road from Beach markets so everything was at our doorstop......great especially with small child.
Breakfast: Included in the price and great start to the day...with selection of:
Cereal
Fresh Fruit
Fruit Juice
Tea/Coffee
Eggs cooked any style while you wait - scrambled, omellette, boiled, fried...if you can think of a way with eggs they will do it :)
Nasi Goreng
Mie Goreng
Daily changes to other hot options - eg banana fritters, corn fritters, pancakes, sausages, ham, bacon......just a tip they dont often have bacon but if you ask they will get you some freshly made every day.
Toast/Jam
