about the Paradise Plaza Hotel. I must agree it is big, nicely presented but no where near the beach! Can I add that it is also no where near decent restaurants or live music, plus it is located on the bypass road. The beer there just happens to cost more than double that of many other places.
If you want to immerse yourself in a bit of Balinese culture you can always slip across the road to KFC or Dunkin' Donuts. Or you can stroll next door to The Inna(Grand Bali Beach) high rise hotel. You could also sit beside the road and count the number of trucks and buses going past.
I can not understand why travel agents book people for a holiday on a tropical island and then put them in a hotel that is on a 4 lane highway.
