Kartika Plaza hotel only because inlaws always stayed there and we stayed across road in smaller cheaper hotel (2 rooms). We checked out kartika rooms many a time and they were ok...getting a bit tired, but still very nice hotel and huge..beautiful big grounds grassed etc and in great location, you can walk outside hotel and be in amongst everything in minutes...My inlaw loved this hotel but now now they love the Patra, becuase of the rooms, massive, beautiful resort like kartika but villa style accom, not 4 or 5 levels of rooms with elevators/stairs etc..The only thing with Patra is location, you are on 10 hectares on beachfront, you are secluded away from road etc and this is what we liked..The hotel offers 5 free shuttles a day to kuta, main drag or cabs sit outside of resort and staff in lobby call one in for you, $1 or bit more to take you around corner to where kartika is and hussle bussle...its deceiving because you are quite close to everything but resort is on large grounds...I am a shopper and i did not miss being able to walk out front of hotel anc shop shop shop...if anything it made me relax in the huge pools etc...the Patra is slighty cheaper and better value i reckon from my experience..you wont be disappointed...you can email Vira

reservation.bali@patra-jasa.com
she does all the bookings etc and if you email her direct and put in request she will try and do for you..hotels only allocate your room 1 week before you arrive..so you can contact Vira earlier and put in your request...Hope all this helps...cheers lisa...
