In Reply to: Opinion of the following hotels posted by QDgirl on Tuesday, 29. December 2009 at 12:09 Bali Time:
We stayed at the Vira in April. Lovely small boutique hotel...we upgraded to a deluxe room on the ground floor, so was only a few steps to the pool. Hardly anyone ever used the pool, so often we were the only ones around it.
Stayed at the Kartika a few years back with the kids....lovely big pool area...swim up bar...on the beach...but is a lot more expensive than the Vira.
Also have stayed at the Holiday Inn years ago...Kids quite small and was a long way to walk into kuta with them. Also on the beach. Holiday Inn recently has been fully renovated I think and has had a name change. Also a few more dollars than the Vira.
As someone suggested trip advisor has lots of reviews on all of the hotels you mentioned.
