could say whether you are physically fit or not and what you are expecting from your first trip to Bali.
Sometimes it is better to go for a few more * stars hotel so that you can be comfortable on your first trip, so that you don't get put off by the lack of accommodation amenities that you may be used to on past trips or even what you are used to at home.
I would reccomend the Tuban area, it is a little quieter than Kuta itself but within walking distance of Kuta.
Look through a few brochures from travel agents then come back for opinions on the hotels you think might suit.
My dad who is in his middle 70's goes to Bali at least twice a year, has stayed at numerous hotels large and small and in different areas but tends to stay at the smaller hotels now.
