Great hotel. Clean and comfortable rooms and has all the amenities necessary. Good variety of choice at breakfast. Staff are very friendly. You can stay a whole day in the hotel, use the gym, pool and go for a massage and relax without stepping out. It is located about 600m from the main tourist strip of south Kuta (Jalan Kartika Plaza) which can be accessed through a small but busy lane where all the bars, restaurants and nightlife that life is. And a further short walk to Kuta beach. But being away from that touristy space means that you are not hassled outside your hotel, and have the peace of moving around without someone trying to solicit you every few steps. There are many road side stalls (though cleanliness maybe an issue with some of them) just outside the hotel along with 3 mini markets, a local bakery and small shops where you can do laundry and purchase basic needs. As far as small descent restaurants go, there are only 2 beside the hotel. One of them is a must visit, family owned, place called Marilyn Kitchen and Cafe Bali. The place is a gem! Tasty food, fantastic selection of coffee and cold drinks (including cocktails, a variety of coffee mixes and fruit juices). The family are so friendly and welcoming and looks into all your specific dietary needs. And they are all reasonably priced. Jeremy, the son, who speaks fairly good English and manages the cafe, was keen to ask if I had any allergies and concerns about food and when I told him what they were, he instructed his mum, Linda, and the kitchen staff, to make all my food to my needs. His dad, Rio, does the drinks and is very creative with them. They, together with their staff, are very welcoming, attentive, friendly, humble and gentle in their service that makes you want to visit them because they make you feel belonged. I visited them so many times for meals, coffee and drinks and was never disappointed. The place has such good vibe.
