after 20plus trips to Bali I decided that instead of staying in our usual Ubud or Nusa Dua I would stay in Kuta (Nusa Dua was booked out & closed off due to IMF meeting at end of trip too). I was the first time I had stayed in this area of Kuta and it was very family friendly & easy. it was walking distance to Waterbom and any restaurant you could want. We were spoilt for choice! My boys LOVED the pool we stayed at the hotel for 3 days just going between pool & kids club which was fantastic. The staff are SO friendly & helpful including Pablo, Mike and Listi from pool activities & kids club. Everyday there are activities for the kids to join in on like golf, darts, bingo, dive bombs & swimming competitions. just a very pleasant surprise
