The Citadines Kuta Beach Bali is a contemporary three-and-a-half-pearl hotel located directly across from Kuta Beach. Many popular restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and shops are within walking distance. Guests are mainly young couples and groups of friends in town to enjoy the beach, affordable shopping, and nightlife. There is a range of rooms options available, and while all are fresh and bright, none have balconies. Higher category rooms do stand out, with additions like kitchenettes, washing machines, and spacious living rooms. The hotel contains a small fitness center, a laundry room, meeting rooms, two restaurants, and a rooftop pool. Alternatively, the nearby Patra Jasa Bali Resort has similar features and a direct beachfront setting, though rooms are more classically Balinese and rates are higher.

The upscale 228-room Patra Jasa Bali Resort & Villas is beachfront hotel with exceptional grounds within a five-minute drive of Kuta's attractions and restaurants. Contemporary rooms all have balconies (some with ocean views), air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi, while exceptional Villas have extras including private pool access and 24/7 butler service. The airport is essentially next door, but plane noise isn't a bother here, though there are minor upkeep issues in guest rooms. The three outdoor pools plus several on-site restaurants and bars are a plus for the families and large group tours that pass through, and there is a full-service spa as well. For a resort this size a fitness center would be a welcome addition, and guests should compare rates at the Bali Garden Beach Resort, where that feature is included.

The 177-room Bali Garden Beach Resort is a sprawling, three-pearl resort overlooking Kuta Beach and less than a 15-minute walk from the beach town's many restaurants, shops, and attractions. Rooms are large and unfussy, outfitted with all the requisite amenities and decorated in slightly dated Balinese style; many have balconies or terraces, and either ocean or garden views. Family Rooms and Villas are especially spacious, and have private courtyards and kitchenettes. The 13 restaurants and bars offer a range of international cuisines and drinks -- some paired with panoramic ocean views -- but the resort's standout features are the three outdoor pools, one of which has a small kids' area and a swim-up bar, though all three close early in the evening. There’s also a spa, which offers a full range of treatments and has a deep soaking tub. Breakfast is included in all rates and there is free parking, but spaces are limited. Ramayana Resort & Spa offers many of the same features, but it's not on the beach, so rates are lower.
