Plan your Kuta trip around Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel
Start with Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel's live prices for your dates, since room rates in Kuta swing with the season. Then look at activity packages, since a surf lesson and a day at Waterbom are easy to add once your base is set. Finally, price a car: the strip is walkable, but a car opens up the run south to Uluwatu. The three links below go straight to each.
our review
Beachfront at the quieter southern end of Kuta, with Discovery Shopping Mall directly next door. Guests score the location 9.2, higher than the hotel overall, and that gap tells you what you are really buying.
The grounds run down to the sand and hold an outdoor pool, a separate kids pool and a kids club, plus a spa and fitness centre. Rooms have balconies over the gardens, pool or ocean, and some categories open straight onto a private garden, worth asking about. Tepan Restaurant does breakfast with a sea view. Tuban is functional rather than atmospheric, closer to the airport than the nightlife. For families who want beach and mall in one place, we would take it.
