overview

Plan your Kuta trip around Hard Rock Hotel Bali
Start with Hard Rock Hotel Bali'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
The free-form pool is the largest in Bali and has a sand island in the middle of it. Children do not need to be sold on this hotel, and parents should know that the pool, not the beach, is where the week will actually happen.
It is beachfront on Jalan Pantai with Kuta Beach two minutes away and Kuta Square about 500 metres, one of the most central large hotels on the strip. Family and interconnecting rooms exist but need requesting at booking rather than on arrival. Breakfast covers vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free properly. It is loud, themed and busy by design. We would not send anyone here looking for a quiet or particularly Balinese experience, and nobody books it for that.
