Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel
The marble open-air lobby and the immense pool area, complete with a swim-up bar, are the signature trappings of the 318-room Discovery Kartika Plaza, located right on the beach in South Kuta. Traditionally attired hotel staff, along with the occasional sounds of the gamelan, contribute local flavor to the hotel, as do the theme dinners on Tuesdays and Fridays. The modern, air-conditioned Discovery Mall is right next door.

Inna Kuta Beach Hotel, Cottage and Spa
Just off Kuta Square, and across the street from the Hard Rock Cafe, the Inna Kuta Beach offers 134 Balinese-themed rooms amidst a lush, tropical garden. Right outside is the heart of the Kuta Beach surfing community, with lessons available and boards for rent right at the property boundaries. Strategically located amidst shops, restaurants, and the Kuta Art Markets, most anything is just a short stroll from the front entrance.

Hard Rock Hotel
As Western as hotels get in this South Pacific outpost, the Hard Rock Hotel Bali is a massive complex comprised of 418 rooms, 7 restaurants, and all the amenities that less adventurous tourists will find welcoming. Sharing the same fine location as the Inna Kuta Beach, the Hard Rock maintains the formula of its siblings worldwide: a hip ambiance, a generally younger crowd and its signature rock-themed cafe.

At the heart of the Bali nightlife scene on Poppies II, the Bounty Hotel offers inexpensive accommodation and a location just 5 minutes from the beach. The 166 rooms are basic but comfortable and are more spacious than many of the backpacker hotels in the area. More popular with singles than honeymooners, the hotel offers free admission to many area bars and clubs. Facilities include two pools and a 24-hour restaurant.
