The Hard Rock Hotel Bali, is probably one of the best resort style hotels in Kuta. If you are looking for an all inclusive location, with pools, activities etc then this is the place.
But the activities arent super, most of it is for smaller children, including the pool slides etc.
The food in the restaurants is overpriced and not great quality, none of the buffet food was any good, except the cook to order food like Masala Dosa which was fantastic...but thats all i ate every morning.....
The service was great, but the use of charging to the room is not very transparent, so instead get a credit card with minimal fees to use instead.
The area is lively, but very busy, noisy.
The location is ideal as its very central, but traffic in and out of Kuta is a nightmare.
Good location, clean hotel, good entertainment, with live music every night, with good services and great people. Food not so great and very expensive.
