Guest Comments

We were a family of four with a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old. The promotion for one free child applied, and the 3-year-old (not yet 36 months) stayed for free. At just over 100,000 won per night, it’s absolutely the best value for money for using the pool, breakfast, and other facilities. The hotel is large, so there are many sights and activities to enjoy (performances, barbecue parties, kids club, etc.). Discovery Mall is right next door, and it’s a great hotel for watching the sunset.

We first stayed at Kartika Plaza 18 years ago and it is still an oasis in the busy Kuta area. The location is great, close to shops, restaurants and the airport. The hotel staff are super friendly and helpful who will do anything to make your stay enjoyable. The pool area is awesome and the breakfasts and ocean bar/resturant are great. While not a major issue, but maybe the rooms are a little tired when it comes to decor, lack of smart TV (for streaming) and could do with new towels and furniture at some point. Good wifi though 😁. Great value for money. Have booked in for 2027. 👍👍
