The 177-room Bali Garden Beach Resort is a sprawling, three-pearl resort overlooking Kuta Beach and less than a 15-minute walk from the beach town's many restaurants, shops, and attractions. Rooms are large and unfussy, outfitted with all the requisite amenities and decorated in slightly dated Balinese style; many have balconies or terraces, and either ocean or garden views. Family Rooms and Villas are especially spacious, and have private courtyards and kitchenettes. The 13 restaurants and bars offer a range of international cuisines and drinks -- some paired with panoramic ocean views -- but the resort's standout features are the three outdoor pools, one of which has a small kids' area and a swim-up bar, though all three close early in the evening. There’s also a spa, which offers a full range of treatments and has a deep soaking tub. Breakfast is included in all rates and there is free parking, but spaces are limited. Ramayana Resort & Spa offers many of the same features, but it's not on the beach, so rates are lower.

The upscale 228-room Patra Jasa Bali Resort & Villas is beachfront hotel with exceptional grounds within a five-minute drive of Kuta's attractions and restaurants. Contemporary rooms all have balconies (some with ocean views), air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi, while exceptional Villas have extras including private pool access and 24/7 butler service.

The 184-room Wina Holiday Villa Hotel is centrally located in North Kuta, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, bars, and Kuta Beach. The two-and-a-half-pearl hotel has pleasant grounds that incorporate Balinese design, though interiors are basic and a little underwhelming. The Legenda restaurant and Beji Bar serve decent meals and there are two pools as well. Lower-category rooms feel cheap and dated, and suites might be worth the upgrade for a bit more style, although they don't have separate bedrooms. Rooms near the restaurant can get noisy during breakfast hours, and guests have complained about housekeeping and unpleasant bathroom odors. Travelers wanting nicer digs at just slightly higher rates should consider the modern EDEN Hotel Kuta Bali, though it's not as central and farther from the beach.
