There are a lot of hotels in Kuta region of Bali island. One of them is Kuta Station Hotel and Spa. This hotel has more than one hundred rooms that are categorized into Superior, Deluxe and Family rooms. It takes around fifteen minutes from Ngurah Rai International airport to the hotel. However, due to the frequent traffic congestion in Kuta and Legian areas, the time needed to bring you to the hotel might be longer during busy hours.

Tourist attractions at and around Kuta beach

Visitors who stay in this hotel can easily have access to the most important tourist attraction of the area which is the Kuta beach, the Art and Souvenir Market. Kuta never sleeps at night particularly at the Hard Rock Cafe which is only a stone throw away from the hotel. Famous singers and musicians from Indonesia and abroad often come to play and sing at the Hard Rock Cafe of Kuta beach. Nightlife activity in Bali can also be experienced at Musro on Jalan Kartika Plaza. Here, live band and dance are performed to the audience every night. Here at the beach, visitors can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, wave surfing. There are a number of wave surfing shop and schools in Kuta that can supply boads and help you learn how to balance yourself while standing on the surfboard. Wave surfing is a fun activity enjoyed by a lot of beach lovers but it can be dangerous too particularly to those who are trying this sport for the first time.

If you are hungry after swimming at the beach, you don't have to walk back to your hotel to buy some food there. Food and fruit vendors are ready to offer you delicious fresh rujak (fruit salad) or boiled corn that can warm your stomach.

Spa

A lot of beach lovers receive foot massage from professional massage therapists who offer their services at the beach. If you don't feel comfortable with the massage service offered by the professional massage therapists at the beach, you can get Balinese traditional massage, lulur and body scrub at the hotel's Jalanidi spa. Lulur actually is a traditional skin care treatment in a bridal ritual where a woman receives a preliminary massage and then is embrocated with a paste consisting of turmeric, rice flower, sandal wood oil and jasmine. When it has dried, it will be removed slowly and carefully to lift the dead cells from her skin. Then yoghurt will be applied on the skin to give the cooling effect and to moisturize it. After she takes a bath in the water that has been filled with flowers, her skin will be dried again with a piece of soft towel, and than it will be rubbed again with skin oil. Although most of the customers of the spa treatment are women, men can also experience it.

Kuta Beach Club

Another hotel that is located near the beach is Kuta Beach Club. It is located on Jalan Bakung Sari No. 81. I used to stay there for one week in a private bungalow that is located near the hotel's swimming pool. Breakfast is served on the other side of the pool. The room is quite comfortable although the AC machine was not cool enough to refresh the hot temperature of the coastal area of Ubud. I hope that it has been repaired or replaced so that visitors can get a room with fresh and cool air again. The Kuta Beach Club hotels offer 3 night special honeymoon package in a deluxe standard room accommodation for 350 US dollars per couple. To book a room in Kuta Beach Club hotel, visitors can go to Globekey online reservation system website or directly log on to the official website of the hotel.

Pullman Hotel Legian Nirwana

Further north, you will see a new hotel which has just been constructed in Legian. The Pullman Bali Legian Nirwana is a new beach front resort located on Jalan Melasti. It has got nearly 400 rooms and suites ideal or family vacationers or honeymooners. There is a Kid's Club in the hotel which provide various fun activities for children while they spend family holiday with their Mums and Dads. Because Legian is not far from Kuta and Seminyak, your access to most of the leisure spots is easy. The hotel has got a swimming pool called infinity roof top pool where visitors can enjoy swimming and watching the breath taking-sunsets on the horizon of the blue west Bali sea.
