Harris Kuta Resort
Stayed there for 3 nights. we didnt get a package that includes airport transfer, so we requested for 2-ways transfer (the Toyota Kijang was huge, kept very clean and in tip-top condition) for 170,000 rph which is approx. SGD 25 or USD 18. Abt 15 mins from Ngurah Rai airport, the hotel is very conveniently situated just 3 mins away from Kuta beach! all staff were very friendly, gracious & courteous, from the minute we were picked up at the airport, throughout our stay till the second they bid us gdbye when we departed.
Room was quite spacious with 2 queen beds and 2 sets of sofas at diff locations. TV channels & programmes were plentiful, if u choose to laze in bed the whole day. the restaurant has their own ice-cream/dessert/juice bar at the lobby. i really recommend to all the avocado juice. yummmy!! food wise, since we r muslims, we had quite a time finding real halal food apart from fast food joints. however, i have to say this, my friend & i’d rather source for other food outside the hotel. im sure they will improve their food menu & most importantly, the taste. Thumbs-up for the complimentary amigos with their guitars, singing to the diners in the restaurant. Enjoyed it.
If u intend to do some shopping, all u need to do is make a double left turn from the hotel, n u’ll immediately immerse urself into street shopping. u can bargain a great deal, up to 90%! just walk all the way, following the line of shops and without realising it, u r already in Kuta Square and Legian Street. Tonnes of amazing stuff u’ll discover.
If u r a sunny-bunny, walk 3 mins to the beach and soak urself in the sun. It can get really scorching though. There r friendly instructors there who would encourage u to learn and/or do some surfing. The beach is a long stretch from the airport up to seminyak and goes further up. The sea is blue, with quite high waves to an endless horizon. Catch the sunset.
If ur travelling free & easy, the hotel has some tour packages which u can opt to join & also provides shuttle bus to certain areas. Very helpful!
We went for a 1.5hrs full body balinese massage, 30 mins foot reflex & an hr hair creambath at H’Spa. Both therapist were great and very polite. In the morning, u can get to see the staff performing yoga with the customers. The staff were really really cute & adorable when they danced to Jai Ho in the evening! Put a smile to everyone’s faces!
Oh yes, dont worry about getting lost & not able to locate the hotel. U’ll see bright orange banners adorning the front and driveway of the hotel. Easy to spot the bright colour.
Overall, our stay has been a real pleasant one. No complains at all. Thanks, Harris Kuta!
