Bali- Holiday INN Resort Baruna Bali
This is the first time we decided to stay nearer to the Kuta area, at least within walking distance. Recommended by our friends that the rooms are good.
Well, we booked the SEA-VIEW from..However, the SEAVIEW is really far away, with the big pool, the garden and etc in between the Hotel building and the SEA.
Thus, if you are staying at this Hotel, forget about paying more for the SEAVIEW as it is really nothing, nothing! Haha.. For real SEAVIEW, perhaps you can check out my earlier post on Amara Sactuary.. =)
The Grand Entrance:
View from the lobby:
This is also almost equivalent to the SEAVIEW that the hotel is referring..
Nice and big pool with a 'dip-in-water' bar:
Walking out of the Hotel into the beach area:
Beach bed belonging to the Hotel:
This is the Night shot i have taken from the sunbed (sitting on the 4th sunbed, counting from the left):
Further out to the shoreline:
View of the Hotel from the Beach:
A Ice-cream bar: Ok only.. but good in such hot weather..
The breakfast area:
The Corridor area outside our room:
Our Room:

Overall:
-The hotel is not very clean. It has really those sandy and sticky ground that those Chalet has. So the feel is not very good.
-The SEAVIEW is pathetic.
-Location: It is located at the end of a road. Walkable to the shopping area. It takes about 10-15 minutes walk.
-Quiet environment
** Definitely not worth the price of a SEAVIEW room. If you want, just choose the normal room. I guess it will be good enough?
** Will not return, will try others if want to be closer to the central area...
