Honest review of hotel and area:
The hotel itself was fine. The included breakfast were plates that you picked (American, British, Malay, etc) and the quality was fair. There is not a buffet.
But.... this is not a good area. The beach is virtually non existent, and what beach there is, is very dirty. There are literally piles of trash along the beach, and under the beach sand itself.
The streets in this area are very crowded with hawkers and taxi drivers waiting for fares; the sidewalks are broken everywhere and you must be extremely careful not to fall into holes as you walk.
It is hard to imagine that anyone would look forward to walking those streets a serving time. We had booked the hotel for 4 nights, so we just spent time in the pool, which was decent, and ate nearby.
All of the hotel staff that we encountered were helpful and sweet.
If you want to see beauty in Bali, though, you will not find it in Kuta.
