Sorry I should have said go to the bottom of this page to search the forum and then type in Kartika Plaza you will get a good history of the place from the previous entries on this resort over the last few years . I thoughruly recomend it as a good place to stay ,I have been
to this resort the last 4 years in succession and am going back in Sept. again I should try somewhere different but I feel why risk not getting a resort that you enjoy being at.As for the kids club I can
not help you to much there I have seen it mentioned on there activety
board but never needed to use it. My youngest child now 13 always found enough other children to do things that kept him busy.This resort is rather large and has one very big pool with a swim up bar a
childs pool is next to it, there is another pool where the bungalows are it has approx. 500 metres of beachfront you can swim there but most people head off to Kuta beach about 5 to 10 mins. walk for the
surfing and swimming.There is a fully equipped gym squash courts tennis volley ball and mini golf as well as bicycle hire these activeties are used sparingly I think its to warm to use up energy I
would rather relax.The restaurants are quite good we purchase our breaky vouchers from the front desk, you save quite a lot by buying a
block of 5 day vouchers, pool service is good and the afternoon tea is
very good value.Prices for the restaurants are average and like most
we tend to eat out a lot seems to be cheaper most times especially when there is a large group,the drink prices are average resort price, they have happy hour at the pool in the evening and then in the foyer after that 2 for the price of one offer very busy then.Room service is also good and good value perfect if you dont feel like going out for a meal.The rooms are quite addequate but I would say to you if you are not happy with what you are given let them know from the start and they will do their best to find you one that you like.As stated earlier I would reccomend this place to anyone you dont seem crowded
and as most Bali resorts the staff are very friendly and helpful p.s.
take some games for the kids to play on the beach.
Hope this helps if you want more details feel free to ask.
