In Reply to: Feedback on Kuta Paradiso & Grand posted by Balimagic on Wednesday, 24. May 2006 at 09:26 Bali Time:
we stayed at the Kuta Paradiso last year - it is a nice hotel, we stayed on the 3rd level (there are 4) and had an ocean glimpse room, our room also looked directly down onto the pool. The pool area is nice enough, the pool itself gets quite a bit of shade which is nice for when you want to cool off. The lounges are like in rows (some on a sandy part) and some are shaded and some are in the sun, which is good also. The food was okay, we only really ate breakfast there as it was included in our package...however we did have a couple of lunches there - from memory my fiance said the Paradiso burger was a winner and I remember that whatever meal I had there was good for me too, soup included. The only thing that annoyed me was when we checked in they said our room wasnt ready and put us in a room with two single beds in it, they would have kept us in there longer than the one night I reckon if we hadnt been so persistent and in their face about getting the room we paid for and requested! Also the other thing I found annoying was that we requested some ice for a drink one night whilst on the balcony, and they came with a bucket full of ice and charged us for it. All in all it is a pleasant hotel. The pool is not deep at all, and is a funny shape as it has different layers to it. Hope that helps! If it is any help we stayed at the Discovery Kartika after the Kuta Paradiso and the Kartika won hands down in every way...and they are in a similar price range.
