We have stayed at the hrad Rock about 5 times with our 3 children. We get 2 interconnecting rooms ( although you can have up to 2 children in the room with you) which are just hotel rooms and a bit on the small side which have all been renovated in March. The pool is absolutely great, we think its the best pool in Bali, the poolside cabanas are great also so we can sit and the kids can swim just outside and play on the sand island.
We use the Kids club and the staff are really lovely, gives the kids a break from shopping and being dragged around markets. You can order the kids lunch etc from the room service menu. You pay by the hour and they have heaps of activities for the kids.
Our girls love centrestage in the lobby at the Hard Rock as they love to dance to the band each night. The Band plays on top of the Bar and once the kids go back to the room they can watch it live on the tv as well.
The restaurants are good but expensive by bali standards, but being in the heart of kuta you dont have to go far to eat outside of the resort. The breakfast is to die for, huge buffet which the kids go nuts over.
We take our kids for a day to waterbomb park, visit Kintamani, See tanah lot, take a trip to lembongan, shop and stay around the pool. Our next visit we are looking into the elephant safari and other things we havnt yet experienced. I think the white water rafting minimum age is 9 years??
Have a great holiday
We cant wait to be back in Bali in march next year.
