We have a 13 hours + 45 minutes stopover in Kualur Lumpur so we have decided to stay at Concorde Inn Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
Concorde Hotel KLIA is only a 3-star property but we wont be there very long.
Booking through ZUJI website - AUD $69.85. For a superior room.
The Distance from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to hotel is only 3 minutes via complimentary airport shuttle service from KLIA to hotel.

We booked our accommodation for Phuket through ixplore website staying at Sunset beach Resort Patong. 8 nights $330. It is a 15 minute walk to the main shopping area and restaurants. The resort offer's a Shuttle bus to central Patong every half an hour. Sunset beach Resort have a kids club, Outdoor swimming pool with children's section, Spa, Outdoor Jacuzzi, Fitness Centre, Snooker & Pool room, Restaurants & bars and so much more.
Also a real bonus having an Early Disaster Warning Tower is installed on the roof of the building. Inside, the tower is equipped with digital radio receiver which will be able to receive signals via satellite, which will be linked from Bangkok, where the signals from the tower will be analyzed by experts from a range of agencies. Unmanned, the tower is powered using solar energy. The warning siren will be at least 121 decibels in strength.
I hope this info helps someone else out if you are planning to travel from Bali to Phuket.
Happy holidays!
