Recently a newly married couple was asked where they would go for their honeymoon. “We are considering a few countries” was the answer! Ten years ago, such an answer would have been unthinkable from a middle class couple. Budget airlines and hotels have made travelling across the globe a reality. A popular haunt for the young and old is the island of Bali. The most popular Kuta Bali is always teaming with young people wanting to live the thrills of bungee jumping, surfing and other water sports. The concept of an affordable, comfortable hotel in kuta bali has made this region a suitable holiday for all pockets.

What defines a comfortable hotel in kuta bali? Proximity to the famous Kuta beach of course! Since shopping and going to the beach, are the most sought after activities in Kuta, tourists should be able to get out of their hotel and just stroll down to the beach. ...
... It simply avoids the hassle of booking a taxi or haggling over the price etc. Security is definitely another factor that a foreign tourist would want to look for. Security features in a hotel such as closed circuit t v, or a friendly reception staff that would be available at all hours of the day, restricted access to non residents of the hotel would be desirable. As far as food is considered, since a lot of local and international cuisine is available in Kuta, rather than looking for meals in the hotel, a mini mart would be perfect.

What is perceived as desirable in one place may not be so in another. For example a comfortable hotel in indonesia would mean the above said features and many more. Every tourist, young or old, would like a good night’s rest after a hectic day of sight seeing. A comfortable hotel certainly would provide a good bed and shower and of course clean surroundings. No one would want to compromise on basics to save the wallet! The fringe benefits of staying in a five star hotel may not be available but facilities such as an internet connection, toiletries should be available for an extra charge.

While on the topic of hotels in Indonesia, it is worth looking at another much loved tourist spot, Legian Bali. Advance booking of a hotel saves you from being hounded by tourist agents even as you get out of immigration. The concept of chain hotels is fast gaining popularity which makes booking and transferring much easier. Once again any comfortable hotel in legian bali should encompass all features such as location, security, extras such as internet, air conditioning on demand, which would of course be charged separately. A comfortable hotel by no means should be seen as a cheap low end accommodation. Rather, it should give a decent facility to rest which would in turn let you splurge a bit on the luxuries of life!

A resort hotel might give you free gym, tennis courts or spas but really, in a tropical island resort these are available free in nature. If a hotel does not have parking facility, it should not be of great concern to a tourist. All of the sight seeing is anyway done on local taxi service or other transport services. If a budget hotel does not offer you lunch and dining facility, it should not be much of a bother either because food is not a problem in any region of Bali. Great variety is available locally which costs much less than the so called international cuisine offered by the luxury hotels. These are hidden costs that can be cut down by planning and booking in advance. Families can look for accommodations that offer double or connecting rooms at competitive prices. So, the next time you book a low cost hotel, don’t compromise on comfort, just be sure that you are not paying for facilities that you don’t need!
