Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel Bali

My stay here was ok. Room was comfortable...services was nice...there were a wide selection of buffet for breakfast that come with a nice view.

Unique Quality: There's nothing so unique about this hotel. It's just like any other typical big hotels. Me and hubby chosed to stay here simply because it's near to the beach...not that we wanted to surf or do other water activity...only to have the nice view and just to be near to the beach.

The room we had was an Ocean Facing Room...located on the 4th floor. Well, I wouldn't say it was a really good room with ocean view...coz the view was mostly blocked by huge trees. We could see the ocean though...in between all the trees and leaves...

I supposed the two things I like about this place...it's very near to the beach and shopping mall is adjacent to the hotel. Other street shopping places were also nearby. Bali Waterbom Park n Spa located only 20 metres from the hotel...restaurants n other entertainment places were also within walking distance from the hotel.

Unique Quality: I like the view...though I had to struggle seeing it in between those trees. Perhaps they should've planted not so tall trees. If not for the trees blocking my view...the stay here would've been much better.

For a big hotel like this with the entrance looking so grand...the interior and exterior of the room n the hotel surrounding was definitely not impressive at all. It's like a place without a soul...empty...no identity. There're no amusing landscape...interior of the room was typical as well...I think they tried to make it look simple n exclusive...but it doesn't really work. For such a big hotel...I believe they can do better...with a little bit of creativity and hardwork of course.

The room was ok...despite the not so impressive interior. It was clean...comfortable and well kept. However, since it's a big hotel...the housekeeping took longer time to get to the room...our room was only done in the very late afternoon...but that's not really a problem since we're not there all the time.

Unique Quality: Having breakfast here was nice...located at an open area near a fish pond...with ocean view as well...variety of food to choose from.

Hubby and me got a 1 hour complimentary foot massage...in the comfort of our own room. It was a nice massage. I guess Balinese are really good at massaging...there's no pain at all. After a few days of walking...exploring some places in Bali...getting a foot massage was really relieving.

Unique Quality: There're many paintings around the hotel. Mostly are quite amusing. One of many...is the one in our room...it was placed inside our toilet...as we enter the toilet...the portait of a lady welcomes us. We found it bold...impressive and unique. We like it at the moment we saw it. This painting sort of 'provoked' us to get paintings as well as souvenir to take home. As a result...we went shopping for paintings on one of the days.
