Kuta Puri Bungalows and Spa

Location was practical. I picked this place because we had an early morning flight the next day and the drive to the airport was 20 minutes. Even with surprisingly crazy traffic early so early in the day, we were there exactly when we wanted to be. Receptionist was very professional and efficient. Organised our driver and packed breakfasts.

It was very busy with lots of loud English-speaking people who played their music so everyone could hear it or who spoke very loudly for everyone to enjoy. We chose not to go to the pool because it was way too busy and noisy. We were given a room that obviously had a sewage problem. When I asked the man who took us to our room what the smell was, he asked what smell I was taking about. That quite annoyed me, because unless you can't smell anything, you couldn't miss the smell. It stank of toilets in the whole room. We asked to change rooms. And then we had to wait almost an hour for the room to be ready, even though they said 20 minutes. The new room smelled fine but the bathroom wasn't very clean. The shower room was full of sand, and the bathroom could have done with a stronger scrub. This place has the word "Bungalow" in it, which is quite misleading, as I had expected more privacy. I have stayed in a lot of bungalows in my life. That wasn't a bungalow. It was just a room. Between two other rooms. With a shared door with one of the rooms, and we could just hear everything that was going on in the other room. Luckily, our neighbours were not party people and didn't come back in the middle of the night, but we left very early and probably woke them up if they were light sleepers like me. It wasn't super cheap when I booked it and I would say this was terrible value for money. They do have bungalows, in the back of the property. We took a walk there to check it out, but there were lots of kids screaming and it didn't seem much quieter. I wouldn't stay there again.
