Sun Island Hotel Kuta

Sun Island Hotel Kuta is a modern hotel with an urban feel. Interiors are clean and contemporary, but lack the Balinese aesthetic for which the island's hotels are famous. Aesthetically, the interiors do have some elegant modern design elements like high-end marble slab floors, high wood ceilings, and rustic industrial stylings. The lobby is housed in a large open-air space with comfy couches and it has a long reception counter with multiple receptionists. Common areas are open-air and overlook the hotel's huge lagoon-like swimming pool that's centered in the property. The pool space includes a shallow kids' section, a poolside bar, and a large wooden deck with lounge chairs, but the setting doesn't have any tropical greenery. Pavos Restaurant has two distinct spaces -- a large dining hall (mostly used during breakfast) with dining tables and comfy upholstered chairs, plus a bar and lounge section. The bar and lounge space has the most ambience thanks to frequent live music, sports nights, and a buzzing street-side location that make it a popular venue for both in-house and outside guests. 

Sun Island Hotel Kuta is ideally located in the heart of downtown Kuta, but it isn't positioned right on Kuta Beach, which is about a five-minute walk from the hotel. The immediate area offers a large range of activities, as well as dining and shopping options. Popular attractions within a five-minute walk include the Waterbom Bali waterpark, Discovery Shopping Mall, Kuta Square, and Wake Bali Art Market. For partygoers, the hotel is located a bit out of the way from Bali's most happening nightclubs along the Legian strip. Sky Garden, Bounty, and Eikon take about 15 to 20 minutes to reach by car. Ngurah Rai International Airport is located a 10-minute drive from the hotel. Seminyak, Sanur, and Denpasar are within a 20-minute drive. Ubud is about an hour's drive north from the hotel. 

The hotel has 129 rooms in total and a variety of categories, including Deluxe Rooms, Deluxe Pool View Rooms, Deluxe Pool Access Rooms, Suites, and Family Suites. All rooms feature large windows, furnished balconies, and views of either the swimming pool or neighboring buildings. Interiors have a sharp contemporary look. Design elements include tan and gray checkered floor tiles, clean white walls, and a dark purple color palette used on accent walls, bed runners, throw pillows, and upholstered furniture. Rooms are outfitted with carved wooden beds, sofa chairs, work tables, and large wardrobes. Suites include a large living and dining room space that have comfy couches, plus dining tables and chairs. Standard room amenities include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, kettles, and bottled water. 

All Deluxe Rooms have the same 270 square foot (25 square meters) floor plan and the Suites offer double the space. They're available with interconnecting doors that adjoin to the Deluxe Rooms. Deluxe Pool Access Rooms are located on the ground level and open out directly onto the pool, plus feature terraces with two sun loungers. Bathrooms are clean and modern, and include long vanity countertops, large mirrors, and walk-in rainfall showers. Deluxe Rooms have fairly compact bathrooms, whereas the Suite bathrooms offer plenty of space and include deep soaking tubs and separate shower cubicles. All bathrooms come with hairdryers and toiletries. 

Features mainly cater to tourists. The hotel's defining feature is a sprawling lagoon-style swimming pool. The pool doesn't offer much shade or tropical greenery, but the space includes a shallow kids' pool section, lots of lounge chairs laid out around the wooden deck, and a poolside bar that serves drinks and light bites. Pavoz Restaurant and Bar has a multi-cuisine menu. The standout dishes are the pizza, pasta, ribs, and Indonesian classics like fried rice and fried noodles. It also offers daily happy hour promos and hosts live music events and daily sports broadcasts. Breakfast is included in most room rates and is serves in a large buffet. Room service is available 24/7. There are three meeting rooms; the largest room holds 120 people theater-style and the two smaller rooms hold up to 30 people each. 

Services offered at reception include transportation arrangements and authorized money changing services. There's a small spa space with five massage treatment rooms. Wi-Fi is provided free throughout the hotel, and there's a large underground parking lot that guests can use.
