MERCURE

Considering the abundance of hotels that can be found lining the Kuta Beach Front, Mercure Kuta Bali Hotel compares extremely well, offering impressive features, facilities and services. The resort features 130 rooms, and four suites. Although the architecture of the building is post-modern and minimalist, this doesn’t mean the place is lacking in the natural touch, in fact, their garden with its large pond full of gold fish and koi creates an idyllic and relaxing atmosphere. And it’s all in a very central location.

Other than the rooms with ocean views, Mercure has all the essential facilities such as AC, hot and cold water, IDD phone, Cable TV, mini bar, and coffee maker in every room. But the piece de resistance has to be the rooftop pool with its expansive view of the beach and sea...not something many other hotels can offer.

Published rates start from IDR 650K. It’s a busy hotel so, book in advance
