Location. Attracting both romantics and families to Bali's southern coast, the Ramada Bintang Bali Resort & Spa is a seaside destination in South Kuta, an area that is also referred to as Tuban. Although south Kuta is now a major hub for tourism, it still retains much of the village charm, as evidenced by local Hindu temples, historic sites and traditional Indonesian ceremonies. The resort is just a short beach stroll from Kuta's business district, and three kilometers from the Ngurah Rai International Airport. Hotel Features. Punctuated by a ceiling of palm trees, tropical gardens and intimate walkways, the hotel grounds are a welcome escape for romantics and nature enthusiasts alike. Aside from having the largest free form pool facility in Bali, this Ramada property is distinguished by two cascading waterfalls, a reef sunken pool bar and a live entertainment stage. While inside, guests often marvel at the natural stone work and acid washed créme marble that is used throughout the lobby and other public spaces. The Ramada Bintang Bali Resort & Spa offers two dining options: La Brasserie with east-meets-west dishes, and the Wharf Restaurant with Mediterranean cuisine and romantic beachfront seating.
Guestrooms. Although the 404 guestrooms are available in a variety of layouts and price-points, each unit was recently renovated and features either a private terrace or balcony. With hardwood floors, contemporary furnishings and Indonesian-influenced décor, the guestrooms are comfortably arranged in a fashion that is not typically seen outside of Bali. Amenities may include satellite television, coffeemakers, dial-up Internet access and minibars.
Expert Tip. Tuban's beaches are among the safest on Bali and are protected by the Blue Flag Programme. The Blue Flag is a symbol that is awarded to beaches and marinas that have demonstrated interest in sustained development in the categories of water quality, environmental education and environmental management.
