Stayed at one of the villas in this very sparse resort. Service was abit slow and haughty probably due to the Hari Raya holidays period.
However, the room was excellent. We were treated to a 'honeymooners' room make-up with the bathtub and bed adorned with flowers. Its was also sparsely decorated and huge with dining area, TV lounging area, balconies and an excellent bathroom. However, my room's aircon was underpowered.
Facilities were not fantastic however, other than the rather pictureseque swimming pools and spa. The gym was rather small.
The included buffet breakfast was extensive with various ommeletes, some Japanese fare and we particularly liked the pastries.
Unfortunately, the beach was closed for some upgrading works which is expected to end by end-2008.
No matter, we took a shuttle bus to further North to the crowded Kuta beach and the famous shopping areas.
Very close proximity to the airport (we could see airplanes doing its landing sequence) but luckily was not overly noisy. The location was also at the far end of Kuta Beach, thus the relative quietness compared to main Kuta beach.
An excellent place for couples and families to stay within Kuta. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Patra Bali!
