Eat, Pray, Love can now take a break to surf, sleep, savour and shop at the heart of Kuta with Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort . Opened in December 2012, the latest hospitality blockbuster managed by Starwood Hotels discounted car rental myrtle beach Resorts Worldwide Inc. has spangled a touch of luxury to the Kuta beachfront and given vacationers, business travellers, families and honeymooners a prime spot to soak in the best of Bali.
I had the good fortune discounted car rental myrtle beach to spend 5D4N at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort and as a result, fill in the pages of what Elizabeth Gilbert missed out when romancing Bali as she searched for her 'I' in Italy, India and Indonesia; a soul-searching pilgrimage that culminated in her bestselling memoir whose title this blog post started discounted car rental myrtle beach with.
Usually, the start of a vacation for me is at the point where I cleared the customs of the destination country. But my holiday bliss this time round started the moment I boarded my flight by Singapore Airlines (SIA) . It is always nice to travel with our national carrier for the impeccable service discounted car rental myrtle beach and accent that makes me feel right at home.
The airline operates 4 daily flights out from Singapore to Denpasar (Bali) at 7am, 9.35am, 4.40pm and 6.20pm. The flight duration from Singapore to Bali is approximately 2hrs 30mins. But flying with SIA, I wished Bali would have been further!
SIA's high service standards are legendary and David, the flight attendant serving our aisle, added a personal touch by being intuitive. He offered to refill my wine when he observed that I've finished and also to help me take a photo when he saw me camwhoring.
Located right at the heart of possibly Bali's most popular beachfront, Kuta, Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is about 20 minutes (without traffic jam) by cab from Denpasar Airport which makes it a really convenient and accessible place to stay.
The resort offers an exclusive and luxurious retreat amidst open-air terraces, an infinity pool, healthclub featuring Sheraton's signature Shine Spa, gym, 3 dining venues, meeting facilities and gorgeous ocean view rooms that are big on space.

Most hotels would have their check-in reception right at the point where guests arrive but Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort has theirs on the second floor. There's discounted car rental myrtle beach a great design reason for that. Read on...
The reason why the reception is not located on the ground level is so that guests discounted car rental myrtle beach can first enjoy a jaw-dropping ocean view upon arrival before checking in. The picturesque view has been burned out in this photo so below is what greeted us when we ascended the escalator to the reception...
Contemporary discounted car rental myrtle beach with hints of traditional Indonesian seafarer culture, the resort exchanged clichéd and overbearing cultural elements for a more modern interpretation. An example is the abstract representation of traditional fishing hulls suspended on the ceiling of The Lounge.
The Lounge at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort offers high tea and late night drinks and is a great vantage point to enjoy the multi-hued Kuta sunset discounted car rental myrtle beach during the Social Hour where guests can mingle over wines and cocktails.
As an average vacation traveler, I don't usually talk about the business facilities that a hotel provides but the ballroom at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is worth a mention. For one, there's the good-looking nautilus discounted car rental myrtle beach stairwell to reach the ballrooms and another is the beautiful carpeting plus nice décor.
Now we come to the most important part of any hotel... the room. Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort houses a collection of 203 guest rooms and suites that come with a private balcony offering a sweeping view of Kuta and the Indian Ocean.
There's a bright and open feel to the rooming wing with the units housed within a door which could be closed. So if you and your friends take up 2 adjoining units, you can close the main door and create a common area.
Instead of a welcome fruit basket, we were introduced to Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort's Colour Your Plate philosophy for healthy eating. To bring home the point, we were offered 4 jars of homemade jams and dips made from natural ingredients such as pineapple, tomato, and other stuff that are packed with fibre and nutrients.
With the bathroom blinds rolled up and the balcony curtains pulled back, one can enjoy a soak in the tub while looking out to the sea. But check that the next door unit is empty before doing it as guests from the other unit can partially peer into your room from their balcony.
Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort has 3 eating venues known as Feast (the main restaurant where breakfast buffet discounted car rental myrtle beach is served along with a local and international selection on its lunch and dinner buffet discounted car rental myrtle beach as well as a la carte menu), Bene Italian Kitchen discounted car rental myrtle beach that serves up authentic pastas and mains for dinner, and The Lounge where high-tea discounted car rental myrtle beach can be enjoyed.
Happening every Sunday from 12pm - 3pm, the weekly Market Brunch at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort allows diners to eat and drink to their heart's content while shopping for fresh produce and local products.

For the adventurous, the resort offers bicycles for rent. I can't remember how much the rental costs but it is definitely a great way to explore Kuta and maybe even all the way up to Seminyak if you have the stamina. The great thing here is that there are 2 bike choices... discounted car rental myrtle beach bigger bikes for adults and smaller ones for kids.
Since its opening, Beachwalk has fast become the latest 'in' place to meet for locals discounted car rental myrtle beach and foreigners to shop. If you want to pick up something from local designers, check out SATU but be prepared to spend.
The first time I stepped foot in Bali in 2010 and visited the crazy busy streets of Kuta and the beach, I was rather overwhelmed by the disarray. This time round, I had the benefit to get just enough of the chaos and retreating back to the sanctuary that is Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort. Someone in our entourage likened the resort to a mute button for Kuta and I couldn't agree more.
By taking a step back and looking at Kuta Beach from an elevated view at Bene's roof top terrace as well as The Lounge and pool, I was able to appreciate what made this beachside attraction discounted car rental myrtle beach so alluring. It's the unceasing gregarious surf, endless stretch of fine sanded beach and that resplendent sunset that makes every encounter with it a celebration.
Well, this concludes the chapters of my second visit to Bali and stay at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort. discounted car rental myrtle beach Everything considered, I think the resort is a very good-value-for-money stay for its proximity to the beach, excellent amenities, great services, comprehensive activities, and spectacular view. Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is definitely a winner amongst the crowd of hotels and resorts at the Kuta beachfront district!
