Hard Rock Hotel
PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended
You'll be disarmed by this hotel's fun, fanciful design. The lobby is typical Hard Rock Cafe, lined with once-used guitars and gold records, and the decor throughout is bright, with corridors done in varying rock themes. Rooms are light and airy, with photos of artists, and bathrooms are done in playful geometric patterns. The pool is the largest in Bali, with slides and its own beach. You'll also enjoy the outdoor living room, the in-house radio station, and a recording studio where you can live out your own musician fantasies. Sure, rock blares around the clock in the lobby, which has a popular bar, and in other public areas, but the fabulous kids' playroom -- "Little Rock" -- and that pool make it a great option for boomer families. It's not really Bali, but it is good fun.
