Kuta Seaview Boutique Resort & Spa - Set amid the hustle and bustle of central Kuta, this hotel offers a quiet escape despite its busy location. The entrance, just off the beachfront road that runs in front of the hotel, is nondescript, but once beyond the gate, the ambience takes a turn for the delightful. While the lobby, with its large white columns wrapped in red silk ties, chandelier, marble floors, and regal purple pillows on wooden couches and chairs, goes for grandeur, the open-air access reminds guests they're on an island. The hallways resemble little secret stone pathways carved through the abundant tropical foliage. The property's gardens are lush and beautifully kept with an exquisite koi pond and other little statues and treasures sprinkled throughout. The resort, with its attentive customer service, pays attention to details -- guests can borrow umbrellas from the front desk, for example -- and many guests are return visitors. #createwithtrip #staycation
