Grand Inna Bali Beach

About 1,370,000 IDR (~$90) a night at Bali's oldest international hotel, built in 1966, and it shows in places — some fixtures feel dated. But the beachfront gardens are genuinely beautiful and the pools are huge. We switched base here from Ubud after the Mount Batur trek specifically to cut the drive time to Tanah Lot, Uluwatu, and the Nusa Penida boat the next morning. Staff were warm, breakfast was generous. If pristine modern finishes matter more to you than history and location, this isn't it — but for the convenience, we'd stay again.
