Deluxe Room

After checking in at Hard Rock Hotel Bali which was very quick and easy, I proceeded to my room 6414. The Deluxe room was very spacious and had plenty to offer. The room accommodates up to 2 adults and 2 children. I was also impressed with the flat screen TV being personalised with a welcome message displaying my name and a quick guide. Before unwinding, I had a quick hotel tour followed by a cocktail masterclass, which I highly recommend – such an exciting and fun experience!

This room consisted of a shower and bathtub all in one. The bathroom also had a basket of the all the amenities you’d need including a toothbrush, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, hairdryer etc.

I’m pleased to report the room was very comfortable and had everything for a relaxful yet exciting and fun stay.

Dining at Hard Rock Hotel Bali

Where do I even begin? When staying at Hard Rock Hotel Bali you’re given various options when it comes to breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel has 8 restaurants and bars. From the very popular Hard Rock Cafe to Jamie’s Italian, you’ll have plenty to choose from, all serving delicious foods.

During my stay, I had breakfast at Starz Diner twice, lunch at Jamie Italian and lunch at the Splash Bistro. All of which were great and had very friendly staff and service.

Being a big Jamie Oliver fan, I was excited when I knew they had a Jamie’s Italian. I decided to go for something different, something I’ve never had before – crab spaghetti…it was actually very tasty! I will definitely be having it again.

The deserts were also extremely tasty, I would recommend the tiramisu!

Don’t just limit yourself to just Jamie’s Italian, make sure you also visit the Splash Bistro for a fantastic delicious lunch.
