El Tropico Hotel

El Tropico is a larger boutique hotel on Jl. Raya Kuta at Baturiti, on one of the town's main streets, so the popular cafés, restaurants and shops are an easy walk away and Kuta Beach is a short ride. It backs onto the hillside, which gives the upper levels views across the hills.

There are 104 rooms in several categories, from standard and deluxe rooms to suites, premier rooms and villa rooms, some with a private pool. Facilities include three pools run as a relaxed pool club with daybeds, restaurants and a bar, and a rooftop skydeck with private cabanas for sunset. Decor leans boho, with natural materials, and breakfast is freshly cooked. It has a 4.8 rating from more than 1,000 Google reviews, and guests often mention the friendly, quick-to-help staff.

It is a solid all-rounder for couples, friends and families who want hotel facilities without leaving the centre. Book direct on the website or via WhatsApp.
