Busy Kuta Beach 4 stars
Travel Tip: Kuta

I arrived to the Kuta Beach at low tide. Kuta was crowded with surfers and people having lessons waiting on the beach for high tide. Kuta beach was quite shallow. You can walk out 100 meters and be chest high in the water. The negative side was to be constantly hassled by all kinds of vendors... [more]

Kuta Chapter of Travel Blog: Bali and Lombok
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
In Kuta, there are a lot of relatively wealthy people coming into the area, usually for a relatively short time, and I found this causes a strange situation with many of the local people who earn a living in the tourist industry. I saw a lot of arguments build up between market sellers or street... [more]

Kuta - it is what it is 4 stars
Travel Tip: Kuta

Okay, enough of the complaining about Kuta - it is what it is. If you want the true paradise of Bali, you need to go outside of Kuta! (It's no different than going to Hawaii - staying at a beach hotel in downtown Honolulu is not going to give you the true Hawaii.)

Kuta is a...

Kuta 4 stars
Travel Tip: Kuta

Kuta was my first stop on my trip around the world. When I think back, running chickens, scooters everywhere, food stalls, little shops, little streets, cheap food and drink, tourists, and many more memories come to my mind. It’s a bustling little island that lives off tourism and was badly hit... [more]

Visiting Kuta 3 stars
Travel Tip: Kuta

I went to Bali expecting it to be total paradise from what other people had said and from adverts I saw on TV but was pretty shocked when I got there! It resembled a rubbish dump more that it did a beach. When I was swimming in the sea I kept getting dirty plastic bags wrapped around me and the... [more]
