After my visit to Bali, I absolutely saw why so many expats move there. Bali is a beautiful, cheap, and verdant tropical island worthwhile of everything that is discussed it. If it had better Internet and ended those rolling blackouts, I would move there. Except not for Kuta beach. Kuta beach is the traveler capital of Bali. When you leave Kuta and then the smaller tourist locations of Ubud and the Gili Islands, there are so few tourists you may think Bali has yet to be "discovered." Then you return to Kuta with its big bars, costly clothing, food, large hotels, and pink bodies and you unfortunately understand, that yup, Bali has actually been found and after that some.
In my opinion, Kuta Beach is unworthy going to. It's a great location to start and end your trip as it is close to the airport but unless you truly wish to do some hardcore drinking, there is no reason to check out Kuta beach. Go to everywhere else in Bali! In Kuta, the water is brown and filled with things like McDonalds cups, plastic bags, trash, and god knows what else. That blue tropical water you are trying to find will not be discovered on Kuta. For that, head to Nusa Lembogan, Eastern Bali, or the Gili Islands. I wouldn't recommend swimming on Kuta's beach. I felt unclean and like I needed a shower.
Moreover, the restaurants aren't great. You'll find expensive Indonesian food and average western food. There aren't really any good places to consume here. I found a great Mexican location and there is the well-known Madam's Indonesian dining establishment however the very best food in bali is not discovered in Kuta. If you desire excellent food, visit Ubud or Seminyak beach. These are where the really award winning tasty restaurants are.
The shopping in Kuta is good and slightly cheaper than elsewhere on the island. Southern Bali is the most developed and western part of the island making good sense that this would be the very best place to shop. I discovered all the put on Bali provided a lot of the very same touristy clothing and knock offs. I did handle to find some name brand stores but they weren't as low-cost as I believed they would be. The very best deals remained in the huge department stores. I bought new tennis shoes for $40 USD. Overall though, I was unimpressed with the shopping in Kuta and would rather shop in Bangkok or Singapore.
So without any good beach, no good food, and average shopping, what does Kuta have? Resorts, browsing, and bars. There is a wide variety of resorts beginning at $50 USD going all the way up to $1000 USD a night. (Bali has the most $1000 USD resorts in the world!) And if you want insane bars, huge cups of alcohol, and huge clubs that open till dawn, Kuta beach is the place to be. Furthermore, the excellent surfing here and truly inexpensive lessons however if you want to learn in clean water, go elsewhere. There's great surfing all over the nation.
So if you wish to enjoy Bali, avoid Kuta. Go elsewhere. There's beautiful Ubud, the Jatiluwih rice balconies, Nusa Lembogan, Lovina, Amhed ... the list goes on. If you all wish to do party, store, and socialize with tanned web surfers in brown water, then Kuta is the location for you.
