The Bali Dynasty hotel is located in Tuban, south of Kuta. The entrance is located far from the main road due to its long driveway which gives it a more private resort look.
Entrance to the Dynasty Hotel Kuta
Once up the stairs you arrive at the big and high ceiling lobby where you find the reception on the left side. Towards the end of the reception you have a lounge bar with great view over the the premises.
It is also possible to enter the Bali Dynasty hotel from downstairs where you will pass shops, the Gracie Kelly’s Irish pub, a coffee shop and even its own barber. So a bad hair day will be definitely out of the question when staying here.

The majority of the rooms at the Bali Dynasty Hotel have garden and pool view. The different types of rooms are deluxe or deluxe pool view, family garden view or family pool view (kingsize bed plus bunk bed max 5 people), studio room (2 adults and 3 children below 12yrs), kids's suite (kingsize bed plus bunk bed max 5 people incl kids area) and the executive suite (2 adults and 3 children below 12 yrs incl living area and kitchenette).
The deluxe pool view room
The rooms are found in two wings of the resort that surround the pool and garden. The areas around the pool seem to be the busiest with a couple of restaurants and a huge turquoise pool.
The main pool is big with enough room on the side to relax on beach chairs. We immediately noticed that there were not many young children splashing around in the main pool.

Just around the corner the hotel has created a kids club called Kupu Kupu (butterfly in Indonesian). Not only does this club have an excellent area for children to play, there is also a child-friendly pool with a 56 meter water slide and experienced staff to watch over the children.
We thought the kids pool looked very fancy, especially with a part of the pool being constantly in the shade. It is without doubt much better than the usual little piece of shallow pool in which children are suppose to play in.
The Bali Dynasty Kids Pool
The grown-ups are however not forgotten. The Bali Dynasty hotel also has a pool where children are not allowed to enter. The shallow lazy pool is beautifully set in a garden.
The unique thing about this pool is that you can actually lie comfortably in the water. In the pool ‘stoned beds’ enable you to doze away while your head remains out of the water.
It's time to relax at the lazy pool
Just a couple of metres from the lazy pool you can find the hotel spa. The spa is a cute little building that offers a wide range of massage treatments.
The massages are given in a gazebo just outside the spa building. The gazebo has no walls and is pretty much open, so a massage with the sounds of the ocean in the background just makes it more relaxing.

Like other hotels in Tuban, this hotel does not have its own private beach. However we did easily find a small gate next to the kids club leading to a beach.
It is not really what we would call a perfect beach, but it is possible to climb pass the rocks and jump into the sea.
This beach area is not private though so there are many shops offering Balinese souvenirs and a number of masseurs who are ready for action.
The beach is around the corner of
the Bali Dynasty resort
There was a sign on the beach which showed the future plans for the area. The government is planning to create a boulevard and some strips of beach. Once these plans are finalized it will make it easier to enjoy a swim in the ocean.
The Bali Dynasty hotel is definitely a hotel that provides facilities for the old and the very young. It is one of the few hotels that has a nice kids only. On top of that the cool thing about this resort is that the kids eat free from the buffet when they are accompanied by a full paying adult.
So we recommend this hotel to families who have young children that love to spend the whole day playing in the water.
Pros: very kids friendly, clean modern rooms, good breakfast
Cons: big scale resort, no direct access to nice beach
