We liked everything about Poppies Bali and enjoyed our stay there very much. This is like a secret garden set behind a stone wall in the midst of Kuta chaos, yet totally away from it all. The very clean, comfortable Dutch-colonial-Bali style cottages are scattered about the garden to insure total privacy and quiet. I can only endorse all of the positive comments made in others reviews, and we experienced none of the negatives. The breakfast was remarkable, you can dine in the restaurant (fixed menu) or on your terrace, at the time you pick the food will magically appear. The location is in the heart of Kuta on a lane so narrow that in one direction only motorcycles and walkers can pass. The other direction is passable for cars and vans but very tricky. Most taxis will not drive to the hotel. Some people consider the difficult location a negative, to me it just added to the charm, like discovering a hidden treasure. To hail a taxi walk the short distance to Legian. There are many cabs that pass, use Bluebird or Ngur Rai (meter). There are many good restaurants and shopping within easy walking distance, including the hotel's Poppies restaurant. The hotel is only a few hundred meters from Kuta beach.The room rates are reasonable for the incredible experience. Communication prior to travel was excellent. For touring its more cost efficient for you to prearrange your own driver/van from outside.

We bookended our recent trip to Bali with a number of nights at Poppies. Arrival transfers were perfect after a long set of flights and staff were immediately welcoming and attentive. Kuta can be hectic, but stepping though the gate into the immaculate grounds is instantly calming. Cottages are wonderful, grounds are superb and the pool is beautiful. Can recommend this place without hesitation.

We stayed for four nights. We loved the lush grounds the bungalows were in. We could hear sounds of nature all around us. The pool was small but very beautiful. Our bungalow had a huge king size bed. We had an extra mattress on the floor as we are a family of four. We loved the location of our bungalow. It was closer to the road but very private and fairly quiet. The wifi in our room was a bit scanty. Most mornings we could not access it or it was very slow. Evenings were a tad bit better. The only other thing that was a miss was the bungalow smelled very musty the first couple of days. We left the window open and it did improve a little. Overall, my family enjoyed our stay at Poppies and would definitely return if we get the opportunity.
