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.
