FAQS
Does A Hotel Need A Kids Club or Kids Clubs To Be Family Friendly in Bali?
No! Nearly all hotels and resorts in Bali will be very happy to receive your family and they will treat your children very well.
But it’s definitely nicer to have a kids club. Kids clubs provide somewhere for the children to play safely while adults enjoy their holiday and then they can get together with their children to eat together and enjoy shared activities whenever they want to.

In the Hard Rock Hotel, Bali. It’s one of the best-known kids’ clubs on the island because of the focus on music-driven activities. Our kids had a lot of fun trying out the Roxity.
The Hard Rock also has the largest free-form pool on the island.
Final Thoughts On The Best Family-Friendly Hotels And Resorts In Bali
