Most hotels in South Bali have rooms that can accommodate 2 adults and 1 child free of charge if using existing bedding. But it you have a larger family, you’ll need a Family Room which may be a little harder to find. To make your job of finding the right hotel to stay at, here is a list of hotels in South Bali with family rooms and facilities for children.
Why South Bali? Well, there are many more shops and choices of restaurants, and it is where the beach is, which is presumably a place you would like to go to. However you can also stay in Ubud although you may have to settle for 2 rooms instead of 1 unless you have an infant with you.
Child Policies
- Children 12 years and above (or 13 years and above in some hotels) are treated as an adult and will need to pay for an extra bed.
- Infants (children under 2 years old) stay free and a cot is usually available but not always.
- Children under 12 years may sleep in existing bedding free of charge in most hotels
- Some hotels charge a breakfast supplement for children under 12 years old
Here is a list of family suites and 2 bedroom family rooms or family suites.

This hotel has a lovely ocean view and 4 interconnecting swimming pools and lagoons as well as a water slide. Rooms here are not the cheapest but you can’t beat the facilities. You can also opt for 2 standard class rooms. However the rooms are not connecting and rooms will be allocated upon check-in. So you may or may not get adjacent rooms but the reception will do their best to find the closest rooms.
