I need a hotel near the airport in Denspar (Bali) . One night before going to Wakatobi then another night before going on to HK on the return trip, any recommendations.

caribbeansoul:There are a LOT of options, depending on what type of accomodations you are looking for, type of area and price range, etc. Generally you can stay in Kuta, Tuban, Legian, Sanur or Nusa Dua and be in close range of the airport. Kuta is kind of the "party place" with lots of bars/restaurants and shopping. Tuban is right next to the airport. Legian is a "little" quieter and just north of Kuta. I like Sanur. It is a good place to chill out at a nice beach and there is a little shopping and some good restaurants/bars...much more kicked back than Kuta/Legian and a good place to overnight before going to Wakatobi. If you want higher end, look in Nusa Dua. When I went last year, I booked with Trans Indo Mukti, who Wakatobi Resort recommended. They were really helpful in arranging our hotel bookings.

She was really good to work with. Hope that helps.
caribbeansoul:You're welcome. If you have not already finalized your plans, I would highly recommend spending more than just a day in and day out in Bali. It's such an AMAZING place! Head up to Ubud and take in the beautiful tropical scenery and art and culture of the Balinese!
Reefwalker:If you are still looking for a recommendation for a hotel close to the airport in Bali, we often stay at Rama Beach Resort & Spa in Tuban. It is literally 5 mins from the airport and they offer free transfers in their shuttle bus if arranged in advance. It has a lovely pool, nice big rooms, close to the beach and far enough away from Kuta to be nice and quiet.
