Despite not having time to sleep, we checked in and found a place to stay close to the airport, just to drop off our bags and suitcases and explore Kuta before our evening flight. Our first impression upon arrival at Pondok Anyar was "Cool" amidst the onslaught of Bali, which is soooooo cool. There are hotels in Kuta that have a cool atmosphere upon check-in. The staff was also friendly.
