Legian Beach Hotel – Expansive, convenient, long-established, and popular with families.

The extended entrance flanked by numerous ponds of goldfish epitomizes this spacious, Balinese-style resort. Located on the border of tranquil Legian and hedonistic Kuta, Legian Beach Hotel faces a peaceful beach and seaside path. Resort facilities are numerous (including tennis courts and surf shop), the two beachside pools are inviting and offer shade, and the gardens are thick with foliage and dotted with trickling fountains. Standard rooms are smallish but comfortable enough, while secluded and traditionally-designed bungalows appear dated, but have been lovingly renovated inside. The Little Starfish Kids Club offers more interesting activities than other resorts (e.g. Balinese dance and squirrel feeding), as well as a games room that older children would enjoy.

Legian Beach Hotel – Local Transport

• Walking & Cycling: Walkable to everything that Legian and Kuta have to offer. Cycling on the path alongside Legian Beach is great fun. Ask the hotel about bike rental.
• Public Transport: In lieu of any public transport, the Kura-Kura Bus company links Kuta with Ubud and the rest of southern Bali, but schedules are convoluted and routes confusing.
• Cars, Motorbikes, & Taxis: To go anywhere within southern Bali, hire metered taxis which are abundant, cheap, and comfortable. For longer distances, organize a chartered car with driver (for a negotiable fare). Drivers hang about street corners but it’s best to organize through the hotel. Driving a car is not recommended anywhere in Bali and renting one in Legian is madness. Motorbikes are easy to rent and useful for getting around the backstreets of Kuta/Legian/Seminyak, but not so elsewhere in southern Bali.
• Shuttle Bus: To reach another town outside of southern Bali, e.g. Ubud, buy a ticket at a travel agency for a shuttle bus. The main operator, Perama, provides services all over Bali from its office on Jalan Legian street in Kuta, about 2.5 km from the hotel by taxi.
