Pondok Pekak Library & Learning Centre

Kuta Sea View was exceptional. Bali is known for incredible hospitality, but this resort took it to another level. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with beautiful smiles, and the service only got better throughout my stay. My villa was immaculately clean, beautifully presented, and the bed was blissfully comfortable. The balcony with a daybed, surrounded by lush gardens, was a perfect place to sit in the shade and read a book. What impressed me most was the staff. Many of them, especially management, greeted me by name each time they saw me, which really stood out as this is not a tiny resort. Every staff member I encountered — housekeeping, bar staff, restaurant staff and administration — was friendly, welcoming and always smiling. The location is excellent, with the beach just across the road. Turn left and you can walk to traditional Bali shops and restaurants; turn right and you are close to Beachwalk Shopping Centre and plenty of dining options. The buffet breakfast had a huge range and the food was delicious. I also ate at the restaurant, which had a great variety of food and was reasonably priced. The pool area was spacious, with plenty of shade and very comfortable lounges. I honestly could not fault this resort and will certainly be booking again.

Legian beach hotel is a great place to stay. They seem to have accommodation for varying budgets. They were very accommodating with my requests and informative on arrival. Rooms are serviced daily and laundry facilities have improved this year. Daily breakfast is fantastic with a huge range of food. They have a number of restaurants on site. Kids pool, adult only pool with bars around the hotel. Location is just right, cross the road and you're on the sand. Definitely my ongoing accommodation when visiting Bali.

The hotel is wonderful
