THE LEGIAN, BALI

Myself and my husband spent the second week of our Honeymoon in Bali and we could not have asked for a better experience. This has got to be one of the most beautiful hotels in the world, with truly superlative service from the moment you arrive in your chauffeured car to check out. Where do you even begin' You feel like royalty at the Legian- the amount of treats and special things they do for the guests are in abundance. We had a drinks reception and canapés around the pool, daily afternoon treats including cold ice tea and sorbets (in addition to the afternoon tea snacks) we even got to release baby turtles back into the sea. An unforgettable experience. The staff all know you by name and greet you wherever you go. The moment you arrive on a sunlounger it is prepared with fresh, warm towels and iced water and sprays and cool cloths are brought out to your lounger table, decorated with a beautiful Balinese flower. The rooms are turned down 2 times a day, with little treats being placed in your room in the evening. We had champagne and a beautiful Honeymoon dessert cake on arrival. Blissful! The restaurant is out of this world for dinner (incredibly romantic setting) and the breakfasts are absolutely unforgettable (I'm still dreaming about those mini chocolate pancakes!) The hotel also occupies a superior spot right on the beach - other hotels also have great reviews along this stretch, but the Legian's beach frontage is something else- lush green ferns frame the grand (but not imposing) concrete wall which perimeters the hotel front - it looks like a beautiful jungle paradise. Some of the hotels had extremely run-down fronts - not the Legian. You really feel like you've chosen the best place on the beach when you're there. The spa is sensational (you can have a massage in the spa centre on the grounds of the hotel, listening to the water crash over the rocks as you relax), the architecture divine (walking around the hotel at night, the pools in the different areas are lit up with floating candles and incense is burned to give a beautiful vibe). Needless to say, your minibar is stacked full of treats, all free, and replenished daily. The only problem is, once you have stayed here, you'll never want to stay anywhere else in Bali. It is truly unforgettable.

I really enjoyed my time at the Legian hotel. It is very clean and luxurious. I would definitely recommend staying in this hotel. The hotel was clean and comfortable, with a very friendly staff. Their listing says they have a transportation service and they even have a small sign in the lobby reading such but when I asked about it, they offered to call a taxi,I chose Uber for 1/4 the cost of a taxi. Staff was very helpful with anything I needed.

The Legian is an absolutely gorgeous place to spend your time in Bali. It's perfectly, centrally located in Seminyak and you can easily get to anything you can think of. The beach views are to die for, and the hospitality is second to none. We were here for a week for our honeymoon in July, and we would recommend it to anyone thinking about traveling to Bali. If we return to Bali from the U.S., we'll be back without a doubt! (Oh, and the sea turtle release into the wild was a highlight!) Too much fun at a gorgeous hotel.

We live in Bali for many years now but stayed in The Legian while our villa was being prepared. Since then, we've always made it a point to return regularly and most regularly to their incredible Poolside-Oceanside bar. Whenever I'm there, I think this is how all hotels should be,classy, graceful, and fun. The staff always attend to us impeccably and know our drink preferences as we enter. Sunset is our choice time to visit and in my opinion, this is the best place to view it, with a Martini in hand of course. We love bringing our friends that visit Bali here and most definitely when they need accommodations, we recommend The Legian as well. Don't change a thing Legian, everything is just right!

We stayed here last year in a one bedroom suite and couldn't wait to come back. The quality of everything in the hotel - room, food, bed, furnishings - is exceptional, but the main reason to come back is the staff. Always friendly and super helpful and they all seem to know your name. The baby turtle release on the beach was a delight, as was the manager's cocktail party in the beach house. Looking forward to 2018!
