Stay
in Legian
Some
of the TOP Hotels in Bali
Bali's
most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre
sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation,
shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but
most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast
Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north
coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural
centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized
overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged
every night of the week and the streets are full of
arts-and-crafts galleries.

There are about 30 /osmens in and around Legian, some
quite unique, tucked away in hard-tofind places. Legian
Beach Hotel has luxurious facilities; Rp7500 singles,
Rpl 5,000 doubles; Rp300 for outsiders to use the pool.
Accommodation Sinar Indah is one of the quietest /osmens;
Rp400 single, Rp600 double. Nice sea breeze and exactly
on line with the US$20 a day Legian Beach Hotel, and
just as adequate. Puspa Sari, JI. Laut, Rp500 or Rp600
single, Rp1000 double; a bungalow for four, Rp2000.
This is the place for the socializers; lot of strays.
Excellent food served, jaffles, ice drinks, etc. Has
electricity and offers a package-deal of 'room, full
board and motorcycle'. Mirabo is another central yet
hidden losmen off the main Legian road and down a path
through the rainforest. Off-season rates are as low
as Rp500 double. Surrounded by jungle, you just hear
the birds, insects and gekkos. Your things are quite
safe here; constantly guarded. About 300 m from the
highway down Gang Gereja (opposite Legian Beach Hotel
Road) is Yudistira, a fine losmen that's usually empty,
enclosed by bright green ricefields and coconut trees,
very quiet, and only 200 m from a river. Arjuna Inn
and Villa Inn are on the same lane. Play volley ball
each afternoon at the beginning of the lane with the
boys. Losmen Suratha, Rp300; very kind, Christian, the
brother of the owner is a cop, the grandmother makes
great flower arrangements, bubur hitam is served for
breakfast. At Korti's losmen out in the cow paddocks,
black rice pudding, bananas, toast and jam, plus coffee
and tea anytime are included in the price of a room,
Rp3-400 (a bargain!). Great service and it's halfway
between the beach and the road. Pension Sukaharta is
on the south side of Legian; Rp400 single, Rp600 double.
Sits by itself, is close to the beach, and you can rent
bicycles for Rp300 a day. north side of Legian: Three
Brothers Inn, Rp400 single, Rp600 double with private
bathrooms and a large garden; you can see the ocean.
Ideally located, Legian Sunset Beach Cottages is about
two km beyond Legian; units rent for Rp1500 double.
But the guys who run it are obnoxious and someone gets
something stolen practically every day. Also has a snack
bar. Tama's has opened a new flash restaurant that will
offer needed competition to Sunset Cottages. In the
same area as Sunset Beach are the Roby Inn /only four
rooms), and Made's, which are nearly as quiet. Blue
Ocean has little bamboo huts, Rp700. Belgi's is another
place, standard prices, many rooms; Belgi acts like
a mother hen to single girls. The most isolated and
remote losmens are beyond Sunset Cottages. Rent a bicycle
to make Legian and Kuta more readily accessible. Kayu
Aya's cottages, an enterprise which went bankrupt after
the manager absconded with the funds, is about 2'S km
beyond Legian; rent villas here for US$5-10 daily. The
bar is deserted, dusty and gone to weed. There are other
losmens even more remote charging standard prices; search
for them. The last two losmens are in Petitenget, one
hour's walk from Legian; an unreal area. One is called
'The Ricefield Losmen', Rp400 single or Rp600 double,
but is highly in demand and often full
