Seminyak Lagoon All Suites

The hotel's setting is intimate and the ambience is tranquil and laid back, owing in part to the quiet location, which feels removed from the hustle and bustle of nearby Seminyak. A long lap pool is the central feature of the hotel, and all rooms and facilities are oriented around it. Long vines hang from the second story of the hotel down into pool creating beautiful shade and greenery. Flowering trees and tropical greenery peek through everywhere, and while the style indoors is bohemian and bright, there isn't much action at the hotel. A majority of guests who come through the hotel are couples looking for quiet downtime and the hotel's atmosphere feels well suited to deep rest and relaxation, though frills here are limited. 

The hotel is located in a quiet residential area on the outskirts of Seminyak. The nearest restaurants and shops are located on Kunti I Street, a 10-minute walk from the hotel across busy Sunset Road highway. While that isolation means it's a bit quieter here, you'll need wheels to see most of what's of interest in the area. Seminyak Beach is a 15-minute drive away, which borders Kuta Beach, but tends to be quieter. The waves here are similar to Kuta Beach and well suited to novice surfers, numerous vendors along the beach offer surf lessons and board rentals. There are also some happening beachfront bars and restaurants that get packed during sunset hours. Popular venues include La Plancha Beach Bar and Restaurant and Chez Gado Gado. For a more extensive selection of dining options, head over to Seminyak's Eat Street, which is also a 15-minute drive from the hotel. It's lined with Bali's trendiest restaurants plus a huge selection of boutiques, bars, and hip cafes. Both Kuta Beach and the airport are located around 30 minutes from the hotel, though traffic in the area can be unpredictable and can lengthen driving times considerably.

The clean and contemporary rooms are bright and airy, with large glass doors and windows leading out onto balconies overlooking the pool. Both room types have identical layouts and features, though Lagoon Suites offer direct pool access, with balconies that lead directly into the water. Interiors are elegant and a bit boho, featuring teak furniture, and comfy upholstered couches. Decor is minimal, with just one small black-and-white photograph on display and wrought iron details. White and warm wood tones predominate, with black-and-white tiling in the kitchenettes, and wainscoting above beds in some rooms adding a touch of class. Additional furniture includes wardrobes as well as work tables and chairs. Kitchenettes are equipped with two-burner stovetops, coffee- and tea-making facilities, sinks, and mini-fridges. Other standard amenities include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, iPod docks, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are uncluttered and stylish, with marble covered vanities and roomy glassed-off showers. Bathrobes, toiletries, and slippers are provided.

Despite being located outside the heart of Seminyak's action, there's not much to keep guests entertained while on-site. The defining feature of the hotel is a long narrow lap pool, which cuts through the center of the property. The far end of the pool features a roomy wooden deck with lounge chairs. It's surrounded by tropical greenery. Dining options at the hotel are limited, with just one restaurant that only serves breakfast. The meal is served as a buffet and guests reviews on the quality of food are mixed. For lunch and dinner, guests have to order order off the small room service menu or head into town. Note that although the room service menu includes beers, cocktails are not available. 

The hotel has a concierge desk to help guests arrange transport services, motorbike rentals, and other activities. Two iMacs are set up in the lobby. Other facilities on the property include a lounge area and limited fitness center that contains a cross trainer, exercise bike, and multi-purpose weight machine. The hotel's shuttle services come with a charge, but both parking and Wi-Fi are free.
