Across the street from Kuta Beach, the 80-room Alam KulKul Boutique Resort is an upscale property with plenty of amenities. Modern rooms have some traditional design elements, and most have balconies and walk-in tile showers. Some have plunge pools and rainfall showerheads. The two outdoor pools and kids' pools feel private and serene -- as does the full-service spa -- and there are two on-site restaurants and two bars. However, the property lacks fitness facilities and elevators, and only some rooms have access to the AlamClub. Guests desiring a beachfront hotel with lower rates should consider the Grand Istana Rama Hotel Bali.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Jayakarta Bali has 344 rooms and a great location next to Legian Beach, with shops and restaurants nearby. While the hotel’s gardens and grounds are pretty and tropical, this isn't a peaceful, relaxing choice. Rooms are dated and dark, with numerous reports of unpleasant sewage smells in the bathrooms, plus barely working Wi-Fi and lots of wear. The two pools are attractive -- one has a swim-up bar -- but they are busy and loud, and loungers can be difficult to score. The hotel can feel crowded, and its somewhat rowdy atmosphere is more suited to large groups than couples seeking a romantic getaway. Travelers will get more for their money at the cheaper Ossotel down the block. It has a contemporary, boutique vibe, but a smaller pool.

Baleka Resort Hotel & Spa is a three-pearl resort in central Legian, a short walk from shopping and dining and an eight-minute walk from Legian Beach. While the resort has its modern charms -- like it's long outdoor pool with a kiddie pool and swim-up bar -- the 82 rooms are simple and some decor verges on dated. They include minibars, free Wi-FI, and flat-screen TVs. The Baleka also has an on-site spa, and a restaurant serving Indonesian and Western fare -- the latter gets solid marks from previous guests and serves a popular breakfast buffet, though it's not free. The Baleka is a little more basic than the nearby AQ-VA Hotel & Villas, where rooms are far fresher and brighter, and rates are just a bit higher.

The surf theme at the three-and-a-half-pearl Bliss Surfer Hotel is quirky and playful, and the hotel's numerous features give it a laid-back, upmarket vibe at low prices.
