The 66-room Ossotel is a three-and-a-half pearl, trendy boutique hotel in Bali's hip Padma Legian Beach area, one block from the beach. The clean-line, contemporary rooms are equipped with requisite inclusions, such as minibars, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TVs, and have similarly modern bathrooms, with large rainfall showers. Romeos Bar & Grillery, the on-site restaurant and bar, is popular with guests and locals alike, and the free breakfast has a notably good selection. The outdoor pool winds its way between seating and greenery, and all ground-floor rooms have direct access, but it's worth noting that the pool is primarily in the shade. Free Wi-Fi and an area shuttle are available, in addition to 24-hour concierge and room services. The nearby Hard Rock Hotel Bali has chicer rooms and a waterpark, but rates are higher.

Legian Beach Hotel is a modern three-and-a-half pearl hotel set on lush tropical grounds, and located across a pedestrian-only street from Legian Beach. The extensive array of features includes two outdoor pools, a full-service spa, kids' club, and several restaurants and bars. With its spacious rooms -- including family options plus bungalows and even villas with private pools -- the hotel is particularly good for large groups and families. All 218 rooms feature free Wi-Fi, iPod docks, CD/DVD players, and flat-screen TVs, though we spotted just a bit of wear in some and street-facing rooms may pick up traffic noise. The Legian Beach Hotel compares favorably to the nearby Pullman Bali Legian Nirwana when it comes to facilities and beach-ready location, but rooms aren't quite as polished.

FuramaXclusive Ocean Beach is a three-and-a-half pearl hotel across the road from Double Six Beach, and a short walk from shopping, dining, and bars in Legian and Seminyak. With its large freeform swimming pool, sunset-facing restaurant, multiple bars, attractive spa, and beach-ready location, it's one of the better values in the area. On the downside, the pool area and many of the rooms could use sprucing up, despite their modern veneer. All rooms are spacious studios, suites, and penthouses, and include free Wi-Fi, iPod docks, and flat-screen TVs with DVD players. Balconies or terraces come standard, and some have partial ocean views. Travelers who want something with a more polished finish and Balinese character should consider AQ-VA Hotel & Villas as well, which is cheaper, but farther from the beach.

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.
