Legian Melasti Beach Resort

Stayed Melasti Beach resort in Legian for 12 nights DEC2010. Our 3rd trip to Bali but 1st time at this resort. Rooms were nice and clean. Sheets changed daily - we had trouble with our drains blocking once but hey, it is Bali and we've had this at other hotels also. Very good size room fitting 2 adults and 2 children nicely. By Australian standards it's certainly not a 4 star resort, but it is Bali after all. Great grounds - fantastic restaurant straight across the road upstairs - thoroughly recommend it. Breakfast at Melasti was very basic bordering on poor and restaurant staff extremely slow and unattentive. Would not recommend eating at the resort restaurant..food is not nice-singing entertainment is like listening to bad karaoke - we had off prawns and had to return it. Another night both pizza and spagetti for the kids had hair in it. We never ate there again for our whole trip. Slug you the 21% tax too which most other restaurants include & they are cheaper too. Disappointed with the pool bar - it's in the deep end of the pool and speakers were right on top of it so very loud. The pool at Bali Garden Resort is the best family pool we've encountered in Bali but their "newly renovated" rooms are way below Melasti standards. Would we stay at Melasti in Legain again? No - rooms nice, but restaurant, pool, pool bar well below expectations.

i read with interest all these reviews, did i stay in a melasti beach in a different dimension.

this hotel does not merit any stars never mind three.

We booked an upgrade to get a better room and we got a larger room but the decor was really bad, stained ceilings, broken fixures and fittings, the bathroom was terrible with stained bath and shower curtains, floor and patched up seals and grouting, not to mention holes in the insect screens. I think we got a white towel occasionally mostly they were grey and very off putting.The whole hotel was falling to pieces, the pool areas had broken tiles, crumbling cement and cracked walkways around the pool, the sunbeds were dirty, mouldy or broken and the pvc covers were torn or dirty if there was any, we use the pool area twice. The dining room was like canteen at breakfast the and the greese on the floor made it very slippery. we only had our included breakfast once as it was really bad. We did try the restaurant at dinner but that was not much better and the entertainment mostly played to empty tables everynight, wonder why?

This has to be the worst hotel i have ever stayed at in Bali or anywhere else.

Lovely aspect at the Legian Melasti Beach Resort, friendly staff, great value, swim up bar excellent. The beach is fantastic and the hotel is really nice. We are booking there again this year, and I cant stress enough how lovely the gardens and staff are.

I have visited the Legian Melasti Beach Hotel about 12 times, you are treated like one of their family.

The management and staff go out of their way to help you with any of your problems. When I go to Bali on holidays, if I cannot get into the Melasti Hotel then I don't go on holiday.

The wife and I are in our mid-seventies so I can recommend the hotel for elderly people. It is also a paradise for families with young children.

3 swimming pools, just metres from the beach.

I am just in the procedure of booking another holiday there.

Have stayed at Melasti 5 years running. Have got to know all the staff, which we adore. So friendly. For a 3star hotel I would certainly recommend to anyone. Can't wait for august as we will be there again for 3 weeks.

The staff at the Melasti Beach Resort in Bali were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms serviced daily to an excellent standard. The Spa is to die for - an absolute must. Staff very friendly and professional. There are a number of different types of massages e.g. reflexology, full body treatments and facials etc. I tried them all. I compared the price with other hotel spas, and Melasti proved to be the best value for money. I stayed in a superior single room overlooking the pool. Huge room with big bed. Location - easy access to beach, shopping and food. The pools were great as well.

Initially, I thought my room looked a bit tired, as there were water stains on walls as well as cracks. Towels were quite worn, and could do with throwing out, but this was easily bypassed by the good points noted above. For those who might be concerned about weight, you might want to tell the chef to go easy on the oil when making your bacon and eggs for breakfast.

I would definitely recommend staying there. Very family orientated. I stayed here on my own, and I felt well cared for by staff. Nothing was too much trouble.

Melasti Beach Resort an absolutely great place to stay. Kids loved it and there are enough pools to lose them for a while. Has the most gracious staff I have ever encountered and have recommended all friends back in Australia to stay there. Security at both ends of the hotel and doorman at your beck and call. The staff couldn't do enough for us and always smiling. We felt very safe here. The hotel is central to shopping, food, bars and safe money changers. Although food at the hotel was fine.
