Sun Island Legian Review

From the moment I arrived at the Sun Island Legian I felt warmly welcomed. While I am aware smiling service is the standard in Bali, Sun Island Legian went a few steps above this. As we had arrived early, our room was not yet ready, so we were invited to lounge by the pool until it was.

Walking through the hotel grounds was a pleasure as I was consistently greeted by each and every staff member I saw. This made me feel very special and like I had come ‘home’ even though I was only here a few days.

Sun Island Legian Review

The Location:
Sun Island is located right in the midst in the busy Legian area, but as soon as you step inside the grand foyer, you escape all of the noise and the chaos from the road outside. It is a fantastic location because you can walk almost everywhere you might like to go: the beach, large malls, shopping streets, restaurants, spas and minimarts. I really like being in a centrally located area so long as my sleep isn’t compromised, and Sun Island was the perfect balance of centrality and retreat. If you want a luxurious hotel in the heart of Legian, Bali then this is it.

The Facilities:

First, let’s all just take a moment to appreciate how stunning that pool is!

Sun Island Legian has two pools and I spent time at both of them. The rooftop pool is quite shallow, but perfect for lounging around watching the sunset. There is also a very comfortable set of loungers and comfortable seating areas here, so it’s a wonderful place to bring a book or some friends to unwind. The other pool is more of an infinity pool overlooking the busy street below. It is really a gorgeous pool and a great place to cool down.

The spread for buffet breakfast is considerable and there’s more than enough options on offer to keep even the fussiest eaters happy. If you’re a fan of coffee, make sure you have some of their Bali coffee; it is divine.

The Room:
We had a suite room, which was so large we could have lived in it, indefinitely.  I actually had to use the Pano mode on my phone to fit it all in. The bathroom had everything we needed from double basins (one of my favourite features in a room), a large bath and rain shower. There was a large TV, a luxurious sitting area and a desk, as well as ample space for our bags. There were tea and coffee making facilities in room, but we spent our time by the pool enjoying the delicious iced coffees.

Book this hotel if… you want a slice of luxury a stone’s thrown from everything you would want and need.  The hotel is very new, immaculately clean and modern. It would suit a wide range of travellers as it has everything you need for any type of holiday.
