Review of Padma Resort Bali

Best Honeymoon Holiday Resort on the Beach in Bali...

Best Honeymoon Holiday Resort on the Beach in Bali
The location of the Padma Resort in Legian is in the quieter side of town (we would never stay in the Kuta area), although whilst Kuta does have more action including nightlife, we have heard from various friends and a past experience, that Kuta is far more hectic and can sometimes be a lot scarier, particularly if you are taking younger children on your holiday. We prefer the Legian area as there are heaps of places to eat in Legian near the Padma Resort and it s central to everything around. In our opinion you won't regret staying here!

We stayed our last 4 nights in the Padma Legian Resort in early March and prior to this also at the Padma Ubud Resort for 4 nights as part of a package deal. The Legian Resort is very beautiful to say the least. We were upgraded to one of the Premier Deluxe Villas with a massive king size plus bed and all the breakfasts are included in these amazing deals they have running and the variety of choice on offer is absolutely FANTASTIC!

The breakfasts have everything you could imagine, including a multitude of Asian flavours, a huge selection of freshly squeezed juices and a full western buffet breakfast spread. An Indonesian cook is also available to cook your Indonesian stir fry breakfast, or even your eggs exactly the way you like them!

This was part of our Bali honeymoon and we wanted one of the better 5-star resorts that still has much of the Balinese architecture and feel to it. Legian Padma offered all of this, plus so much more. The five different pools were all fantastic and so were all of the different pool bars and food outlets around this resort. The staff were all absolutely amazing and certainly value-added to the memorable experience of our fantastic holiday in Bali.

The tropical gardens around the resort grounds were also amazing and very well maintained. The pool area s are all designed for children and families and they also have one pool exclusively for adults only, all with very nice swim-up bar areas. The resort staff were all very friendly and helpful and the language barrier never really seemed to exist, as most staff spoke pretty good broken English.

At each of the Padma Resorts, they always supplied us with 4 bottles of drinking water each and every day, so we welcomed that, so neither of us got sick nor had any signs of the dreaded Bali Belly that we hear so much of. The deluxe villas are also situated in a well designed way where you feel like you have a lot of privacy and of course they are all surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens.

If you want an experience that you will always both remember and treasure, then try the Padma Resort s package deal with their Legian and Padma Resorts so try them both, we did, and we loved them both. Our suggestion is 3 or 4 nights in Padma Ubud, then the rest of your stay at the Padma Legian.

At the Padma Resort you are located right on the beach in the middle of the town, and you can grab a local taxi to get to all the action and the adventure of the nightlife and the amazing local bars, restaurants and the crazy hectic shopping experiences that the Legian area has to offer.

Of course, like anything else, with this hotel you might have to pay a little more for it, but it was well worth it. We WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Padma Legian Resort as this was an amazing Bali honeymoon experience!!! by Andrew & Jenny
