location is shown as left and right of main
Legian road if facing to Seminyak from Legian,
or direction of North - South. Today the
traffic can not go directly from the cross
road or from Bemo Corner to Legian, Traffic
must go directly to the beach road then
turn right following Melasti.
Legian
is the smallest area of Kuta city, and it
can be said that it is still in central
Kuta. The main area of Legian is on the
left and right of now narrow jalan Legian,
starting from jalan Melasti at the southern
edge of Legian village area northward up
to the road leading to Jayakarta hotel.
Along jalan Legian is famous with it's night
life, and fine private beaches until the
year of 2000, when the people of Legian
decided to open a road leading from the
southern border of Legian village up to
the northern border of Legian village. This
road in fact has cut the privacy of beaches
between all Legian hotels with the beach
itself. Hotels in Legian area are mostly
middle class down and small hotels. Seen
from category of Legian hotels, they are
mostly middle down, and plenty of them are
simple and cheap Legian hotels, especially
along jalan Pura Bagus Teruna and the short
cut road from jalan Melasti. Most of Legian
hotels are first class hotels, non star
compared to central Kuta the number of this
Legian hotels type is far more smaller.
The highest category of Legian hotels are
only Legian Beach hotels and Jayakarta Bali
hotel and White Rose hotel. More lower category
but popular Legian hotels are Adhi Dharma
hotel and Legian Paradiso hotel. The main
problem for Legian hotels is the condition
of the road, now can't be entered by bus
with seat more than 20. For group staying
at one of Legian hotels, have to change
into smaller car from Legian station near
the main road of Jalan Raya Kuta or Jalan
Imam Bonjol. But Legian has fine and big
number of shops with various products. The
problem that is unsolved along Legian street
is the traffic, the most dense traffic in
Kuta, beside the road is narrow. This was
the main reason of Legian people to open
the road on the beach. The situation does
not make it possible for the bus to enter
the area. A group more than 20 persons staying
at hotels in Legian must be splitted into
smaller groups by using smaller vans. This
is the hazard of Legian Hotels operation
