All Seasons Legian Bali Indonesia – Hotel Review and Photos
All Seasons Legian Bali, Indonesia
All Seasons Legian Bali is located at Jalan Padma Utara, just north of Kuta.
We booked a superior room at online via hotelclub.net a couple of months before . Our flight arrived at 9.35pm at Denpasar Airport so it was dark when we arrived.. We arrived at the hotel close to 11pm and was informed that they’ve upgraded our room because the superior rooms were full for the day. Check in was quick. Here’s the lobby of All Seasons Legian.
This is the view from our room, right smack in the center of the property, overlooking the swimming pool. Okay, actually overlooking the cabanas , daybeds and palm trees.
From the hotel’s website:
“All Seasons Legian Bali is seconds from the surf, shopping and restaurants of Legian and Kuta, two of Bali’s most celebrated resort districts. Funky contemporary design, friendly service and affordability are all combined at All Seasons for an outstanding Bali experience.”
When we first arrived our first impression was, “This is a very contemporary looking hotel”.
It doesn’t have a “Balinese resort” feel but there are small touches that will remind you that you’re in Bali, like these statues near the pool.
All Seasons Legian Bali Hotel Room
Our room was very spacious. Here’s a view from the entrance. On the left is the mini bar area, a work desk, daybed with two cushions and table. On the right is the TV, another desk, and queen bed. The wooden louvered door leads to the balcony with pool view. What is that switch on the orange wall for?
It is for the bathroom, which you’ll see in more detail in the section below.
The orange daybed with orange and green cushions. Luggage bench and table beside it.
Here’s a closer look at the work desk with iPod dock/clock. Free Wifi is not included in our room rate but we are able to get a 1 hour access chit from the lobby.
We got these cute colorful lollipops.
View of the spacious hotel bedroom. We did our own version of the barong dance in the middle of the room.
Another view of the bed. The room is clean. Room took quite some time to cool down.
You can control the room temperature here. We been in enough hotel rooms to not take individual temperature control for granted. ^_^”
Instead of the usual bedroom slippers, we got flip flops which came in their own cute bags which says “All Seasons is all you need”. We’ve reused the bag to put our shoes on other trips. Thanks All Seasons. ^-^
Room service, what shall I order for dinner? Sample of the prices of items on the menu, in Indonesian Rupiah, not inclusive of 21% government tax & service charge:

Water in glass bottles provided.
Kettle with coffee and tea provided. The kettle is clean (I’m looking at you Golden Tulip Lisse).
Modern artwork in the room depicting a scene of Balinese women balancing fruits on their heads.
All Seasons Legian Bali Hotel Bathroom
Here’s a look at the bathroom. It’s clean and bright. Funky mosaic tile wall at the bathtub area. Towels, face towels provided.
There was no hairdryer in the bathroom but it was promptly brought to us when we requested for it. Soap, shower cap, sanitary bag, soap dispenser. Note says do not flush sanitary napkin into the toilet bowl.
We didn’t try the breakfast because we left early each morning for our guided tour. Sign says “Wednesday night. Barbeque buffet dinner with live music. Come an join at colors cafe.”
Conclusion
It’s a clean hotel with contemporary furnishing. Our upgraded room is spacious. There are a couple of convenience stores (7-11, CircleK), money changer, markets, shops and restaurants in the vicinity of the property and the beach is a couple of minutes walk away.
While All Seasons Legian Bali lacks a rustic Balinese charm, it makes up with efficient service. We stayed there for two nights and with full days of touring on both the days, we did nothing much than to collapse in bed each night so this hotel suited our needs fine. If you’re the type who wants the right ambiance to match your holiday destination, this won’t be your best bet but if you’re not looking for something fancy, All Seasons Legian is a great option to consider. Should we visit Bali again, we would probably try a more Balinese style resort, but for its location, cleanliness and price, we certainly wouldn’t mind staying here again.

Sentosa Flowers 2011 — Spring Wonderland
Who is crazy enough to visit Sentosa during a public holiday in Singapore? We are! We visited the Sentosa Flowers 2011 on the second day of Chinese New Year!
Here’s a little information about Sentosa Flowers 2011 from the official website:
“Sentosa Flowers is the most celebrated flower exhibition during Chinese New Year. Known as “Chun Jie” or “Life flourishes in Spring” in Mandarin, this event signifies an auspicious beginning to the year. Sentosa Flowers floral extravaganza returns for the sixth time to usher in the Lunar New Year. This year, Sentosa Flowers is themed “Spring Wonderland” as Spring is considered the most beautiful season of all. Most flowers bloom during this time and they come in all colours of the rainbow.”
Sentosa Boardwalk
The Sentosa Flowers experience starts from the recently opened Sentosa Boardwalk, located near VivoCity shopping mall. There are signs in the shopping mall with directions to the boardwalk.
Sentosa Boardwalk, which officially opened in late January 2011, connects VivoCity waterfront promenade to Sentosa Island. The boardwalk is free to use and has a covered walkway with two-way travellators. To get into Sentosa Island, you have to pay the island admission fee, which is $1 by foot via the boardwalk. You can use your transit EZ-link card for payment at the gate.
Sentosa Boardwalk is dotted with clusters of colorful flowers
Sentosa Flowers
Before visiting the flower festival, you will need to manage your expectations.The weather in Singapore can be quite hot and wet right now and most often than not it is both hot and wet outside, this being the rainy season in Singapore. If you happen to descend upon Sentosa on a public holiday like we did, it would most definitely be very crowded too. Wear comfortable footwear, light clothing and carry an umbrella.
The posters promoting this event include pictures of never-ending carpets of tulips and other flowers on rolling hills in a plethora of rainbow colors but be warned that this is no Keukenhof and the only tulip blooms you’ll actually get to see are giant 2.5m fibre-glass ones at Imbiah Lookout. It is still a quite a fun way to spend some time with the family outdoors.

Resorts World Sentosa FestiveWalk
After the Boardwalk, we made our way to Resorts World Sentosa area to continue to check out the flowers around FestiveWalk. You can see the gigantic Fortune Rabbit there, opposite the Universal Studios entrance. Standing 4 .5 storeys or 14 metres high, it is the largest and tallest topiary rabbit is one the centrepiece of Resorts World Sentosa’s Lunar New Year celebrations.
So huge, it can't fit into the frame

Crowd near the Lake of Dreams.
Resorts World Sentosa logo fully covered in real roses. Oh, and real mandarin oranges plant. Some of the fruits have been plucked off the tree, we suspect by the end of the week, all the fruits may be gone.
Imbiah Lookout
There were too many people around Merlion Plaza, so we didn’t take much photos there. We made our way to Imbiah Lookout next. This section has the most number of flowers.
Yellow flowers…
Bunches of pink flowers.

Wide view - it's just a bush
Fragrant lilies surrounding the fake giant tulips.
It’s the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit, so you’ll see a lot of bunny statues like this one which looks like it’s going to naturally fertilize some of the flowers there.
Real flowers framed by larger fake ones.
On our way back… we took the travellator to VivoCity. A lot of people were still making their way to Sentosa Island via the boardwalk at 6pm. Visiting hours are extended to 10pm for this period.
"Images of event highlights are artists' impression only." The Magical Tree doesn't look so magical here.
Sentosa Flowers is a free event but you’ll need to pay Sentosa Island admission and transportation charges at prevailing rates. If you’re going into the island by foot, like we did, you can use your EZ-link card to pay for the admission fee at the gate, which is $1.
