The spacious villas have large living rooms, full kitchens, dining areas, and massive, modern bathrooms with showers and soaking tubs that are partially open-air. Free made-to-order breakfast is provided daily, as are daily fresh fruit arrangements and afternoon tea. Though the property lacks a restaurant, bar, or fitness center, it offers a host of conveniences including spa services and free airport transfers.

It doesn't get much more central than the three-pearl Seminyak Square Hotel, located right in its eponymous shopping complex. There are plenty of dining options in the immediate area, plus the hotel has its own small cafe. There's not much more in terms of features, but the hotel does have a lovely rooftop pool. Guest rooms are spacious and equipped with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi, plus some have balconies. Two- and three-bedroom apartments are also available and these units come with large living rooms with dining areas and kitchenettes. The beach is just a five-minute walk away. Guests seeking something beachfront might want to check out the Pelangi Bali Hotel -- but rates are pricier.

PING Hotel Seminyak Bali is a contemporary three-and-a-half-pearl hotel situated just off the busy Jalan Camplung Tanduk, a short walk from shopping and dining. It's also just a five-minute walk to the beach. Many of the 51 rooms are compact, but decor is sharp and modern, with lots of moody colors and wood paneling. All come with minibars, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs, and some have balconies overlooking the pool. The outdoor pool is situated in an inner courtyard between the open-air lobby and open-air restaurant and bar. There's also a rooftop bar and fitness center with a small selection of mostly cardio equipment. Travelers who want bigger rooms and a sunnier pool might consider the nearby Artemis Villa and Hotel, though rates there will be higher.

The Dipan Resort Petitenget is a three-and-a-half-pearl boutique hotel located in downtown Petitenget, within walking distance from the beach, popular nightclubs, bars, and restaurants. Unfortunately, the tradeoff for this prime spot is noise from nearby nightclubs, especially on weekends. There are 14 contemporary, beach-chic room types available, from simple one-bedroom suites to three-bedroom villa complexes that contain private pools, garden patios, and living rooms. We did spot some wear in the rooms when we visited. There's a long main pool surrounded by flowering gardens, plus a small spa and a cafe that adjoins the hotel lobby. As an alternative, the stylish villas at the nearby Maca Villas are a big upgrade from Dipan Resort, though they are pricier.

The Bali Dream Villa Seminyak is composed of two, upscale, all-villa properties with exquisite gardens. The 30 modern -- yet authentic -- Balinese Villas have private pools, kitchenettes, open-air living spaces, and lovely stone bathrooms, but some get loud exterior noise and there have been complaints of mosquitos.

Other amenities include free Wi-Fi, loaner bikes, and an area shuttle, but airport transfers cost extra and there are no fitness or business facilities.

Desamuda Village is a three-pearl hotel located in downtown Seminyak, amid great dining, shopping, and nightlife options. However, it's a 20-minute walk from Seminyak Beach. The hotel features 28 rooms ranging from affordably priced one-bedroom suites to private pool villas.

Though mostly well maintained, the style is somewhat dated. Facilities are decent for a hotel in this price range and include two swimming pools and a reasonably priced restaurant, but no spa. Guests who'd prefer to stay closer to the beach may want to check out Samaja Beachside Villas instead, where rates are similar but features are even more limited.
