The Padma and Mandira are both in a great location. You can sit and have drinks watching the sunset at either of these hotels and there are many restaurants on that beach strip well worth going to.
Try Amed, Tulamben for day trip snorkelling or take 2 days to stay north and try Menjangen for a day.
I swim in the sea in the area you are looking at.
BTW it's Legian, not Legion, a common mistake on here:)
