Padma is a beautiful hotel,more upmarket in the Legian area.On the beach and within walking distance to everything you need. Mandera Hotel is on its left and Melasti on its right.ITALIAN RESTAURANT La Monde next door- good, has a small supermarket underneath which you can pretty well buy any items like deodorants,snacks,beer,other drinks,cereal, etc. Very handy position.In Bali you have to look at everything being walking distance, although, sometimes I probably should have taken the cab but you miss things and bargains.As many of Bali streets are one way you have to understand that a cab will go around in multiple circles and back streets to get little more than 1 klm, so thats why you often walk.Mataharis is at Kuta square(middle of Kuta)great place similar to a Grace Bros.but it has an excellent money changer at the bottom of the escalator ,inside store. A second Matahari,which was near the Sari club has closed down.
