We have stayed there every year for the past 6 years and have never encountered drunken yobbos at this hotel. The clientele are a mix of families, couples and young adults. You should have a great time, but make sure you request the superior rooms near the new pool as they are really nice.
Melasti also has their own spa on the premises so you can have all the beauty treatments you require there. There is also plenty of other places nearby that can do similar.
Look for Garlic Lane whichis in Legian, as there are some nice restaurants and bars where you should enjoy a drink or too and its not too rowdy. Billy's bar and restaurant is a favourite of ours. If you are into something a little energetic, then the bicycle day trip is a must for 1st timers. It will really give you an insight into the balinese way of life and is a really great day out.
enjoy your trip
