Fodor's Expert Review Aquarius Beach Hotel

Contemporary international and Balinese styles harmonize at the Aquarius Beach Hotel. Each of the bright, spacious rooms maintains its minimalist feel even while providing a sofa and chairs around a coffee table, a desk, LCD TV with dozens of channels, and four-poster king bed draped with mosquito net. White walls are hung with colorful Balinese paintings and mirrors with intricately carved frames. Sliding-glass doors open to terraces overlooking a manicured garden. A two-level deck with cushioned lounge chairs rings the swimming pool. The beach is a three-minute walk, and restaurants and shops are even closer.
