Melasti Beach Resort is basically next door. Both are beach front properties. There is a road that runs between the hotel and the beach, but it's not used for traffic. All of the hotels along this strip in Legian that are beach front have the same road between the hotel and the beach. In central Kuta there is a busy road between most hotels and the beach. In Tuban the more expensive hotels have direct beach access, most of the others have access via other hotels.
You have to go a fair way north in Seminyak before you get any hotels that are right on the beach without the road in between.
Depending when you're going, MBR may be booked out as well. I know they're booked pretty solid for August already, because I couldn't get 3 more nights there when I extended my stay.
