I booked this hotel because it was close to two places I wanted to visit. I was not expeting much, but it turned out to be extremely good.
Check in was fast and easy. All staff, from the front desk clerks to the gardner were extremely friendly and made you feel comfortable while at the hotel. The room (villa style) was so spacious and pleaseantly set-up, it had a huge room, a balcony, a small kitchen and an spacious bathroom with a nicely sized closet. The room and the balcony had excellent views overlooking the water palace, the beach and neighboring islands to one side and a montain range to the other. The bed was extremely comfortable. The gardens are well taken care of, the have flowers everywhere, but some of the trees (especially thore around the pool) are recently planted and still need to grow. There's a central area beside the pool which will make for a lovely wedding or ceremony. The pool is open 24 hours, great if you spent your day outside and want to relax a little in the night. Location is good for the area, 15 minutes to Virgin beach, 3 minutes to water palace, 7 minutes to Amlapura, vlore to rice paddies and a lovely view of Mt. Agung.
The restaurant personnel is helpful and friendly, some of the menu options, especially local ones are great, others need some work.
On the cons: The road in front of the hotel is a dirt and stone one, and not in the best conditions. The room was a little dusty. There are no bars or restaurants close by.
