Stayed last October with family of 4. We had a large ground floor room and buffet breakfasts were about 6 out of 10 (part of the package). Still better than paying! Unfortunately the pool due to its aspect (full sun) was not refreshing after some hard work shopping at Kuta.
There are plenty of nice restaurants within walking distance. Tried the swiss/german consulate one, thai on the corner near the Jayakarta and the Poco Loco mexican (all very good value fo rmoney except the last one). There is also plenty of good shopping nearby, particularly original surf gear - Billabong, Rusty, Quicksilver etc.
Still I felt the "resort" while starting to show its age is very comfortable and clean. Had no problem with the hawkers on the beach. Gave them all the shampoo, soap & conditioner on leaving and they were pretty happy with this gesture.
