We stayed at the HIU for 5 nights & loved it! First took the ocean villa for $75 inc. but no breakfast for 3 nights & then renegotiated for the next 2 nights at $70. Only problem we had was with the air con. Only 2 rooms ocean that were available were 8 & 9. While the air con was on & running, it was not "working" in 8 & 9. This was our 3rd experience in Bali with warm air con. By this time we knew it was a lost cause semantically to differentiate a machine that was on & running but not "working"--no cold air--with a machine that was not working--no air. They gave us a fan & moved us the 2nd day to 9, which while still not cold was liveable. I think that all of these need frion & servicing. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton for a week & Kupu Kupu Barong for a week, which were both terrific, but the HIU was
in many ways much better. Many Many Thanks for all the pre trip info.
