Ron, If the 'Grand Bali' you refer to is the Grand Bali Beach in Sanur, you will not be disappointed. The hotel has fabulous grounds and great pools and, of course, right next door is one of my favourite places in the whole of Bali.. . Segara Beach Market!!
Whilst in Bali, do hire a taxi and venture on down to Nusa Dua. You will then understand why 'we lot' talked you out of staying there. It is very sterile, well manicured and could be anywhere on Earth. Each resort tends to merge into the next. It isn't Bali!
We've probably got more sleeps to go than you, but still can't wait. Pity you can't join us this Saturday night: you'd see just how the place affects us.. but fear not, you'll soon be one(*) as well!
Regards and Happy Travels
