Hi Kay
Great Hotel, couldn't fault it.
Room service are on the ball and get your order right the first time! (well they did for us anyway) They are also quite reasonable in prices if you didn't feel like "searching" for a nearby restaurant to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner. (Bintang's at the pool bar at 8,000 rups which I think is quite reasonable (at the Padma next door they are 18,000)
Grounds are lovely, grassed area goes right to the beach so you can sit on a sun lounge and stare at the ocean all day if you wished. This is also a good spot to take your duty free booze late in the afternoon and watch the sunset.
We stayed in the bungalows which were clean and resonably roomy. Hairdryer supplied in the bathroom -(important for me as I have long hair). Rooms are cleaned within half hour of you advising housekeeping to "make up your room". Beds are comfy and pillows super soft - just the way I like it.
We met quite a few people who stay at this hotel year after year. We sure will be staying there next year.
Hope this helps feel free to ask any other questions and have an enjoyable holiday.
