We just got back, stayed at the Padma for 10 nights. It's a great hotel with magnificent grounds, pool, location, food, and service. Very security minded, they even check all cars entering the grounds with a trolley mirror -all be it in a very relaxed Bali way.
We were upgraded to a Garden View Villa on arrival to our surprise. I believe they were full, probably over booked so we were lucky. Suggest you ask when you book in for an upgrade.
From memory if you need to pay for the upgrade it was a bit steep and probably not worth it. Depends what you want to spend your time doing of course.
