First of all, Alam Indah a very small complex owned by Wayan and Ketut of Cafe Wayan of Monkey forest road......it has various styles of accommodation 3-4 traditional balinese style that are very average and actually owned by a friend of theirs but included in and marketed as part of Alam Indah,...the units actually owned by Wayan and Ketut ( 5 for memory) are again very individual so Good and others fair,...plus one villa right at poolside which I would assume would be the one quoted at $95 or $135 which at $ 95 is would still be overpriced as its ground floor front door is only a couple of mts from pool edge so no privacy from other using the pool
The prices you've quoted, well hard to say just which standard you would get,...but the lowest quoted price is definitely to much for those owned by the friend,....and not real value for the others... a lot of competition around Ubud
I personally would be looking elsewhere as you take the chances with just which unit you would get...and those qoted rates aren't cheap for the quality of the accomodation
