We too stayed in a pool Villa at the Novotel Benoa. We thought they were amazing and felt spoilt with the monring tea platter which was delivered each day. We only stayed there 4 nights, but it felt like ages. Soooooo relaxing. We are heading back in May with our children as well and, after enquiring, we were quite surpised to find out that the price differnce between a 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom villa is HUGE. It would be cheaper for us to stay in 2 x one bedroom villas - which would give us 2 pools and 2 lounges plus money left over! It was a shame as they pretty much had our business for our next trip.
So, instead we have booked to stay in the 2 bedroom + plunge pool Villa in Novotel Nusa Dua. These have a full kitchen and dining room, but I will miss the beautiful outdoor lounge area that was at the Benoa Villa. But for $136 US a night I think that they are terrific.
