Would definately stay at Bali Garden Hotel without even a second thought. We've stayed there twice and would stay there again. Pool area (all 3 of them) beautiful, restaurant great and service through out the hotel 10 out of 10.
Stayed at Grand Istana Rama last yet for a week and wouldn't ever stay there again. Took them 3 goes in 24 hours to get us a decent room. Didn't like the pool area, no shade and not many pool lounges. We found the service (what service) to be dismal. During peak period difficult to get a taxi and you get stuck in the traffic jam.
Each to their own and everyone's opinion will differ.
