We were at Nyepi at Novotel Beneo This year. Loved the day. Yes the shops close early arvo the day before and some shops are closed for a couple of days so I would choose somewhere were you were planning to chill for some time. The night before Nyepi is wonderful. After travelling to bali for the past 12 years it is one of the best experiences. Try to gewt to a parade with the locals and watch the ogah ogah. We loved this part. The hotels in my experience do some room serviice but have tended to puit on compulsary buffetts for the guests. You can choose if you want to participate or not. We chose to have bfast and then dinner. Hang out bu the poool. Iw ould also reccommened buying up heaps of snacks and drinks the morning before. ENJOY THIS SPECIAL TIME.
