what did you want to know? If you search the archives for my HNRs you will find my thoughts on the room we stayed in.
PROS: The resort itself is nice and has a great pool area. I liked the quieter location, still an easy walk to the beachfront path & up to other restaurants/resorts, Discovery for shopping etc. The buffet breakfast was great, big selection & variety.
CONS: I was disappointed with the room itself (a Deluxe room which smelt like a dirty ashtray and had a tiny bathroom). The terrace was also very small & was not under cover but did have a nice outlook onto a central garden area. The rooms are tired & in need of a freshen up (work on an adjacent building began on the last day of our stay & had already been completed in the "Suites").
Prices for food & drink were VERY inflated (RP 60,000 for a small Bintang and RP 90,000 for a Margherita pizza). This was disappointing as we often like to have lunch by the pool but only did so once. The prices were more than what was charged at a 5 star resort in Nusa Dua :-(
Overall, although I liked the location I don't know that I'd return, mainly because of the food & drink prices. We travel with a young child & don't want to have to leave the hotel for every meal (or take out a bank loan to eat in LOL!)
