This hotel was an excellent stay. Very remote, quiet, tranquil, on the beach. Had various restaurants to choose from, food is ok, and expensive. I was upgraded from a standard suite, which was nice, to the Mandavi suite with a private pool. Our suite was located next to the palace lounge which was a treat. The grounds are well kept and the staff was a pleasure to encounter. The only negative thing to mention, they have to pay attention to cleaning bathrooms thoroughly, especially toilets, and vacuum rugs due to sand build up and dirt from previous guest. The Bali Connection Mall is within walking distance. The Balinese dinner show was amazing. I really enjoyed my stay, my first choice if I return again.
