For the price one pays, this hotel is worth its value in gold! We took a standard room which came with a living cum dining room, a fully functional kitchen with gas and utensils and a small balcony.The bedroom and living had separate split aircons and the rooms were fairly spacious and well furnished. The bathroom was ok size, had no bathtub. The pool was good. The breakfast ok. The staff at the front desk were businesslike - could afford to be more cheerful and friendly. The hotel has a good lobby and greenery all around and is spread over a large area. However, this hotel has one big drawback - it is far away from any activity. It is on a hilltop in a residential area with no market place around and no tourist sites. Taxis are available 24 hours in the hotel compound and south Kuta area (the most visited place in Bali)is approx 11 km from the hotel with local taxis charging around $6 for one way trip. Hotel has a small van as a shuttle towards Kuta, if I recollect, twice a day. However, its not convinient to adjust your trip as per the shuttle. we used it only once in our 4 days stay there. However, all tour operators would pick up and drop off at the hotel. I would recommend this hotel if you are going to stay for long duration, don't mind staying away from activity around Kuta/jimbaran/legian (bargain shopping, beaches, malls, ATMs,nite life!) and are happy staying and enjoying the facilities within the hotel. For everything else, there are better areas to stay, though you would probably pay double the price for the same facilities! So it all depends on what you are looking for in Bali!!
