The hotels address on Expedia was wrong and google maps tried to take us through the W club next door, but we eventually found the right little dirt path down to the hotel.
First impressions were great, the hotel is nice, big, and open planned and the staff were very welcoming. They helped us with our bags up the large grand staircase and to our rooms.
Breakfast was perfect, the French toast with honey (more like syrup) was amazing and you could also get fresh fruit platters or juice. You can either go down and eat it in the poolside restaurant or have it delivered to your room (make sure you specify!).
The hotel is 100m to the beach just down a little lane, and on the beach are a few cheap eats. If you go further left all the resorts which are a bit more expensive, including the famous potato head beach club.
When we lay by the pool, we had it pretty much to ourselves which was ideal, but then we did go end of June.
This place is a bit more expensive than some classic traveller place she nearby but we wanted to have a little treat for my friends 21st. So glad we did, it's really close to town (if you walk along the beach) and it is our favourite hotel of our 1 month stay in Bali so far!
