It looks like we will have another option on Kuta Beach. The picture looks a bit underwhelming and Kuta is not my fav place on Bali but then again, I can very well imagine the W and Sheraton being complimentary on this part of the island.

If you are given a choice between W Bali and Sheraton Bali, which one would you support?

Good Morning Thyetus,
Glad I am not Ms. JohnSIN this morning
I would support W Bali first.
I might be tempted to pay a visit when it opens and of course, in case of a required mattress run, it will be great to have 2 options in the Seminiak, Kuta area. Can hotel hop everyday.
I dont really care about the brand (even if its 4P) as long as its comfortable, but I would really like to see a Starwood property in Ubud. Hilton appears to be ahead with a Conrad planned there, and from what I heard it would be quite spectacular.
I too, would like to see Sheraton/Westin in Ubud. Visited in 2008 and it was truly the most serene and magical place. It's a world away from hussle and bustle of Kuta.
Does anybody have any information on whether this property will be open on 01Sep12? We're planning a trip for October and are trying to determine our options for Starwood redemption.

I don't believe there is any view from Club at the Legian, the W Bali has some of the most spectacular view in Bali (apart from the remote cliff side resorts). What I dont like about the W is the lack of Balinese influence in the design, you could be anywhere in the world ...
