St. Regis Bali Question-Pool suite vs regular suite
I will be staying at the St Regis in Bali over New Years using SPG points. I could book a pool suite or regular suite. I have stayed at luxury properties where had a villa with plunge pool that I rarely, if ever, used. Tend to prefer the larger pool accessible to all guests and/or the beach. I have read reviews of this property which indicated that the non-pool suite is the same size and has the same interior when compared to the pool suite (despite the fact that on the hotel's website they make it sound like the pool suite is larger inside) . Are there any specific advantages to having a pool suite at this property that I should factor into my decision? TIA

There is an extensive, recent St Regis Bali resort thread in the SPG forum, where folks should know about more about this issue. So I am sending this thread there.

pool suite - plunge pool but also garden on ground floor
101 is closest to spa and seems larger, 128/129 closer to main pool
at least some of them have 'doors' at the back of garden
seems all are overlooked by regular suites above them
gardenia villa - larger pool
lagoon villa - step out of villa into main hotel pool, plus private pool
strand villa - beachfront with pool (only beachfront option)
