I would pick the W though it was still under construction when I saw it (few weeks before opening). Great location in terms of nearby restaurants/night life. But these are beach villas, yet you don't state that as a requirement. Much nicer imho are the villas by Ubud. See for example Hanging Gardens, which is quite nice and well priced (USD 500 per night, depending on your dates, for a view pool villa with great vistas). No beach and best not to leave the resort (no reason to). Lots of other choices, including the Amans and FS Sayan, or some stunning private villas if you don't need hotel services or want greater privacy (as I do).
