They should only hire lifeguards to make the magic black sand beach swimmable...
I totally agree, enjoyed my experience at Alila Villas Uluwatu very much. I guessed you have stay at Alila Soori previously? Do you have any trip report or photos to share?
I had a hard time deciding between these two!

Ah, I didn't know about Alila CEO. The only Alila property I've visited previously was back in Nov 2009, in Cha-Am. (no longer under Alila management now, the place is now known as Hotel de la Paix) Alila Cha-Am back then was fabulous, relatively new and stylish. Service on the whole was good, but not quite at the level of Uluwatu.
I do know that Alila would be opening a new resort at Bintan in 2014 :

Meanwhile,
hang on while I get ready the rest of the pictures! I'm not quite done yet! Still got a few other things to cover e.g spa, more food, etc.
