Thanks for the report. Hopefully I can get the Mrs. to try Rim Lay if they are open in mid-October. But after a good case of the Bali Belly last year, the Mrs. made it clear she is looking to eat on the resort. (Thankfully there is a good low season package with F&B discount this year.)

One thing I want to point out is that LMKL low season = Similian Islands closed. I bring this up just because you write this in a "we were sad to find that the Islands were closed..." when, in fact, this is the low season/high season driver at the resort. My wife and I have a great low season package for mid-October. Try pricing that out on Nov 1 when the Islands open, and well, no villa for us.
