Hilarious ... beats the 2 Four Seasons in Bali, for example. This really shows the value of these polls.
The Sydney FS is a fine hotel, just not the very best in Sydney and not as good as most other FS properties (in my experience).
I don't quite understand how the FS Sydney beats the two FS properties in Bali. First of all, the Sydney property is ranked in a different category from the Bali properties, Pacific hotels and Asian resorts, respectively.
Second, if by "beat" you mean by score, the two Bali properties actually score higher (95.8 for Jimbaran Bay and 93.3 for Sayan) than the Sydney property (92.3).
By the way, the two Bali properties were ranked #1 and #2 in their category and I assume deservedly so.
