Got an e-mail from new Soori Bali two days ago explaining the change and adding a 3=2 offer until end of March 2017. I really love this property and Alila handled it very well.
I heard from an insider years ago that the relationship with the owner-architect wasn't easy as such characters and hotel management companies that run their properties often follow different interests and agendas (same situation at Hadahaa years ago??). But I can only speculate if this was the specific key point for the split now.
