Some additional Info from my stay in April

Do you have any informatin about location and traveling outside of the hotel? ie: Were there taxis, buses, or shuttles near the hotel. Were there restaurants, shops, attractions outside of the hotel that were nearby (or that you could easily get to)?. I hate to be captive to to an hotel's own restaurants and shops... I like choices!
There are some taxis parked outside the gate - but Conrad will also call you one - all very easy.

There are no restaurants nearby - just some other hotels. However with the taxi option you can easily go anywhere. There is a shopping bus trolley circulating - do not know the schedule that takes you to the central shopping center - Galleria - which has some restaurants.

I did find though that the two restaurants offered a fair value for quality - same goes for room service - then as another poster said - wine is somewhat more steep - but again the same as for many countries with imported wine. Local wine is not to bad - certainly a differentleague than new or old world but for a beach setting OK. There are certainly old or new world wines closer to "Chateau Migraine"

Coming back to food alternatives - about 15 minutes by taxi and for about 2 -3 $ you get to Jimbaran Beach - and the fish warungs - just go to the four seasons one - and have a brulliant fish barbeque - feet in the sand and enjoy life - there are about 15 stalls all serving fresh fish ^ ^

I did not see the executive floor or lounge - but obviously that is clerified now through the other poster.

I can only again second the comment regarding the staff ^ ^

Cheers

Thomas
