A few observations:

Great value for money under 100 US dollars per night. Rooms very modern but on the compact side, suites not completed, but very modern and functional, same for the bathrooms.
Breakfast included for all with small cold buffet and hot items to,order from the menu.
We only ate once in the evening, however that was due to such low occupancy, we just felt a little isolated which was a shame as the food was excellent and not too expensive for a hotel.
Hotel provided complimentary transport every few hours to and from Ubud. Last return to hotel was 7.30pm so would be good if once occupancy increases they could add a later return shuttle as getting a cab after 10pm was challenging.
There were 2 pools both adequate for a swim plenty of sunloungers.

Common parts were modern Asian, very stylish.

Platinum treatment was good. We were upgraded to a river view (no suites ready yet) we took the 500 points as breakfast was included.

The staff were fantastic, very efficient and we felt as if we were coming home each time we returned.

Easy to access tourist sites from Ubud. Would recommend booking a car with driver around 50 US per day including petrol.

All in all a great place to spend a few days, maybe combine with a few days on the coast, currently at the Laguna Nusa Dua.

Any queries do email me.
Thanks for the tip on the driver. Were you able to book it directly through the hotel? And any additional info you can give us on form of payment - was it charged to your room or were you able to pay in U.S. dollars?
