Some further observations now that we have had breakfast:

There are lots of biting mosquitos here, so remember to use insect repellent. We did not do that at dinner last night and now our legs look quite spotted.
The breakfast is fully self-service including coffee. The staff only clears the tables. That said there was a good selection of local foods, egg station, etc. The only thing I found slightly limited was the selection of fruit juices, in comparison to other Bali properties.
As mentioned in the other thread on this property the suites are not completed yet. I ventured onto the seventh floor where these seem to be located. Here there is also a previously unmentioned glass platform extending out over the gardens. I could not get the best picture since it is raining, but this is not a walk for those with fear of heights!
The hotel also offers free bicycles on a first-come, first-served basis. I am not sure if I am brave enough to ride a bicycle around Ubud.
In the general hotel information there is a mention of a free reception event. This was not mentioned at check in. I inquired and it should be on a weekly basis, but it has yet to be implemented.
The in-room dining menu appears to be exactly the same menu as in the restaurant
