I have considered staying at Awarta but decided not to despite the hotel looking to be excellent and living up to its claim of "Best Boutique hotel in the World" ... I chose a private villa in Canggu instead (more expensive but more private and luxurious). Personally I find Nusa Dua too sterile, it is more like being in Hawaii than being in Bali, being a gated community cutoff from the rest of Bali. I like to live in the local community which is simply not possible at any of the 5* Nusa Dua resorts.
