I'm staying 5 nights at the Conrad Bali for sure. I was going to stay an additional 2 nights at the Hilton Bali, Sofitel Nusa Dua, or the Melia Bali. The benefit of the Hilton Bali is that I'm a Diamond member. So the VIP amenities/offerings is included without paying extra...
Mainly because the "executive" rooms had only an impressive view going for them: apart from that, they were cheaply furnished and not so well equipped. Diamond benefits were not great. The lounge serves a a sparse, grim selection of canapes in the evening, and didn't open at all for breakfast. The general buffet breakfast is splendid - if you go before it becomes a zoo.
The beach doesn't impress. and the pool complex, like the rest of the hotel, seems over-crowded.
Finally, the place is pretty much isolated. Fine if you want to be divorced from Bali.
