IAN-UK : Interesting, i didn't know IC Bali has a restaurant called "Pier 8" that serves breakfast.....
- Taman Gita is their main breakfast venue:

Another venue called Pier8 is on the east side (Sanur) of Bali

This seems part of the "new" IC Sanur (ex-Fairmont)

Who mentioned service standards at the new IC weren't yet remarkable and still lacking
So i think people are getting both the IC's mixed up......

My opinion: Take those advices with a smile.....
But on a different note:
Remember hotels have been focused on Indonesian domestic tourism for a while now which sets different standards.
(for example
- pork products only available behind the curtain
- no (adult)alcohol in visible sight
- at present due to most Indonesians adhering to Ramadan-fasting affects F&B availibility/schedule/timing)
I expect that the IC Bali wil return back to normal operating luxury western standards by this spring/summer as the island is opening up for international vacationers and will replace domestic tourists.
! Maybe MODS can change the thread title to from IC Bali to IC Bali Jimbaran bay?
( - to avoid confusion with the the new IC Bali Sanur as there are now 2 IC's)
Thank you!
