Is the Conrad beach comparable to the Hilton one? And how do both Hilton properties (in terms of beaches and surrounding eateries/conveniences) compare to the Laguna/Westin/Sofitel strip?
We're a couple looking at 4-5 nights in June. As Bonvoy Lifetime Plat, our last stay was at the Laguna and we liked that strip's proximity to the restos at the nearby arch/gateway to the Nusa Dua enclave. Bali beaches in general aren't fantastic, but that strip was generally clean of man-made garbage which I think is no small thing. I'd almost certainly be Diamond in 2023, so would like to try something different.
The other Hilton alternative to Bali that we're considering would be the Conrad Koh Samui, but that property has its own not inconsiderable limitations compared to its Bonvoy competitors.
