I checked the room descriptions from the hotel's current website as not yet populated (no real descriptions, no pics, but room sizes) and used that to distinguish. Under IHG they now seem to split the entry level Deluxe room (40sqm IIRC) into regular and Garden View with the Garden version going for a few dollars more. Of the top level One Bedroom Suite Ocean View (100sqm) they only have two. In between sits the 1 King Suite Ocean View (50sqm, more like Jr. Suite size) which I booked for the time being. Let's see, just an option for now. Also waiting if the Regent in Canggu is happening by Jul 2024.
Ohh and for the eternally delayed Kimpton Naranta Bali, it is now showing no rooms available before
31 December 2024.
I would say this one will never join. Maybe the owner is looking to go independent or sign up with another chain that may offer better terms or so. YMMV.
I stayed at Rumah Luwih last month in a Garden Room (marketed by the hotel as their Junior Suite). The property itself looks nice in terms of design and they are already renovating much of the hotel during my stay. The location is in the middle of nowhere though and the service can be much much improved.
