Agree. Our first trip here was back in 96 and I’m not sure if we need to go back in another 28 years. It was as beautiful as we remembered nevertheless. We did ok with value on our trip, $600 per nights via points and confirmed into a standard suite with extra space.
If we want to burn another 210K points, I would probably book 3 rooms at Grand Hyatt Bali for the similar garden/pool/resort vibe with points leftover and invite 2 other couples to join us and have them pay for our airfare.
