They have no printed evening menu, there is always a cocktail of the day, e.g. tropical Martini, but they will make most cocktails (Mojitos etc.). Several wine choices and beer are also available. The buffet consists of cold meats, cheese, salads, small bites, cakes and a staff member comes around with two choices of warm canapés.

That sounds great! Pool access room stay followed by 1BR suite booked. Thank you, gilbertaue!

I just returned from a great 3 nights stay at this property. I had booked the lowest room category but was upgraded to the plunge pool room upon check-in. I am not going to go into details about the great service and amenities, which others have already praised well enough. E.g. the club/lounge, which is fantastic - I would return for it alone. It should suffice to say that we spent almost the entire 3 days on the premises.

While we were initially excited about the private pool, this wore off quickly. We found there isn't really much you can use that pool for. As it is tiny, swimming is out of the question. Also the water temperature is quite a bit lower than in the common pools so we didn't feel comfortable soaking in it for a longer period of time. There was also no view to speak of from the room or pool. Next time I'll try to get a pool access or ocean view room.

Have read the thread twice; lots of talk about room upgrades but just wanted to clarify as an Accor Platinum do you get complimentary breakfast and access to the lounge (i.e. breakfast in lounge)?

Yes

Last May I booked a private swimming pool room and was upgraded to an access pool room,

I probably should have book the basic room only, they made it sound like I would have get the same upgrade anyway,

The room was pretty big, some other hotel in Europe would call that a Junior Suite,

Has anyone stayed at both Sofitel and Conrad Bali ?
I would be grateful if one could compare both properties.

I just posted my review of Sofitel Bali. You can read it here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/26229643-post88.html

Thanks. It was wonderful to be upgraded to a villa

I think wkndtraveler is deserving a trophy for the best upgrade ever received : 8 levels upgrade ^

KATERGOO

Indeed ^^^^

Never happened to me
Was happy with one level upgrade last year though

wkndtraveler

Haha, thanks. Sometimes it's good that things doesn't go as planned. I was pleasantly surprised about the upgrade offer.

I once received the royal suite after booking an entry level room in a Pullman, and also got upgraded to the next property another time, but I think this one takes the cake. ^

Upgraded to one villa last summer after booking a prepaid suite (platinum member). A must.^
