***I'm actually considering spending five nights there at the HGI what-all with the Hilton noise and Conrad potential issues.
I figure I'm going to have a driver taking me around most days to Ubud or Nusa Penida, etc., so what does it matter if I'm on the beach to sleep? I'd just be gone during lounge tea times and possibly breakfast, so...
Arg. I still want to get in a night at each, just to get the experience / make the call on which Conrad vs. Hilton is the better. I'll just have to extend my stay and try all three!

Villas do not have ocean views. We are going back soon and picked a non-villa ocean view room this time. Will definitely miss the Villa Lounge.

Just remember to add 21% in tax/service charges to the rate. I’d only redeem at .4 cpp or better. In fact, I’d stay at the airport HGI for 4-5k per night in points before spending 60k a night at this beachfront Hilton.

Trying to decide whether or not to stay at this hotel and looking for feedback. This property is pricing out much much better than the conrad for me for april. I have diamond status as well.I'm looking at mid april so that is near the end of the phase of their renovations. The phase ends 4/30, so I am thinking they probably will be doing mostly final touches, cleanup and walkthroughs. Should I avoid it? Is there any nightlife nearby or is the hotel isolated? Does diamond get much in the way of benefits here? I'll pay more for the conrad if I need to but its costing me about $60 more a night to stay there.

Trip to Bali is coming next summer and I have hard time choosing between these two:
-Hilton Pool Villa
-Conrad Suite king
They are pretty much the same price but in the pics Hilton`s Pool Villa looks so much better. We love to hang out in the sunbeds so is Hilton`s Villa pool and backyard open and sun is shining there all day?
I was in Conrad last year and absolutely loved it and the lounge in the villa area was amazing. How would you rate Conrad lounge to Hiltons Villa lounge?
Thank you!

Thanks for the reminder. I need to go back and redo the math on the point values to see what make sense.

I booked at a room at Hilton Bali at the Member Sale rate a week or two ago. Now I check and the rate is lower. I did a chat on their website and the person said they could cancel and book at the current rate but I would lose my money for the first booking. I was dumbfounded. What's the sense in saving $15 and losing $140!
Do you guys think I can somehow get this lower rate? It's no cancellation or changes, but I'm not really changing anything.
