Currently at the resort. Upgrade was to an Ocean View Room as hotel is full. Breakfast in main restaurant was a mess so tomorrow it’s going to be Rın.
What gets me is that there is a guy drilling with an electric drill edging of the decking at the suites pool with guests in the water!!

Main pool is still open but work going on behind it so not exactly quiet..

Where did you ascertain that information? I was written by the hotel and was explicitly told this was not the case. The suites pool was still only going to be available for suites/villas guests.

I just booked a few nights at the Conrad Bali for October and I noticed that there were 'Premier deluxe' rooms available, according to the website 'NEWLY RENOVATED' . No photos yet though...

I was in the Conrad on 25-27th of March. Originally booked the basic twin room. During checkin, the agent was surprised to learn that I was a diamond, not a silver (which I was at the time of booking, but then became diamond). I was told that due to hotel being full, I won't be able to get an upgrade. I checked availability a few hours beforehand, and there were quite a few twin Conrad suites still available, but I was told I'd need to pay extra to get upgraded to those. Eventually I was offered staying in the originally booked room for the first night, and then get an upgraded to a Resort Ocean Suite - although that was King, not twin which was a minor inconvenience. Both rooms were great.
The renovations don't seem inconvenient. A portion of the lagoon pool is blocked off (roughly near the south wing of the main building), but the rest is enough. The hotel did not seem crowded at all - maybe 15% of deck chairs were in use, and never seen more than 20 people in total in all pools. As ExpatSomchai pointed out, Rin is a much calmer place to have breakfast than the main restaurant, although the buffet options are far more limited in Rin.
I also stayed in the Hilton Bali Resort for 1 night. It's quite hard to compare the two; Hilton definitely wins in terms of setting - the cliffside location is great, and the beach is actually nice (unlike the one in Conrad which might be the most boring looking beach I've seen in my life). Also, the hotel seems more 'fun' - the pool area wasn't completely deserted like in the Conrad, and chilling by the pools was actually more enjoyable, not to mention it has an outdoor hot tub and a waterslide (which I still enjoyed very much despite being in my 30s!). However, the rooms look really bad, and the furniture appears to be 15 years old at least. Also, the renovations are far more annoying.

There is no hotel shuttle and the only option for breakfast is the RIN, unless you opt for the main building.
You can charge to your room as any other hotel .
As for benefits, you ought to get an upgrade. What level clearly varies
Amex is accepted at every Hilton property that I know of

Hotel does offer transfers. Just contact them or be at the mercy of the airport taxi mafia. I took an Uber from the hotel to the airport and it cost 61000 inc toll. Uber will cease operation in Indonesia shortly as has been taken over

I would recommend Bluebird for any taxis in Bali - there is an app which you can use. Not expensive and far cheaper than the hotel would charge.

"Member Resorts Sale" Deal Benefits?
I booked 3 nights using the "Member Resorts Sale" Deal for 4/22-4/25. Now I can't find the benefits that includes other than the hotel room being 30% cheaper. Does it not also include the 15% discount on spa and food? Anyone has any idea on the full range of benefits of this package?
