We're about to leave for Bali and spend four nights at the Grand Hyatt (four more after that in Ubud). Any advice on what the dress code is like here? We're so used to Hawaii, where flipflops are acceptable anywhere... but realize other cultures have different standards. Should we plan long pants/dresses and close-toed shoes for dinners?
Thanks for any advice!

Flip flops are fine including in the club. Swimwear is not ok especially if wet (pet hate)

Anyone on a recent stay pass by the location where they are building the Andaz? Curious to know how that is going. I am planning a trip and looking to stay at the GH, but would love to check out the Andaz if that will be open in time. Doubt it though.
What's the average amount of nights one would recommend? Would 1 week be too long for a stay at the GH?

Grand Hyatt Bali
I am planning to book the Club King Room at this property. I'm getting a rate of USD$780 through OTA. So when it says Club room that should include club access correct? This rate is $200 cheaper than what the hyatt's website is charging. Also whats the difference if you book the club room. Do you still have to book with breakfast, shouldn't club room's give you breakfast?

A club room should include club access, but when booking it should give you the details.

It's actually the price for 3 nights all taxes included. So it gives me an option, Club Room 1 King Bed or Club Room 1 King Bed with Bfast(for US$20 more)

When I stayed at the property 5 years ago, as a Diamond, I asked one of the managers about breakfast, and was allowed to eat at any of the restaurants in addition to the lounge.
If you are Diamond now, I don't know why you are even booking a club room. DSU's are usually easy here.

Don't forget to try the BRG.

I am a Hyatt Gold, which probably does not mean anything.

If you have stays on your Hilton account, you might try contacting Hyatt back for a Diamond match. Suite upgrades, extra points, late checkouts are among just some of the great benefits.
The Conrad is decent in Nusa Dua as a Hilton Diamond. We stayed there for our Anniversary in December.

Just remember that the Taxi drivers in Bali have beaten up a number of Uber drivers. So, if the driver is hesitant to pick you up, you might walk across the street. Don't mention Uber when entering the vehicle if other folks are about.

We currently have a res for the base level DSU suite for an upcoming May stay.
Does anyone know whether there is a benefit of booking the hotel transfer from DPS to Grand Hyatt Bali? Other than convenience, do they help with expedited immigration??
