I just read on USA Today, about a 15 foot long Python that killed a security guard of a nearby restaurant, while he was trying to capture it. Very sad to hear.
The incident happened around 3am as the 4.5-meter-long python was slithering across a road near the Bali Hyatt hotel, said Agung Bawa, an assistant security manager at the hotel, which is closed for renovations until 2015.
The victim, Ambar Arianto Mulyo, was a 59-year-old security guard at a nearby restaurant.
He had offered to help capture the snake, which had apparently been spotted several times before near the hotel, located in Bali's Sanur area, Mr Bawa said.
Mulyo managed to secure the snake's head and tail and put it on his shoulders, but the python wrapped itself around his body and strangled him, said Bawa, who was present during the attack.

I think only Diamonds get breakfast in the club, or if you ask, you often get it in the restaurants, too. If I recall right, any suite booking gets club access, so you'd get it that way, too.

That's what I was thinking. I guess I'll just make a club room booking.

They're renovating too? I knew the Bali Hyatt was but wasn't aware the Grand Hyatt was too. Seems like a poor decision by Hyatt to renovate both of them at the same time.

Kind of like airlines removing planes from service, and then overhauling some of the ones left. Prices are likely to go up.

From memory, breakfast was under $20 nett. I ate at most, if not all breakfast places at the GH, and even at free for a diamond, I couldn't force myself to go everyday.

Thinking about staying here in a couple weeks for 4 nights. Diamond status and planning to use suite upgrade cert. Can someone tell me which "wing" is under renovation, and which have already been renovated? Also, is the club lounge and pool closed already? Thanks!

So is breakfast free at this place if one uses a DSU or do you have to fork out the 20 per person for brekkie?

As a Diamond in 2011, I asked for breakfasts in restaurants, with no problem.
