One of my tour guides had mentioned this. He said it's a cool experience for tourists but then proceeded to explain how everyone stays in doors and everything will be closed. Hotel staff have to stay at the hotel for the whole day but are given hotel rooms and then another two days off after the holiday. Actually sounds very inconvenient as a tourist and I'm not surprised they're telling you to rebook. You'll probably have to be confined to the hotel grounds for the day and enjoy the pool/gym/spa/restaurants.
I will be arriving to the hotel later today, does anybody know which the better ocean view regency suites?
- somewhere over Russia on Cathays A350-9 business class! Love it !!
edit .. beaches are off limits on Nyepi.. ugh!

Enjoy your stay and at least on the public holiday it should be nice and quiet as no works on Andaz should be permitted.

So is the consensus this property is worth it for 7k a night if it gives you club access as well? I'm looking to do my final night in Bali here in April since I just have enough points left over for this and then I would be flying out the next day.

Better off using the extra 1,000 to make it 8,000 in a regency suite which also comes with club access

Hmm interesting. I dunno if I can find another 1k points to use though before the price increase. Have like 7.2k. There are a number of variations of rooms and suites before getting to regency suite though so 8k seems like an insanely good deal.

buy 1,000 with points.com well worth the $24 or whatever it is for a $1000+ Night room, then ring to make your booking

The best flex rate most days is 476$ plus 21% for a Regency Suite outside of special periods. A good deal for sure, but not as good as the 1000$ indicated.
If I had 7k points and don't want to spend time calling and reserving and all that (not every CSR gets what you want) then just go with a Regency room for 7k and book before 18 Mar rate increase. Still nice and for one night perfectly fine. YMMV.

, Australian is $1000 a night with tax, Agree you wouldnt pay it thats what makes buying hyatt points for 40% bonus a good deal when it was category 1, Even cat 2 its still a good deal, it doesnt take long on the phone less than 5 minutes for my bookings,On another subject

Even with tax that still converts to around 800 AUD I think, but not important anyways. 
The noise is one thing others on this thread reported too so waiting for more updates in the next few weeks. Definitely an issue if too excessive. Oddly, on TripAdvisor no one mentions much about it. Can't all be bought reviews.
