I surely hope you accidentally added an extra zero at the end as what you wrote is ~830 USD + 21% and not 83$.
If it's 100$ all in per night, personally I find it fair value for what it offers. Breakfast, afternoon tea and evening drinks are definitely better at IC Bali than HR Bali. The spirits and wine at HR Regency Club are bottom shelf usually - wine including sparkling is a local one which is not yet any good.
IC Club lounge is a classier afair for now. Only evening nibbles are weak as HadesNL already highlighted.

Agree re the wines. I enjoyed both the Soave and Pinot Noir. And given retail prices of wine in Bali, if you drink alcohol the UG price is a relative bargain even for light drinkers.
I disagree re the evening food offer. Portion size is small but quality is very high. It is perfect for our evening light meal after a decent lunch regime. The only down side is the 3 day rotation.
The mystery remains about what they seek to charge for Amb with Lounge Pass to use the Club pool. Some have reported that it is granted others say refused. But likewise early reports said full Club Lounge was also refused during the early days of The Lounge Pass credit.

Just as a data point - as a diamond ambassador I reserved a 7 day reward stay - wrote them an email and asked for room type after upgrade and whether they offer a buy-up into club intercontinental
Regular upgrade would be to a Classic Singaraja Space Access Garden View
For 990.000IDR + 21 VAT/night I could upgrade to a Premium Club Lounge Access Garden view Balcony
The upgrade price seems reasonable to get the club experience and club pool access according to most of the opinions above.

In addition to proper Club Lounge access with breakfast option, high tea and evening (small) snacks and drinks you should get a room in the Club Wing (6xxx) which is the last one / most recent one to complete refurbishment plus access to Club Pool etc.
Pretty decent package overall. Now during peak periods (Hair Raya, Jul / Aug, Christmas/ New Year's, etc.) they may not offer this or price may be higher, but at this price point I personally would be a "taker" of the offer especially if you stay with 2 adults.

I've already asked my kids to download all other remain episodes. Admittingly quite different from "Friends" but for sure Still Game is a great keepsake
Thanks again

This is the figure I was just quoted via email (a hundred bucks, all in). Quite tempting with the 15% off award redemptions running currently.
