Found this thread very helpful so adding another data point. Just checked in for a short stay as Ambassador. Booked normal Club room, upgraded to Club Duplex but turned it down as on my previous stay in September I did not like the two levels to the room. Ended up back in Club room and offered massage or a dinner as compensation. The funny thing is I thought I heard them say they had upgraded me to a Balinese suite when I checked in! 
So felt disappointed due to miscommunication (ah the things we worry about).
Considered pushing further for a suite but they are under no obligation to do so and it would seem churlish. Mind you, the rates are expensive right now ($450++ a night or so for Club room) which is pushing it relative to, say, Jimbaran Puri Bali. But I'm travelling on my own and will indulge heavily in the three-hour of free drinks at cocktail hour so...

If I book a Duplex, 1 King Bed Singaraja room and also become an Ambassador member, would the guaranteed upgrade get me in to a Club room? What room category would I have to book such that the guaranteed upgrade would get us in to a Club room/level? Stay is in late May '14.

The IC Bali is stingy -- they won't upgrade you from non-CLUB to CLUB, at least as an Ambassador. Best value, in my opinion, is therefore to either book Classic Standard and be upgraded to Singaraja Standard, or book Singaraja Standard and get Singaraja Duplex.

Just emailed the hotel about the RA upgrade...got this response:
"should you book our Singaraja Room or Singaraja Dulex Suite, you will get entitle complimentary upgrade to our Club Room or Resort Classic Suite"
I'd get a club room if i booked a standard so why would I book anything other than the cheapest standard?
What would you guys say is the best type of room to book for a RA upgrade for 2 nights?

I am planning to book the Club Int Duplex, it is 4 of us, but will we get a separate bedroom and what upgrade will we get as an Ambasaddor? I prefer 2 separate bedrooms.

don't forget once upgraded to ask for the comp transfers from airport
if you email and ask for 3rd floors I find that the best a you can leave the door open at night and also it seems the coolest room.
the 16 18 20 rooms are very large.

basically I can get a club room by booking a Resort Classic for $196
or a club Balinese suite by booking a club for $340
which should i do?

I normally book the bali suite and take the upgrade to uluwatu suite which is divine.
The bali suite is not a lot more than the club room.
Best uluwatu suite is ground floor right on club pool IMHO
The club is great and cocktails on the beach are just perfect.

Stayed in this suite the last time. Quite nice and I like the access to the pool from your front porch.
