Check-in area

This Four Points was a conversion from a previously independently managed hotel, retaining much of the original staff. The front desk agents were probably one of the warmest people I've encountered in the Four Points chain. I had emailed ahead to see if they could buy a local SIM card and it was handled without any issue.

In terms of Plat recognition, there wasn't much beyond standard Four Points level of service. I was accompanied to my room, given a "tour" and there was a welcome amenity (plate of chocolates and a letter from the GM) but I suspect it is standard SOP at this hotel.

Since it is December I decided to use the rest of my SNAs. Measuring at about 600sqft, it wasn't the most "value for money" upgrade, but the finishing and decor was surpringly well done and exceeded my expectations for a Four Points. The only real complaint was that were wasn't a working desk. Not pictured is the balcony that spans the length of the room. Every room has a balcony according to a staff member.

Breakfast was great. In addition to a pretty standard buffet there was an ala carte menu comprising of standard favorites like waffles, pancakes and in line with the season there was a Christmas twist to the items. The orange juice was not of freshly squeezed variety.

The pool is located down the stairs from the restaurant. There seems to be ample seating for guests. There are also rooms that directly open up into the pool.

Location

The only real downside to this place is its location. It is situated at the tail end of a dead end road in the Petitenget area of Seminyak which makes it highly inaccessible. There is a buggy service that makes its rounds to the popular areas (the W beach included), but it is a bit of a hassle and isn't on demand. Therefore I would look elsewhere if location is important to you.

Overall

The finishings for this property really exceeded expectations and is far beyond the usual basic Four Points you'd expect. The service from the staff members have been warm and friendly. They seem geniunely interested in the well being of the guests and making sure they are enjoying their stay. The layout of the hotel is a bit of a maze, but rooms were well appointed to maximize privacy. The hotel is also surrounded by rice fields which make for a nice view but attracts mosquitos (keep your windows shut). There are only 4 levels (they skipped the number 4 as is the norm in this region) with The Best Brew on the 5th (6th) level roof, so it isn't a tall building but offers nice views since there aren't any other buildings in the vicinity.

It breaks my heart to say this but I probably would not return with the location being the dealbreaker.
