- Check-in experience was slow but reception staff apologetic and we received a welcome drink, which was a nice touch.
- Rooms are well appointed, but because of tiled floors and thin walls/ceilings you can hear scraping of furniture by guests late at night and by cleaners early mornings. The road behind the hotel where our room was facing was noisy at night, with drivers revving and speeding - maybe install speed bumps to discourage this?
- Cleaners chatting loudly and shouting instructions to each other in the corridor and neighbouring rooms from 8 a.m. (during a weekend break, this is not ideal...)
- Pool areas very nice, clean and a good number of sunbeds with umbrellas and efficient towel service.
- Breakfast buffet good, with a good selection of hot and cold food, cheeses, fruits, juices and decent coffee. A shame it didn't extend slightly later at weekends. Dinner buffet had an excellent salad bar but was overall less impressive, with a limited number of vegetarian mains and overcooked seafood and meat dishes (my guess is much of the cooking was done from frozen given the texture). It was also a shame that "Botanic" didn't offer any vegetarian main courses, otherwise we would probably have tried that too. That said, the "Bali" restaurant was again excellent and well worth a visit.
- Check out after 11 a.m. (a little early given check in is from 3 p.m.) not possible due to the arrival of a large group, but we were able to store luggage and use the pool facilities.
