Ubud was the place to shop and check out the cultural arts. We paid 1.2 million rupiah a nite for a deluxe room with a buffet breakfast included. The staff was friendly and courteous. I did not see any downsides for this property. If you are a runner, run along the beach and you can check out all the other properties.
Food is expensive relative to anything outside the hotel.
The only odd item was the slippers they provided for the room, they were way too small. Yes the Nusa Dua area is isolated, but if that s what you are looking for, then its perfect. This was the unknown out of the hotels we booked in advance. Not many people stay in the Lovina area to begin with and I just went online and looked for a reasonable place. We settled on SL and we lucked out.
