Just spent a week at the Padma. It is a great hotel in a top location as it is opposite the beach and good food and shops are within easy walking distance.
You would stay there if you wanted to lash out as it is expensive. We only ate breakfasts there, which were included in the price.
It cost us $300 per person more than our original choice of the Mecure at Kuta.
We stayed in superior rooms, but other people have suggested upgrading to the chalets as a better choice.
