Glad to hear you had a good time and looking forward to your JBR. Only ever stayed in 3 hotels in Seminyak. Intan Bali years ago, now closed for renovations and doesn't draw me back anyhow. Another place which didn't click with me at all, but I won't mention the name [not well known at all] as I don't want to criticise for perhaps no adequate reason. And Bali Ayu last August.
After we found the Legong Keraton at Berawa [bit further up from Seminyak] by walking in off the beach and immediately feeling entranced, we stayed there every time we were in that area. Had a look in August. It was closed for extensive renovations and is now under new ownership. Will probably be worth a look, but will not be the same for me for various reasons.
Last August stayed at Bali Ayu. I have nothing but good to say about this budget hotel, but am not drawn back. Had a look at Bali Mystique whilst we were in that area and was impressed. Will probably include a few days there next time.
