Have stayed at the Bali Garden. Found it OK. Good location but found it a little dowdy. Our bathroom had a terrible odour. Good breakfast but had to wait in a queue for your eggs.
Had a look at the Istana Rama previously and looked at the Cottages which I thought were gorgeous. This also is in a great location. We stayed at the Sahid Raya which was right next door in the deluxe poolside cottages which I loved and put much on a par with the Istana Rama.
