Hi,
It's a 5-star, timeshare resort in Tanjung Benoa. It's a member of the Interval Exchange Network. We looked at a number of them last April and ended up choosing the Peninsula (PBR). It left the 4-star(?) we were staying in for dead. The rooms are awesome, the pool and grounds are great. It doesn't have a vast array of recreational facilities, but it's very close to all the water sports and is within reach of everything else.
Wer're going in April for two weeks...including the free week we won when we filled out the survey (which I suspect everyone wins). They were kind enough to let me book accomodation for a family of friends who are travelling with us, at very competetive rates.
There have been varying opinions on timeshare in the forum over the last few years. The upshot being, those who have timeshare and use them regularly, wouldn't give them up. Other than that, you hear a lot of speculation and second-hand stories.
AN important thing to remember if you're looking at a timeshare...EVERYTHING IN BALI IS NEGOTIABLE!!
PM me if you have any other questions.
Cheers.
