we too have stayed at the Besakih (2004) we had 3 rooms on top floor, close to pool. the rooms were large but in desperate need of reburb then and as you said the bathrooms Yuk (in one room the wiring was all exposed over the bathtub, in other room the shower rose actually fell off into friend' hand, & in the 3rd room (ours) the wardrobe was being eaten away by some sort of bug. howver if they do reburbish the place I would consider staying there again as you said the pool, food, service was pretty good. BUT in 2005 we stayed 2 hotels down at the Villa Shanti (next to Grya Santrian) and that was fabulous and less expensive than the Besakih. We have 3 rooms on the ground floor right next to the pool and restaurant. while there we went next door and they were rebuilding the Besakih Restaurant then so at least they had made a start on doing the place up.
