Stayed there 3 years ago. Enjoyed very much...but...rooms in southern building small and run down. Northern block much better. As pinkduck stated gardens and pools excellent.
Go to beach side and 3 cafes within 2 minutes, road side maybe 20 restaurants within 10 minutes.
For moneychanger turn right out of SBH on road. Pass trophy bar and restaurant (?Manos or similar) then there is an alley with 8 - 10 shops. At entry to alley is a moneychanger who is the best I've encountered. Doesn't touch your cash till you have counted and accepted his count. Many have better rates but always try some rip off - eg last year was tried twice on me..rate was ~7800 so changed $100 should get 780,000 Rp. Changers tried 700,000 plus 8000 - rip 0ff 72000 or $9 of the $100. Also dodgy calculators, dropped notes etc.
