WOW! Such a nice resort. Despite being a Courtyard branded Marriott hotel, this resort is very nice and luxurious. Staff is extremely polite and friendly, attentive to all needs. The rooms are very nice, with some overlooking the pool. Bed linens and towels were high quality. Housekeeping staff folded cute towel animals.

The hotel pool is very large and suitable for families with children and other adult travelers. There is a pool bar with happy hour specials, and massage attendants available to cater to guest's desires.

The hotel restaurant is a nice convenience but expensive compared to outside local Thai restaurants. However, the included breakfast buffet in the morning is probably one of the better spreads I've ever encountered. There is a made to order noodle bar, omelet station, bacon (pork and turkey options), sausages, fresh juices (orange, apple, watermelon etc), salad bar, cheese bar, deli meats, donuts, muffins, breads, vegetarian Indian curries, local foods -- too many delicious treats to name!

The hotel is located within a tourist/hotel complex. The grounds are meticulously maintained and it is safe to walk around the compound. Within the compound, roughly 15 minute walk from the hotel is "Bali Collection", a tourist catered shopping center with seafood, grill, restaurants. These restaurants are also expensive. There is a supermarket in there which is a nice options for snacks or an ice cream. The hotel and the mall each offer their own free shuttle buses to Bali Collection that run on the hour. If you miss it, it's still walk-able.

I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

It is much cheaper to catch a taxi off the street to go to the airport. We caught a taxi from Bali Collection, stopped back to the Courtyard to pick up our suitcases at the found gate and onward to the airport and paid roughly 90,000 from the entire fare vs the expensive hotel shuttle fee.
