For the price paid, there are a lot of better options for both location and activity. Some of the villas on the neighbouring roads are cheaper and better.
Cons:
Maybe before the pandemic it would have been somewhat worth the price, as there are signs that the area was gentrifying, but post pandemic many of businesses are not back up, and they've shut the road to the beach so this is now basically the furthest possible hotel to the beach because of how the roads in Bali work (ie you basically have to go all the way back up the road and back down the next road that leads to the beach). This basically turned a 4 min walk into a 15-30 min potholey car/bike ride depending on which beach you want to go to.
That doesn't sound too exhausting... except we wanted to surf and the idea of having to get in a car wet and sandy every day was just not tenable.
Pros:
There's a great cafe next to the hotel though which everybody goes to, probably because it's the only cafe within walking distance.
Service was nice... helpful and smiley. The room was clean but the sheets have this damp texture that might be because of the humidity. Pool was super clean, no random leaves and insects floating in it which I appreciate, and the sun (when there's some) gets on the pool directly so it could be a good place to retreat to.
Note: Some of the recent reviews lamented about construction next door. When we were there it looked like the noisy construction was pretty much done, it was quite quiet.
