Advantages: Confortable rooms, nice beach, pleasant people Disadvantages: Questionable maintenance, costly extras
Some time ago I had a big argument with Intercontinental; despite having stayed over 100 nights that year, they showed no interest in trying to resolve my complaint, so I promised myself that I would not stay in another Intercon again. At least, not if I was paying. So far I have kept that promise - even with this stay, which was paid for by Priority Club reward points.
BookingL
I booked online; when I booked, only a twin room was available while I wanted a double. I booked anyway, requesting an extra bed for our son and an airport pick up as we were arriving in the evening, and resolved to call closer to the arrival time to ask for a double bed instead. Of course, I forgot all about it, even a week before our arrival date when I got an email from the concierge, with a simple guide to activities in the hotel and around Bali. I even ...
Advantages: Some great mini-games that really show off the MotionPlus accessory Disadvantages: Expensive to fully kit out two remotes. One or two less compelling mini-games

Advantages: Helpful staff, lovely bedrooms, mini-bus service into the centre Disadvantages: Not much in the local area, expensive, facilities not the best
(which had a view of the Acropolis) was marble effect floor rather than carpet, and had a sofa, glass coffee table with a couple of glossy Greek tourism magazines, and a writing desk and chair. There was also a kettle with Lipton teabags and Nescafe coffee sticks. There was air-conditioning but even on full blast it was still quite warm. On opening the window the room became a bit noisy. At least the blackout curtains kept the room darkened.
The Bathroom:
Very clean, but showing it's age a bit. There was a white fluffy bathrobe and slippers, which is always a plus point, bathroom scale (not so good!) and lovely Korres toiletries and a hygiene kit containing face pads, cotton buds and a mini sewing kit. It's nice to see that the Inter-Continental is using a natural, Greek brand. This consisted of Aloe and Soapwort shampoo, Achillea ...
