How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

Tbh, I feel like in most Accor hotels the priority counter is a joke.

I’ve really only consistently had “priority” in properties with an EL where they check you in there.

That's how I've felt any every hotel for every brand. The only time it has ever worked was the Cosmopolitan in Vegas when it was part of Marriott. You had the typical Vegas mile long check-in lines. Still a decent line for the priority one, but was still a win.

Wanted to try this hotel because it was meant to have an executive lounge but I must have missed the memo because I don't think it exists anymore. I certainly couldn't find any mention of it.

Otherwise nice enough hotel, probably only good if you want to be based in Sanur, has a nice beachfront area with tables.

Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast buffet selection was good but I didn't have much time to check it all out.

: Definitely. Better if you need are leaving soon.

Won't say too much since this one has popped up a few times but lately but such a nice hotel considering everything.

I was greeted by the manager as I was checking in which was lovely. Upgraded to the suite as well which was a wonderful room.

Breakfast, rooftop and executive lounge are all quite lovely. The lounge runs from midday to 9:30am, hot food starts 5:30-6pm. It's not quite dinner food but certainly quite snacky if that's required.

Despite the slightly more annoying access as mentioned before, I was just using a bunch of airport discounts on grab to counter the extra fee so I really didn't mind. Definitely would stay again and possible a while trip if it was less than a week, unless you prefer to be in the hotspots!1000020802.jpg1000020803.jpg1000020804.jpg1000020808.jpg1000020812.jpg1000020814.jpg
