Laguna Resort & Spa Nusa Dua

The hotel formerly known as the Sheraton underwent a US$7.5-million renovation and name change in 2006, though it's still managed by Starwood. Here, they call their type of luxury "indigenous" luxury. Every day features some type of cultural performance and the whole place has the feel of Indonesia's royal roots. And yet, the atmosphere of the Sheraton still lurks, though the rooms, once flower-fussy, have turned modern. The main draws remain the beachfront and the lagoonlike pool accessed directly by ladders from some of the ground-floor rooms. Large bathrooms are done in marble. Extra special treats include complimentary high tea with tableside dessert service and the midnight massage on offer in a beachfront bale after dinner. Peel me a grape, Gilbert.
