We were so happy with my stay at Tempekan Nyang Nyang that we came back and stayed a month at their sister property, Tempekan Heritage.
The main difference is that Heritage is built in a traditional way using bamboo and natural materials. There is no glass so the windows need to be closed when the AC is on, which means it is dark and you may need to turn on the lights. But there is a nice sitting area on the verandah for chilling anyway and it has charging points too.
The bathroom is large, outdoors, sunny and well ventilated, with lovely flowering plants so you feel like you are in a garden. It is a good design with the toilet covered so you won't get wet even if it rains. But beware of monkeys from the nearby forest stealing things (don't leave anything you mind losing outdoors).
The pool is a little far from the rooms and you need to go through the restaurant. But unlike the pool at Tempekan Nyang Nyang this pool receives full sun during the day and we spent a lot more time in this pool.
The premises are very clean and breezy with washing basins and handgel at all entrances, lots of space around and uncrowded although at times the hotel was fully occupied. It feels safe to be here during Covid. Many staff around if that is your kind of thing.

The gym has a treadmill, cycle trainer, free weights, and a weighing scale. A nice touch in between the pool sessions. There is no beach you can really walk to as the nearest beaches are all accessible via private hotels. The nearest beach is the one at Tebing Uluwatu, a 1.7km or 20min walk to the access point but you will need to climb down ladders and ropes, which not be suitable for all but the most adventurous.
There is a TV in the room with international channels. There is no in-room safe or bar fridge but you can request the staff to put items in their restaurant fridge (the resto is open til 9pm). Self service hot water available 24hrs. WiFi is strong and reliable (it is also a co-working space although I didn't see anyone other than hotel guests there during my stay). The AC did not cool down the room initially but once I discovered how the cold air was being blocked by the shutter used to conceal it in the wardrobe for design purposes it was a simple matter of propping the shutter open with the tissue box in the room and it was fine. I raised this issue to management and believe they will be addressing it. We also encountered some ant problems in our bathroom (they were eating the shampoo!) and a few ant nests in the cracks of the natural stone walls behind the toilet etc, but quite easily resolved by the responsive staff with a can of insect spray.
We have stayed at many hotels in Bali over the past 4 years and this hotel stands out for its cleanliness and professionalism.More
