The Pool at Spice Island Beach Resort

"Least expensive are the second-floor suites, each of which has a terrace overlooking the ocean and the garden; 17 units have private plunge pools, and four offer private saunas"

"Guest rooms are richly decorated with contemporary Balinese furniture; the marble-tiled bathrooms are enormous, with double-size whirlpool tubs"

"You'll sip your cocktail with a clear conscience, knowing that the property's water is solar-heated, the bulbs are energy-saving compact fluorescents, and the pool is treated with salt instead of chlorine"

"The nice pool area is quiet and private, yet the beach -- though beautiful and clean -- is shared by locals and guests of nearby resorts"
