Bali Dynasty is getting a makeover. I love the Bali Dynasty, because I'm a sucker for a resort that offers you so much for so much less money than you'd expect. So I'm fairly happy that they've completed the upgrade they were undergoing when I was last there - with newly modernized rooms, refitted bathrooms, expanded windows, and more stuff.
