Carol, I'm assuming that you are referring to the (newish) Raddison Hotel. If not, please ignore the following.
I have never stayed there, but have noticed it during my last two trips to Sanur. The hotel building itself is very impressive. The gardens are beautiful and it looks fabulous in the brochures... . . BUT it is a long way from the beach and is at the very 'top' of Sanur village. You will need to walk for 20 minutes to get into what Sanur is. It is a ten minute stroll to one of my favorite places: the Beach Market/Restaurant beside the Grand Bali Beach Hotel.
I'm sure that someone else will give further details, as these are only my own observations. We will be going back to Bali next March/April and will be staying at the Besakih which, in my opinion, is right in the middle of Sanur (and a great destination as well).
Do enjoy your trip, and we'll all look forward to your report upon your return.
Regards
