Hi Tony
Everybody has their own opinions as to whether it is best to stay at Sanur or Kuta side. Then if your choice is Kuta, which is best, Tuban (or South Kuta), Legion or Seminyak areas. All have their own good and bad points. A lot also depends upon your age.
My wife and I have preferred Tuban for a number of years now and specifically, the Santika Hotel which is on the beachfront. A little quieter than most with the highest garden/room ratio of all the hotels in the area. Wide choice of rooms, all good. Great staff, and with a good choice of eateries within walking distance.
If you do a search of the Archives for "Santika" you will see reports and comments from others.
You can also check Mics website for links, etc.
It's very much a personal choice.
Cheers
