We agree, that for value for money, ifyou want an appartment - Paradise plaza SUites are great. We have stayed there quite a few times.
I wouldn't necessarily agree that the beach is that great for swimming, especially unappealing at low tide, but it has been restored recently and has agreat cosmopolitan / boutique atmosphere with some great seaside restaurants.
We have stayed in the three bedroom suites a few times. They are large, have sattelite tv, balcony, kitchen and two bathrooms. The lounge is hugue with open dining area.
The food at this hotel is very cheap - especially if you buy the 50% off passport, which gives you 50% off all meals, including room service. Whilst there are some BASIC cooking facilities - it is so cheap just to order to your room - we never used it. The mini mart on site is expensive, but supermarket in main Sanur area not far away.
There are two great pools. One ideal for the kids, the other adults. There is a water slide and supervised kids club and play area.
The down side is the location on the busy by pass road, although we never found it a major issue. Transport is easy from the hotel gate in taxi or via the shuttle, beach area only a few minutes away.
The staff at the hotel are really friendly.
If you have any queries let us know.
We usually split our stay and have the final week in Kuta.
