In Reply to: Sanur or Nusa dua better? posted by oal on Sunday, 27. February 2005 at 16:54 Bali Time:
with the Galleria closed, no there is very little shopping except for the market types. We stay in both Nusa Dua and Sanur each year.I'd say you would be better off in Sanur. There is only 1 large supermarket/dept. store. but plenty of market style shopping. We usually shop til we drop in Sanur and then take a day trip into Denpasar and go to Robinsons and Ramayana (big dept. stores) etc. (usually wait until we get a wet morning to do that). I'd say as far as the beaches go both are comparable, with the reef making it fairly safe for kids to paddle on the edge. Although personally I prefer to stick to the swimming pools myself and just use the beach for walking and sunbaking. We find now that Sanur complete the board walk along the beach and it runs for a couple of kilometres now. It is ideal. but if you can do like us, try a few days in each district. If you'd like any more info just ask.
