In Reply to: Hotel Sanur Beach posted by stormy on Thursday, 1. December 2005 at 21:38 Bali Time:
We are returning to the Sanur beach hotel for a week this december (have stayed there on two previous occasions a few years back and loved it). I had a look at their rooms in June this year and some of them have been upgraded with new fittings etc. The pool and swim-up bar and beach front is great, as are the onsite resturants and pubs. That said, it is close to numerous resturants, pubs shops etc in Sanur (we just wander up the beach path or up the main road and pick places that look interesting). Donalds (a little resturant on the beach right outside the hotel is wonderful and very reasonable).
The hotel breakfasts are the usual buffet variety and easily as good as I've had at any hotel in Bali or Lombok. You will find more European guests than at Kuta / Legian hotels which are packed with Ausies & Kiwis, but we still got on great with them. (We're from South Africa). The night life in Sanur is not comparable with Kuta, but there are stacks of pubs and beachside places with live music etc (its only 20minutes and 40K Rupia to Kuta if you really want a wild party).
Hope this helps.
