I've told this story before, but for you I'll tell it again. The first time my husband and I planned to come to Bali, our travel agent told us that we should stay in Sanur, as Sanur was for the "slightly older, slightly more affluent crowd". Pretentious prat! It is for the slightly older crowd (because it's quieter than Kuta), but definitely not for the affluent crowd, as you can get anything from 2* to 5* there. We stay in 3* (Griya Santrian) and think it's wonderful. There's lots of places to eat, and good shopping, and close enough to Kuta and Denpasar to take a trip over to check them out.
We had a look at Nusa Dua on one of our earlier trips, and thought it was a little too 5* and honeymooners!
Whatever you decide, have a wonderful time.
