for the first time in June of this year & have just booked for June next year. We couldn't believe the value for money this place offers! The staff are really just the nicest people you could meet, the property is modern and very well maintained and their prices for any extras (daytrips, drinks from the room fridge, food prepared on the premises, etc) are just ridiculously low. You just wouldn't bother looking around - you just ask & the staff are wonderful at organising everything for you. We just took one room for the 4 of us, but as we've since had another baby we'll be taking 2 rooms next year. For the 4 of us we had 2 queen beds, but it was a squeeze. It totally didn't worry us as we really only sleep in the room, it was our choice. The bathrooms are a good size, with a shower/bath combo and there's a good sized wardrobe outside the bathroom. I think everyone who goes here seems to become very good friends with the staff & the lovely owner, Barb, if she's around and then wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else in Sanur. The few people that we met there (it's a small place) were all return visitors. The rates also include airport transfers, local transport around Sanur, a cooked breakfast (whenever you get up - our eldest daughter went down and ate breakfast before we were up a couple of times), a cool drink on arrival, etc. It really is amazing value. Gede, the manager, is a delightful man and an excellent tour guide. He's honest and really friendly and has exceptional English. If you have any other questions just ask, I'd be happy to answer. Cheers, Sue.
