the Melasti and a couple of hotels in Sanur and enjoyed them both.
Sanur tends to be a quieter area with mainly the older age group. There are plenty of markets and restaurants so it is not exactly isolated. I like Sanur mainly for the cleaner beach and the awesome view of the volcano, mainly in the early morning, which you cannot see from the Kuta side. We have stayed at the Besakih and also the Griya Santrian which are both fantastic and right on the beach.
We will be going back to the Santrian next July.
The Melasti in Legian is a great hotel and in an area that you may prefer if you are in the younger age group. Close to everything you will need but it is a bit of a walk to the Kuta area and a long walk to Kuta Square.
Don't stress over where you stay, why not try a few days in each?
Taxis are cheap enough to spend the day in whatever area you don't choose
Hope this helps
Enjoy your holiday
Cheers
