I can't help with any in main beach Nusa Dua, I don't think there are any, but I have stayed further up the peninsula at the Novotel at Tanjung Benoa on the beachfront side of the road. I hear some variable reports these days, (mainly about the other side of the road), but is has lovely grounds and pools and the rooms we had were large and more than comfortable. As for larger hotels in Nusa Dua, the plus side with a bigger hotel like say the Grand Hyatt, Melia, Nusa Dua Beach, Ayodya, Conrad is the facilities. Huge pools ( I love to swim and not keep hitting walls!)and numerous restaurants. The Laguna is a smaller hotel and has amazing pools - quite expensive, but over and over again it gets the top place at tripadvisor. Good luck and do go even if it's only for a couple of days.
Sanur is gorgeous, I am also thinking of doing a few days there in July, at the moment tossing up between Griya and Puri Santrian (don't know the Respati ). However hubby is plugging for the Hyatt he rates loves it's gardens and pools.
Good luck
