Hi Chris
if you havent been to Sanur before you will love it. Not like Kuta at all, people dont hound you, traffic is very minimal.
We had superior rooms (i booked 2 rooms on the agoda website - bargain price) and they were interconnecting. They were in the 2 story blocks. we were lucky enough to get the ground floor.
The decor was clean and modern. One bathroom was more updated than the other, but very nice they are more of a european style bathroom.
There is free WIFI as well. we had rooms 148 & 149 about 30 seconds stroll to the pool. There is no swim up bar, but the pool is amazing, there are 2 pools. the main pool was closer to us and near it is a gym room, a gazebo style bar (you go up and order and they will bring it to you in the pool or at your sunlounge) plenty of sunlounges.
Not many australian people there, i noticed lots of europeans.
As we booked through agoda, and for such a cheap price breakfast wasnt inlcuded, but there are many places on the beach open for breakfast and very very cheap too.
If you havent booked breakfast they will give you a discount, its normally $15 pp they will do for $10 pp
there is a comfy departure lounge downstairs too, very well airconditioned.
There is also cable tv in the rooms too, which was great for us with kids.
they provide a decent range of toiletries.
As for laundry, its very expensive to get the hotel to do it, if you walk out the front of the hotel, you will see an asian resturant, well on the left and side is a sign offering laundry. they are sooo cheap 1500rp per peice of child clothing 2000rp per peice of adult clothing. they wash and iron it. smells sooo nice too. at the hotel for 1 shirt was $2.63US just to wash.
if you think of any questions please let me know, i will leave email open for you (just remove no_spam at the beginning)
