The characterization "local style hotel" is not true. The hotel is quite typical, there are separate elements of Balinese scenery. The territory is large, green, well-groomed. The beach is depressing with its appearance during a strong low tide. No one played on a perfectly leveled volleyball court with a perfectly stretched net. The strong noise from the refrigeration unit when the fountains are working is invisible, but in principle annoying. The hotel has a dive center with reasonable prices, but with elements of chaos and stupidity, but in general it will do. Two pools, one very large, even the path is stretched. A well-equipped fitness center with dumbbells and barbells, you can work out a serious program.
The number is absolutely standard being inside you will not understand in Bali, in Turkey or in Spain. clean. plumbing, air conditioning, refrigerator, furniture and safe are serviceable and in good condition.
The breakfast does not shine with variety, but you can eat your fill. True, on the third day it is difficult to find something that you did not eat yesterday / the day before yesterday. Coffee and tea are tasteless, Balinese - do not spare tea. Some entertainment events are held in the evenings, but I did not go to them.
The audience is diverse - many locals, Asians, Dutch Australians. The people are increasingly older, with the exception of some young couples. The Indonesian airline Garuda accommodates crews - in my opinion a sure sign that the hotel has a certain level, but in principle nothing special.
Conclusions. It makes no sense to stay at the Sanur Beach hotel, because it is not very cheap due to its location on the beach, but there is no beach-ocean buzz. As compensation, an excellent pool, sauna and fitness center are offered, but to swim in the pool you do not need to fly to the other end of the ball. To travel around the island, you can settle in some place simpler, but for a sunbathing, on the contrary, it’s cooler - which I did when I moved to Jimbaran after I completed a small program of trips and diving, which is actually happy. I will probably publish a big vacation report later in the blog.
