I highly recommend Sanur. My husband and I traveled to Bali just over a month ago for 3 weeks. We ended up staying in Sanur for 10 days of our trip, because we liked the atmosphere so much. We went to the Lazer bar in Sanur for a few drinks but not exactly a happenin' place. Out of all the hotels that we stayed in, we like the Inna Sindhu beach the best because it was right on the beach and you could bargain the price down to half. They didn't have the biggest pool though. Their free breakfast has a good variety, but I wouldn't go too late because the food starts to look less appetizing as the morning goes on. The lunch and dinner menus are good though. I would recommend what we did. We got a hotel for one night and walked down the beach and checked out a few rooms and prices. You seem to get the best deals by doing it this way...just bargain hard. It cost between 20,000 and 35,000 rupiah for a cab from Kuta to Sanur. Our least favorite place to stay was Kuta. It was way too busy, and you were always being harassed by vendors or people trying to get you to fill out surveys.
