Hey everyone. Got alot of info from this site before I left for Bali for the first time, and it helped greatly, so just returning the favour. Ron, your price guide was awsome!
We left Vancouver on the 2nd of February at 8 AM and started the long trek to Bali (17.5 hours in the air and 24 door to door) on Japan Airlines which were great.
My buddy and I arrived at midnight the following day, and were exhausted of course, but were met at the airport and had no problems with Visas or customs at all. We arrived in Sanur at the Sanur Beach Hotel shortly after, and were greeted with smiles, and taken to our room which we were very happy with. The rooms were clean and nice, and had a small balcony overlooking the garden. There was a mini bar and safe and like I said the room was clean and simple but not to simple.
The pool at the Sanur Beach Hotel was massive and this was just the one pool. The gym was very good and so was the cardio room. The restaurants on the premises were very nice, but obviously almost double the price as the outside ones. The staff were very friendly, especially the guy who cleaned our room (but all were fantastic).
I was hesitant to book here because my travel agent heard that it was not a 5 star as advertised (and it wasn't), but still an excellent 4 star. I would have no problems staying there again.........
