With this many traveling our recommendation is Sanur Paradise Plaza Suites. There are mixed reviews on this place, mainly due to the location. It is on the busy Sanur bypass road and not within easy walking distance to the beach. There is, however, a regular hotel shuttle bus that takes you there at no cost. It is also very easy to get Taxis, plus there is normally transport waiting out the front. Apart from the location, this place does represent good value for money. They have very large two and three bedroom apartments and once inside, the resort, you would not know you are on a busy road. It is very peaceful. The apartments have a basic kitchen, large open plan dining / living area, balcony, large bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are two pools. One more for kids, with water slide and supervised kids club, the other is separate and large and very nice. There is a small restaurant on site, with kid friendly food, although on our trip in April this year, we did not find this as good value as previous trips. You can also use the facilities up the road at the sister property - Paradise Plaza Hotel. There is a beach club area, near Bonsai Cafe, where you can use towels and sun lounges. We really like Sanur and even though we would rather be on the beach, the price of the suites, the size of the rooms and the two pool areas keep us going back. We have stayed there many times. We, like you, normally split our trip between Sanur and other locations.
Other options, in Sanur are some of the villas that are becoming quite popular, but I do not have any high recommendations. If you have any questions about the suites, please let us know.
