IMHO; Sanur is a good spot. We stayed at Nesa Hotel. We've stayed at Palm Garden. So, look up Booking.com and scroll through the many choices for something appealing to you. Love Ubud and highly recommend Ubud City Hotel (strange name for a small establishment) which is very centrally located on Monkey Forest Road. So many eateries, so little time. Depending on your flight arrival time as to which area you'd visit first. We had our Sanur hotel transfer us to Ubud @ Rp.250,000 - you may do better bargaining with a driver on the street; maybe. There is a bus service which we have used in the past but decided life's too short. The drive gives a good overview of Balinese life. You could do a day trip from Sanur to Uluwatu. Personally I don't think you've enough time to visit the Gilis but, again, you could do a day trip from Sanur to Lembongan. We book accommodation direct. Good luck.
