Sanur Resort Watujimbar

The hotel itself is very good. It has a large and beautiful pool (open until dark), a lush green area, and excellent, varied breakfasts. It's located close to supermarkets and not far from Icon Mall. The pathways are paved, and there are cafes and souvenir shops nearby. But… There's no proper door for the bathroom; instead, there are semi-transparent doors for the toilet and shower. Essentially, even to change clothes, you have to hide in the toilet, which is inconvenient. There was a small sofa for the child, but no bedding or towels. We asked for them, and they were brought after a second request. Two staff members came and made the bed with four hands, even though we could have done it ourselves. The pool seemed clean, but the water appeared cloudy with an oily film on the surface, perhaps from sunscreen? It was like that in the evening and hadn't changed by the morning. There's a private beach area with sun loungers, and towels are provided for both the beach and the pool. Overall, the impression is very good, and we would return here if we knew the sea wasn't always so shallow. It was quite difficult to swim. The staff is very customer-oriented. They are accommodating and allow guests to store their luggage. Generally, hotel staff in Bali are friendly and diligent.

The surroundings are very convenient with many restaurants, spas, convenience stores, and ICON Bali all nearby. The staff are friendly, and the breakfast buffet is delicious. I especially liked the wide variety of breads. The room was also spotlessly clean, and I could relax in the jacuzzi with warm water. It was my first time in Sanur, and I've come to love it. I'd definitely like to come back again.

The room directly faced the pool. Room 8366 got absolutely no sun, but room 8352 was okay. Breakfast was good, with a wide variety of Indonesian and Western dishes. In the evenings, there was a buffet dinner with live music. It was super convenient to step out and find shops and restaurants. However, it was a bit of a walk to the beach unless you cut through the hotel across the street.

This hotel is primarily geared towards poolside relaxation. Although the beach isn't super far, it's not ideal for swimming. All the staff are friendly, and they even provide an extra towel if you need it. The bar is open, and waiters even serve guests in the furthest corners of the pool area. There's a fair exchange office in the lobby, and many supermarkets nearby. It was a super relaxing stay, thank you!

The pool is large and beautiful. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, so I'm looking forward to seeing the new and improved version. It was also great that I could walk to Icon Bali in less than 10 minutes. It would have been even better if it were right on the beach. I stayed here for one night before moving to a luxury hotel, as I was traveling solo and arrived late. For the price, it felt like good value for money. The room was a bit dark and dated, but it was very clean. I appreciated having an on-demand TV where I could watch YouTube, etc. The staff were friendly; the porter, in particular, was very cheerful and made me feel at ease. I'd like to visit again next year.

Pros: spacious room and comfortable bed, excellent breakfast and pool. Cons: the room is run down, noisy air conditioning, a constant puddle in the shower, and no proper door for the toilet.
