Old style Balinese hotel, well maintained. Staff are super friendly and helpful and any requests actioned immediately. Beautiful beach, comfy sun loungers. A peaceful and tranquil hotel right in the centre of north Sanur. Would definitely choose this hotel again without doubt.

I only stayed a short time, arriving very late at night and leaving the next morning. However, I could not have been more impressed with my short stay.
The late night arrangements were simple and a very nice night porter met me.
The room was so gorgeous as was the outdoor shower, toiletries provided and outside space. They were so thoughtful with anti mozzie measures.

New hotel with high quality rooms - lots of space and beds and towels especially luxurious. Perhaps could have chairs on the balcony to also enjoy that space. Helpful and friendly staff plus the French manager is also present and she shows genuine interest in your experiences at the hotel. Central location in Sanur - close to beach, plus a range of restaurants and bars.We also borrowed bikes from the hotel (free of charge) - a great way to see the whole length of Sanur along the beachside path....

My wife and I had a fantastic holiday and celebrated our wedding anniversary in style.
The setting and villa were perfect, staff friendly and always ready to help. The food was superb especially for my wife as she is a vegetarian.
Well away from the main tourist area but easily accessible when required by use of the hotel driver.
We loved it.

Great location within easy access to the airport. Easy check-in. Clean and spacious room. Good air-con. Clean and well-presented throw-out our stay. The food was excellent. The staff were incredibly helpful and courteous. The quiet adults only pool was lovely and peaceful and we were well looked after by their team of staff. The additional activities were well explained. The check-out was easy. In all it was a lovely stay at the Meru. We will recommend this to our friends. Thanks to all.

Absolutely amazing place -- so much more than expected. Staff were extremely friendly and service was second to none (bringing breakfast to the room etc, and it was delicious). The villa was huge, as was the pool, and absolutely beautifully done. nothing quite like waking up with a pool at the end of your bed in the sunshine ! The hotel's shuttle/free taxi to Sanur was great, available whenever needed and unlike some hotels it ran until 11pm giving plenty of time to have dinner and drinks out.

But the reality is actually better. Staff are vigilant and yet not intrusive, often offering free ginger water while we lazed by the pool.

The location of this hotel is fantastic,away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud and Kuta. Most places to visit eg Ubud, Kuta Beach, monkey forest were about 1 hour away.
Hospitality at the hotel was superb and the range of food offered at the hotel restaurants is varied. There is wide range of options for breakfast however quite limited for vegetarians with the hot food selection.
The hotel staff couldn’t do enough to make you feel welcome. Daily fruit and fresh snacks delivered to your room...

The city of Denpasar is the capital and administrative centre of Bali. It is located in the southern reaches of the island, close to some of the more renowned tourist hotspots like the golden beach attractions of Sanur. Even though it is somewhat overshadowed by resort towns like Kuta and Seminyak, there are still plenty of interesting things to see and do while holidaying in the capital.
Don’t Miss
There are numerous beaches just a stone’s throw from the heart of Denpasar. Southern Bali is just a short drive from the city, making it easy to reach some fantastic beaches. Visitors can rent a surfboard and try their hand at riding the waves, or simply just laze upon the beach and enjoy the rays.
Denpasar has a range of beautiful temples that dot the city. One of the most historic temples in the city is Pura Maospahit, which was first built in the 14th century. The royal temples of Satria Palace are also worth experiencing. The intricate carvings and onsite relics are breath-taking.
Each year, Bali hosts some of Indonesia’s most famous festivals, and many are held within or near the capital city. The Sanur Village festival has grown in stature over the past few years, and the month-long Bali Art Festival cannot be missed either. At the end of each year, the DenFest is Denpasar’s major annual event.
Restaurants and Bars
There aren’t too many places in Indonesia that have a more diverse cuisine than Denpasar. Thanks to Bali’s trans-migration policies, plenty of different Indonesian cultures exist within Denpasar. Everything from cheap Chinese seafood through to traditional Gillmanuk village dishes can be found. Denpasar is a great place for a few beverages after dark too. Many different nightclubs and bars offer live music most nights of the week.
Shopping
Denpasar has one of the best shopping cultures in Bali. There are several shopping malls, including the clothing complex Ramayana. The Bandung Central Market is the best place to find local spices and local handicrafts. Jalan Sulawesi is home to an excellent range of gold vendors who offer gold at very competitive prices.
