We spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool at this hotel in Sanur and in the outdoor pavilion, reading a book from the library or working out in the fitness centre.

Staff were always available to help with planning day trips or doing laundry, making for a hassle-free experience.

However, we found the bathrooms to be a little bit outdated, and we’re hoping the hotel will renovate them soon. Everything was very clean though, just a little bit old fashioned.

Why you can trust my ratings of best hotels and villas with a private pool in Sanur

Hi, I’m Victoria – the author of this article and founder of Guide your Travel. I’ve been living in Bali off and on for several years now, and before that used to come here very frequently as a tourist. The island is now my home, and I spend a lot of time researching new places and things to do.

Hotels are my favourite, and reviewing them has become part of my job. I even publish detailed recommendation guides like this one on Uma Kalai, a beautiful boutique resort in Ubud, or Rama Homestay in Nusa Penida.

I make sure to try as many hotels as possible myself and only mention those I can personally recommend. With years of experience as a travel blogger and full-time traveller, I definitely know what to look out for when it comes to accommodation.

Plus, I’m now a managing partner of one of Bali’s leading digital marketing agencies in the hospitality sector, so I get a unique perspective on how hotels here attract clients and which ones truly provide value.

I’ve stayed at a lot of different hotels and villas with a private pool in and around Sanur, but going to every single one is, of course, not possible.
