Bali needs no introduction. It’s a world-famous travel destination and people would just flock to areas like Kuta, Ubud and Canggu. Although Sanur is not usually where the young, hip, and trendy would consider as their first choice, the place is for those who are looking for something laidback and chilled.
There are many hotels, BnB, and resorts in Sanur but where does one go for an affordable yet cozy and comfortable lodging surrounded by the ambiance of Bali? You might want to take a peek at 1O1 Bali Sanur Hotel.
Here are three reasons why.
Eat.
Bali cuisine on the spread. What’s not to love? You will be spoiled with an array of choices consisting authentic Bali food for breakfast at Terrace Sanur. It’s a buffet spread from traditional savory to street food like Nasi Jinggo. There are also Western food choices if that’s your mood for that day. Other than the buffet spread they also serve ala carte the whole day. Speaking about mood, as you enjoy your breakfast you will be serenaded by traditional gamelan performance. Take a glance upward and you will witness colorful umbrellas decorated above your head. I’d say that’s a feel-good way to start the day.
Sleep.
You can either sleep in your room or take a short nap at the pool. It’s your choice. But let’s talk about the room. Simple, minimal interior decoration with a hint of Balinese theme. The room is quite spacious, clean not too extravagant, basic yet comfy. The kind of room that enables you to lay your head on the pillow, rest, and go to deep sleep. Although the hotel can be said smacked in the center of Sanur, once you are in the hotel it is quiet and peaceful. The pool can be seen from the balcony of each room. Not suggesting that you jump off the balcony but if you feel like lounging and soaking in that sun it is quite close to each room.
Wander
Location, location, location! Is the hotel at a strategic location? 5 minutes walk to the beach, right in front of Sanur’s main road, shops, restaurants, and cafes along the street. That’s my answer. If you’re done wandering around the hotel, wandering around Sanur would be convenient as it is close to everything in Sanur. You can either walk or rent a bicycle or a motorcycle. For first-time travelers going to Sanur I would suggest walking other than it’s good for your health you can also take your time walking to the nooks and crannies of Sanur’s streets.
If you feel you want to make a stop at Sanur when you are in Bali, make sure The 101 Bali Oasis Sanur is on your list to stay so you can eat, sleep and wander freely while making your Bali adventure a memorable one.
