We changed to this hotel after a week in the hustle and bustle of Seminyak and Legian,wanted to have some down time and relaxation ....we got a good deal and took the plunge even though reviews were less than generous.....
All I have to say is ...she's a grand old girl ...the days of old style decadence still evident in the over the top foyer in its sheer size and melodrama ....... ,gardens to die for , beach and restaurants on the beach...the old girl is actually very charming even in her faults and 1950s quirkiness .....
Wi fi great ....all over ...except for the occasional stop..we survived
I saw a young lady comment that the pool was unswimmable and filthy because if a collection of moss on the pool rocks , I wondered if she understood anything about tropical environments and plant growth....the pool was crystal clear and divine in its own retro way ....and huge with lots of cosy pockets of shade under banyan treas and frangipani
I read of cockroaches,and filth,age and deterioration ,dissapoinment and horror ......well pffft we paid a very reasonable price,,,,,bathrooms had been renovated ,rooms were perfectly clean and cockroaches were obviously off duty ,we stayed in the deluxe cottages an ours was 20 metres from the sand ....glorious
If I wanted to be petty,spoilt and small minded I'm sure I could make a long list of complaints but the grand old lady of Sanur doesn't deserve that .... she's still paradise ...just with a few wrinkles
