The first time we went to Bali in 1984 we stayed there, it was just called Santrian then, we went back again in "86, the building code in Bali in those days were nothing higher than the surrounding palm trees, Bali Hyatt was at one end of Sanur & Bali beach hotel the other end, both 3 storeys high, my youngest son was then 6, he would go out onto the beach & play with the Bali kids for hours, would come back when he was hungry. We knew the names of nearly all the boat boys in those days ..... we then started to stay mostly in Ubud, it was really unique in those days, been there many, many time & we now go over to Candidasa or even Sideman, much less hectic than Sanur has become ....cheers
Older travellers like myself also feel safer in beach side resorts and we don't have to walk too far to other cafe's and restaurants We stayed at the Griya some years ago the room wasn't the best. Preferred the cousin Puri Santrian .

Seems a bit on the expensive side. What did you think?
Yes i think its well over priced, but in saying that i think most hotels are anywhere i stay?
