Puri Sindhu Mertha

We stayed for 10 days with our four kids and my wife. The room was really clean, and it felt like being at home.

A handy place to stay if you dive from Sanur beach. The location is convenient, and if you get a ground-floor room there’s plenty of room to dry your gear.

The people here are good, and I personally love the place. The pool is clean and cool, and the rooms are spacious compared with western hotels, though the pool and bathrooms there may be better. It’s good for what you pay, just don’t expect Ritz-level service.

I was here on a business trip and initially booked two nights. The mixed-rice breakfast on the first morning didn’t taste good, and on the second morning it never came to my room. I then booked three more nights and the hotel confirmed, but after a tiring day at work I arrived at midnight to find they had no rooms. That’s bad management. I turned down their replacement hotel because it was a cheaper, worse homestay.
