It didn't bother us at all, but from our room we could sometimes hear frogs in the evening, and chickens in the morning. A light sleeper might mind (but the rooms on the opposite side of the path, where the bungalows are located, might not be within hearing distance of the chickens).

I rarely write feedback on hotels, but we had such a pleasant stay at the Peneeda Hotel that I am making an exception. It felt genuinely Balinese, lived-in and welcoming. It fit perfectly our main criteria, which were proximity to the beach, convenience, and character. *Location*: it's ideal. The airy restaurant/bar is open on one side towards one of the pools, and on the other side towards the promenade and beach. You can be sitting over breakfast in the gentle sea breeze, while watching a neighbour place a morning offering on the beach. The hotel is quiet and secluded, yet just a short walk away from the main street, a large supermarket and a good bookshop, as well as all the restaurants on the beach. *Convenience*: we had one of the family rooms, which was really two interconnecting rooms (and a bathroom) with a private entrance and a little patio area with a table and seats. It was a very good layout for a stay with young children (we had them sleep in the room at the back). We enjoyed the large bathroom with a indoor bath and an outdoor rain shower. *Character*: there is a lovely and peaceful atmosphere, and as a business run by a local family, it had in our view much more charm (while being much cheaper!) than the many impersonal 5* resorts along the beach. At the Peneeda, the large communal areas are furnished with taste, and include pieces of genuine traditional furniture of sculpted wood, like the two beautiful antique beds that have been converted into reading nooks. Our room was very nice and comfortable too, with wooden floors and furniture in the local style. Good beds, meticulous room-service. All the staff were very kind, full of little attentions towards to our children especially. We felt we had found exactly the hotel we were hoping for.

Bathrooms are tired (but are clean) Breakfast menu is a little small.

Great beachside location, beautiful traditional Balinese gardens and villas. Pools were all lovely and clean. Shared kitchen areas are a real difference if you’re wanting to prepare meals or use as a communal space.

Limited menu at the restaurant, however lots of good food options close by.

I loved the beautiful tree lined pathway winding through the rooms to the beach. Rooms were cleaned very well regularly. The restaurant makes pretty good coffees. The hot/cold water dispenser in the room is very handy, providing a constant supply of drinking water. Friendly staff.

A bit old and quite sad to never see anyone eating there : not attractive compared to the more modern restaurants next door

Well positioned on the beach

Stayed in February 2025

Some parts of the hotel are a little older and need an upgrade. This did not detract from our stay as the gardens are very established.

The bungalow was very roomy and clean. All the key amenities; air conditioner, bathroom/ shower, television and lighting where top rate. The bed and pillows very comfortable. The large filtered water bottle was most appreciated.

Limited breakfast.

Fantastic location, facilities and staff. Lovely and quiet. Right on the beach. Room cleaning was great. Support for getting a driver to take on trip was perfect. We would recommend Agung who’s car was in good condition and drove with safety in mind. It was value for money.

Starting to look a little dated. Wifi was patchy.

Second time we have stayed here. The place is looking in need of a little TLC but it’s still a nice, quiet place.

Our room was right at the back of the property which meant a 5 minute walk to the beach. The upside of that was that we were close to the road for shopping, massages etc. The communal areas i.e. pools etc are showing some age, but we found that charming

Lovely gardens and pools. Very clean and comfortable room, which looked newly renovated. Excellent bed and shower. No road noise. Great value for money.

The room was very old and dusty and there was a pungent smell. Had to request for a change to another room

Love that the beach is just 500m away from the hotel

I have found sitting on our terrace or balcony a fan would be an improvement,also no soft drinks or beers or so in the fridge

I stayed here almost 23 years ago and clearly since covid it has changed a lot ,for example minimal staff and dinner no longer available at the restaurant. However ,what was available at breakfast was fine and the coffee making young man was excellent. Also the young man Ari who cleaned our room every day was lovely too ,. Our room was actually a cottage on its own in a small courtyard- so very private-pretty much all like that ,but they do have a few villas too We liked the location ,right on the beach ,but close to shops etc and only $3 taxi ride to new shopping mall -ICON - which is a huge bonus for Sanur . We spent a lot of time at the next door warung which is like a basic hut ,but the staff / family there were lovely too and meals were excellent/no Bali belly at all - that also did laundry by the kilo $6 - ready by 5 pm the ladies with the shops can be pushy at first but once you get to know them they are helpful and friendly- Norma and Anna - they will source anything if they can within reason . The sea there is wonderful and clear ,calm no surfers here but I loved it ,sand underfoot and no rubbish .there are pools at the resort but we just preferred swimming in the sea Sanur is a preferred destination if your not looking for crazy nightlife ,but still plenty of beach or street bars with live music .great for couples or families just looking to chill
