Tandjung Sari

I chose this hotel because the location seemed ideal, close to Icon Bali, and the beach looked beautiful and not crowded. This all turned out to be true when we arrived. The hotel has a lovely driveway that leads to the reception, which has a stunning Balinese design. When we arrived, they struck a gong to welcome us as new guests, such a nice touch. Due to renovations, they gave us an upgrade halfway through our stay to a beautiful bungalow, which was truly fantastic. The room was excellent, and housekeeping was very thorough. The restaurant overlooks the boulevard and the beach, which we really enjoyed. For breakfast you can order à la carte and the food was delicious. The service was outstanding, with incredibly friendly staff who quickly got to know us by name. In the evening, we had the rijsttafel, with tables set up on the beach, an amazing setting. The rijsttafel was delicious, and we also really enjoyed the gado gado in the afternoon. The resort is beautifully laid out, set within lush gardens and full of Balinese details. We also loved spending time on the beach. When you arrive, a staff member brings towels and sets you up just the way you like. You can place a sign in your umbrella, and the restaurant staff will come over, top service! The loungers are spaced far apart, giving you plenty of privacy and making it feel very intimate. This resort is highly recommended, and we hope to return again very soon.

My annual review of Tandjung Sari, by far the most wonderful place to stay in lovely Sanur, and perhaps all of Bali. This is Bali as it was fifty years ago. It’s elegant, peaceful and epitomises barefoot luxury. The rooms, the restaurant and the beautiful beach are spacious and luxurious. I couldn’t single out a staff member for praise—they are all kind and attentive, and interesting people. breakfast, concerts and the vibe are perfection. Thank you all, you know who you are! We can’t wait to come back. Many thanks to Sang and Avi for presiding over this triumph of elegant traditional hospitality!

Stunning beachfront hotel. Beautiful large rooms with an enormous bath and outside shower, personal garden with loungers. Good sized pool. Very good food and a comprehensive breakfast menu. Thank you Annie who served us, very helpful and friendly. Wish we could have stayed longer
