Excellent located typical Balinese style small hotel in Sanur. Everything is already a little old and worn out, but this is far compensated by the spirit of Bali you will feel in this hotel. Wonderful friendly staff, large rooms with terrace, comfortable bed, huge bath tub (you can almost swim in it), quiet location but central located. I can highly recommend this hotel for guest which like the Balinese style of living to an affordable price.

My husband and I have stayed at Sativa for three times now and each time it has been a very pleasant experience. The hotel is quiet, well run with excellent staff who go out of their way to assist you in any way they can. The rooms are big and very clean and whilst I agree that the bathrooms are dated and could do with some updating this is not a problem. The upstairs rooms have large balconies overlooking the pool and garden and I noticed they were making improvements to the swim up bar. Breakfast offers the usual range of foods and the banana pancakes are delicious. I think Sativa offers good value for money and with the excellent service and friendly staff we keep coming back year after year.

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights in early December. Our upstairs room was HUGE with the highest ceiling I've ever seen. The room was very functional with comfy big bed, TV, writing desk, old bathroom but plenty of hot water to fill a huge stone bath, very old fridge but was working well, spacious sitting area and a balcony overlooking pool and staff quarters. Also air-condition worked very well and the room was ecceptionally clean. Only one thing missing was in-room safe but the reception has 24 hour service for this.
We used their bike for a day. They are in very good condition and came with a good lock. It only cost us RP 30,000 a day. We used all day and night back and forwards. We parked our bikes at the entrance of the hotel when we were not using.
Breakfast was okay, enjoyed eating next to the pool. The pool is big, clean and well maintained.
What this hotel stands out from others is thier customer service. I was so amazed to the ability of front office staff to respond to customer needs. They were always polite, patient, smiling all the time and willing to help. Also all other staff, cleaner, pool man etc were very helpful. I can feel that employees are proud of being their work place and helping customers.
Only one minor thing to mention is that their laundry is too expensive. I was ready to use their laundry service but when I saw the list they charge per piece by USD and compared to the street price, it is extraordinary. So I used the laundry service just outside the hotel which was good.
Majority of guests are western middle aged couple and some honeymooners. So the hotel is very quiet. It took us five minutes walk to the beach but that was not a problem for us. There are many restaurants near the hotel. Overall, we liked Sativa Sanur hotel very much!

it's a little difficult to find at the beginning, since it's not visible frm the main road. Once you get there, you'll se the Villas from Sativa, a very nice and peaceful hotel. Staff is really nice and helpful, all the villas are around the swimming pool. Rooms are VERY spacious, and aircon works fine. They should update the system lights in the room as well as TV sets. Bathroom comes with a huge bathtube, but in general they need updating since bathrooms do look a bit old. Nothing serious, but with bathrooms refurbished, the level of the hotel will increase a lot! The pool is very nice and quiet. Breakfast is cool, just near the pool as well. Wi-FI is not free, but it's qute cheap. We bought an internet ticket every day in the lobby and it was perfect. I remember I had to print my boarding passes for my plane and they had a problem with the printer. The staff made EVERYTHING they could so I could print what I needed and I succeeded. Thanks for that!!! You can go walking to Sanur beach which is just behind but you have to walk up to the corner where you can walk to the coast. Near the hotel, there are lots of places to eat, bars and pubs. A good option if you want a relaxed stay. If you are wondering if staying in Kuta or in Sanur, definitely, stay in SANUR. Kuta is just too loud, too crowded and sometimes too trashy in my opinion.
