Villa Puri Ayu

My family (wife and two teenage daughters) stayed in the Emerald Wing accomodation. This was very nice with excellent beds and sheets in two bedroom (both doubles), huge lounge/dining and self contained kitchen. Plasma TV and DVD working. Very spacious and right by the pool. Thoroughly cleaned every day by team of 3 staff, good quality clean towels. Only had small problem with basin plumbing in one ensuite and tap falling off in kitchen (seems to be routine faults in Bali). Very hard to get hot water so be prepared to settle for tepid... more

We travelled to Sanur with our two children ( 11 + 12 ) after staying in Ubud for three nights, I wish we had stayed there! We had the Villa Diamond and although the previous reviews rave about this Villa we thought it was terrible. Our children slept upstairs the first night, well part of it as they were kept awake by the noise from the Sanur Beach Hotel that is directly behind. The following morning my daughter woke up with insect bites all over her face, not mosquito, although she did have a few of those on her legs. The Villa... more

Just returned from a week at Villa Puri Ayu. The location was a bit far away from the main area of Sanur which was a bit of a shame, but all the same it was nice and peaceful for the most part. High points included: 1) The room. Without fail, this was the best room I have ever had. We were staying in a 2br apartment, and it was just fantastic. So much room to move, really comfy beds, and two bathrooms - it really was fabulous. 2) The pools. Both pools were fantastic - the plunge pool was quite cool, and great to jump into... more

This place has a very good ambience, for its location in the busy & over-commercialised Sanur area. It has beautiful gardens with birds making their nests on the trees, and two beautiful pools - a swimming pool and a plunge pool. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. One woman staff brought me in the hotel’s car to a nearby legong restaurant for free. However, the rooms are less than desirable. They are rather dirty and the mosquito netting is not well designed - you don’t get covered up properly. Strangely, the bathroom area is... more

Me my husband and son have just recently returned from Sanur where we stayed at the Puri Ayu. We had 7 nights in the Villa Diamond which was fantastic, (like the previous review the pictures do not do this place justice). It was so big we only went upstairs once or twice. The villa Diamond would be great for a large family getaway. We have also stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment which was also really nice. The apartment was very clean and well worth the money. We had a little outside seating area which was lovely and both the bedrooms... more

We were highly recommended to stay at the Villa Diamond which is the 4 bedroom villa within Puri Ayu .The minute you arrive you fall in love with the place , the staff are brilliant the VillaDiamond is huge and photos do not do it justice !! It is situated literally a 4 minute walk to the beach and fantastic restaurants . We had never stayed at Sanur before and from now on it will be the only place we stay . The waters where crystal clear and the beaches are gorgeous . Do yourself a favour and book... more

Fantastic accommodation! Consists of 14 'cottages' tucked away from main road, down dirt road. An oasis in the intense heat & madness of the hawkers (who are completely harmless, just too many of them)! I stayed April/May 2007 with hubby & 3 year old daughter. Included in package was cooked to order breakfast - Nasi Goreng every morning for breakfast with watermelon shake & coffee. ALL staff are lovely, especially so to our daughter. They are considerate & selfless & a joy to talk to. We found that with most Balinese we came in contact with.... more

I stayes 2 nights at different villa for each. 1st night it was old type with garden, kitchen, big terrace with bar counter. It was surrounded by a wall and even you could lock the gate of your garden. 2nd night I asked to stay not in the wall, but open space with the view of outside. It was new appartment villa, they called 'VILLA TONY'. The photos are all from this Tony's room. It was very new, has big open dining with the view of main pool. The living room was also big as well as sleeping room. I really appreciate that the... more

My Balinese colleagues recommended I stay at this resort during a conference in April. It was a wonderful spot for $35 a night. The staff were kind, the rooms were clean,and the grounds were beautiful. Wireless interenet (for a fee) always worked quickly, and I felt very well taken care of. I am returning to Bali in December, and will be staying at the Villa Puri Ayu again.

I am writing this review as I sit in my room in the Villa Puri Ayu via the wireless internet offered for 30,000 rupiah per day (about $4). The rooms are better than the pictures on the website. Each room room is decorated in Balinese style, with air conditioning, TV and a DVD player. The bath tub is jacuzzi style (probably could squeeze four people in it). Each room has a porch with chairs to enjoy beers at in the evening. The hotel has two pools, one small and one larger with a waterfall and fountains. The garden is beautiful and makes you... more
