Bali: Sanur Day 6-8 Andaz by Hyatt Garden Villa

So the nice thing about this villa is it’s inside the resort so we get the best of both worlds – room service and a gorgeous resort + private pool and quiet. I loved the quiet, the private pool and the very comfy lounges inside and outside! Don’t think I will pay Hyatt prices again (ridiculous) and will instead pay for villa experience without the need for resort amenities. I will make sure we are near the beach though.

Days 6-8 this time around were much of muchness…we slept in, ate lunch locally, read books or swam and then went to various happy hours and dinner each night. Which was exactly what I wanted! A large part of this trip was about a break for me from work/study.

Places in Sanur we ate at this trip included.

• Naughty Nuri’s (western tourist pricing) – ribs and steak skewers good, so were the cocktails ✅

• Pelisi at Alantara Hotel – lots of western food at resort prices but also indo stuff was well priced and tasty from the menu. Cocktails delicious and based in our hotel so easy to get to! ✅

• The shed (formally named the men’s shed) was one of the few walkable places from our first accomodation this time. Very western and car focused but drinks well priced and food looked okay ✅
• Happy hour in the Tree Top Bar at the Maya or breakfast. Can’t beat the view! We ate and drank here quite a few times and it’s a definite favourite ✅

• Warung Mama Sanur – yummy food, good local prices. Soto Ayam and rendang were really good ✅

• Hyatt beach bbq grill + free flowing drinks package with fire dance was GREAT! Not cheap but the food was delicious, the dance was impressive and the drinks were very….boozy lol. Definitely a lovely treat to engage with ✅
• Cafe Batujimbar. Breakfast and drinks were western pricing but juices in particular were very refreshing and large ✅

• Pizzaria: we just had a happy hour drink and their service was so, so bad. Apparently the food is good, and the pizza gets rave reviews ✅

• Blue oven: Andaz Hyatt resort lazy dining but their sate ayam was delicious and the pizza was expensive but tasty ✅
• Tandjung Sari: on the beach walk, nice view, definitely more pricey but really tasty indo food ✅

• Pier 8 – lovely beach view and strong cocktails, food was nice but very pricey ✅

• Annnnd the last one on the list is Izakaya Kuu at Maya Resort which has an amazing lunch offer of $8.5 AUD for ramen, 2 gyoza and iced tea at lunch! Super tasty ✅
