I recently stayed at Mercure Resort Sanur, and overall, it was a pleasant and relaxing experience. The resort is perfectly located with direct access to Sanur Beach, making it an ideal spot for anyone looking to unwind by the sea. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help, which added a personal touch to the stay.
One of the biggest highlights is the beachfront location. You can walk out and find numerous beachside eateries offering local Balinese dishes — a great way to enjoy authentic food with a view. The breakfast buffet was decent, with a mix of Western and local options, though not overly elaborate.
The resort has two small swimming pools, which were clean and not overly crowded. Renting cycles or taking a leisurely stroll along the beach path is another enjoyable way to spend your day. Resort also has inhouse Spa, but prebooking is mostly necessary.
However, a few downsides are worth noting. My room had only one charging point, which was inconvenient given today’s gadget-heavy lifestyle. I’d recommend bringing an extension strip if you're carrying multiple devices. Also, the vegetarian menu was extremely limited, with barely 3–5 options available — definitely something the منتجع ميركيور سانور could improve on.
Also, I would personally prefer higher room variants. delux and superior rooms are fine. I was not satisfied with bed linen / towel quality and tiny size of the bathroom.
If you're planning to explore areas like Ubud frequently, be prepared for long drives — it takes 70 to 90 minutes each way. That said, Grab taxis (similar to Ola/Uber) are easily available and surprisingly affordable, making local travel manageable.
In summary, Mercure Sanur is great for beach lovers and those looking for a quiet, laid-back stay, but it's not the most convenient base if your itinerary includes daily trips to central Bali.
