Guests at The Meru Sanur can swim in The Meru Pool, a beachfront pool for resort guests only, or in the 57 by 37 m Bali Beach Pool, one of Sanur’s largest hotel pools. Both pools are open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

Breakfast is a generous buffet with Western, Indonesian, and vegetarian choices, and the beach bar is a good spot for sunset drinks.

The Meru Sanur works best for couples, families, and wellness-minded travelers who want space and a beachfront setting rather than a busy party area. On Tripadvisor guests rate it about 4.9, on Trip.com cleanliness, amenities, and location each score about 9.4, and on Google it scores about 4.7. One honest note: the resort shares its lobby and grounds with the Bali Beach Hotel, so it is large, the pools close at 7:00 PM, and a few guests mention weak water pressure or lukewarm showers.

Our Second Stay – We Would Happily Come Back Again! 🌴 This is our second time staying at The Meru Sanur, and once again, we absolutely love it! The hotel offers incredibly spacious and very clean rooms, providing plenty of comfort and space to relax. The location is fantastic, right by the beach, with plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. The breakfast is another highlight, offering a huge variety of options to suit every taste. The beautiful swimming pool is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the tropical surroundings.
I had the most relaxing 6-night stay at The Meru and can't wait to return next year. My room was beautiful, with a small ocean view, a luxurious bathroom featuring a large bath, huge shower, heated Toto toilet, and plenty of storage space. The bed was incredibly comfortable with crisp, quality linens. The resort has a lovely eco-friendly feel, with beautiful timber throughout and safe, great-tasting drinking water provided. The restaurants were excellent, and I enjoyed seafood and meals from all of them.
