INTERCONTINENTAL BALI SANUR Review: Don’t Book Until You See This

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed review of the InterContinental Bali Sanur, comparing it unfavorably to the nearby InterContinental Jimbaran. He notes that the property has undergone multiple brand changes in recent years, which he suggests may impact service standards. A primary criticism involves the resort layout, as much of the central tropical greenery is inaccessible to guests due to fencing and the placement of the spa. While the creator praises the size and quality of the rooms, specifically noting the comfortable linens and the thoughtful pass through butler box, he expresses disappointment regarding the lack of a proper coffee machine and the presence of a loud, unsettling noise in the bathroom. The beach area is described as having an off putting smell and less appealing water compared to neighboring resorts. Dining experiences are mixed; while the Pier 8 restaurant provided high quality food and service, the breakfast buffet at Lagang Lagang was underwhelming. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the resort is not worth the current premium pricing when compared to other local options.
