Griya Santrian Resort

Janet Moulding

We had a short stay of 2 days at this hotel and have a mixed review. We were able to check in early and it was super efficient. Unfortunately our room was in a block that was in need of renovation with stained, cracked and patched up tiles, worn furniture and was very dark as it had no patio doors, the shower room was extremely small and needed an update ( most of the others blocks seem to have been already been upgraded). The balcony faced a brick wall with no view and in the evening the side wall hid the air conditioning units from the next door restaurant kitchens ; which then proceeded to belch out warm fatty smelling air over our balcony. The room then became very hot and our ancient air conditioning unit struggled to cope. The hotel did offer to move us but as we were leaving in the middle of the 2nd night it didn’t seem worth the hassle. They really need not to use this block especially as it was apparent the hotel was not full. There are upgrading works being undertaken at the beachfront of the hotel and although being done with care, there was obviously noise and the nearest toilet facilities were in the middle of the hotel and of a very poor standard. In fairness to the hotel, it tried to compensate for this disruption by providing 1 free lunch or dinner plus 20% off drinks and food. Breakfast was very good and a large variety with outdoor seating and an air conditioned area if required. Evening meal was of an average standard, but as the hotel is very central there are lots of other eating options on your doorstep. We used the spa and this area has been upgraded and treatments were of a good standard. I would say currently this hotel is a 3 star when compared to other hotels we stayed in across Bali but it’s in a great location and has a lovely breezy beach area and beds etc If you are planning on staying in a garden room make sure it’s in a renovated and upgraded block with patio doors.

Great stay here, room was huge and modern and clean. Internet was good quality and the TV had lots of options. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Pool area was really nice and had lots of lounges and chairs. We hired a bike for 50k and rode along the path and back. Breakfast was good and lots of options. We did the cultural night but it wasn't overly great so I wouldn't do that again. Bathroom was massive and had good amenities and shower, maybe could use some hooks on the walls for hanging towels. Good location, only a few minutes walk to the icon as well the main street with lots of shops and dining options super close.

We had the best stay at Griya Santrian in Feb 2026. Our family ranged from 9 years old to 76 years old and everyone was beyond satisfied. Don't be put off by reviews of construction in and out of the resort. We were hardly aware of any renovations in the resort and the sidewalks along the front of the hotel are completely finished and very walkable. If you're looking for a traditional Balinese-style hotel with gorgeous gardens and lovely staff, easy beach access and great location in Sanur, Griya Santrian is an excellent choice.

Stayed here for 7 nights. Had a terraced deluxe room which was perfect and was a few steps from the pool, plenty of space and great facilities. Staff are friendly and can't help you enough. Breakfast had a good selection. Bar and restaurant are a great location for sunset and good value for money. Sanur is my preferred choice much more quiet but still got good bars and restaurant nearby, if you fancy a sing a long i recommend the the wicked Parrot. Would definitely return. I would use Discova to do a private day trip.

Stayed for several days last week, in one of the new villa. Comfy and spacious, we could not ask for more. The resort is so beautiful and tranquil. Walking distance to good restos, coffee hangouts, and the Icon. Staffs were very helpful too. Would love to come back few years from now.
