Location & staff was amazing.

It's a great place. The swimming pools could be better but that would literally be my only slightly negative.

Room spacious and with lots of period features throughout the hotel. Lush green grounds with a swimmable 1.6m pool plus a couple of other child friendly pools. There's even a gym. Honeymoon bungalows are situated beach front. Very good air-con and reasonable shower. Given the property's history fixtures are showing its age. Still quite clean after all and staff are friendly. Easy walk to restaurants along beach promenade or the main thoroughfare a block behind.

I stayed for 9 nights with friends. The staff and family are just so nice, you'll be greeted by everyone with gentle smiles. The restaurant out front is lovely overlooking the lagoon and views to the island, and the staff there are great too. We converged there most mornings for juice, hot brekky and a coffee and watched the world go by on the beachfront boardwalk. It's a great location, right next to the Maya where we enjoyed cocktails and a few meals, and a five minute walk south you'll find a few fancy places and further along another string of absolute beachfront restaurants. If you track north you'll get the same, just a few mins more in the walking schedule. The hotel runs from the main drag in Sanur with all the shops etc to the beachfront. I felt very safe while staying there. My friend's room was a superior bungalow and I wish I booked that room. Very lovely and stylish. My other friend and I booked the standard room. She was super happy with her room, I would have preferred something nicer as I don't get away much, but they were too full to upgrade me. I never saw the family rooms. My friend has also stayed in the beachfront rooms and said they were divine. The standard rooms are located in their own garden area in an old style Bali house with a room downstairs and one upstairs. They are separate with their own entry. I could hear the people upstairs but everyone was respectful. The rooms are spacious and the air con was strong, I only ran it at night, and the room stayed cool all day. I couldn't open the window as no screens. The bathroom was a bit dank and old and the shower wasn't great. The safe didn't work but they provided a separate lock box. The team will come and clean your room daily but you can put a do not disturb sign up. The TV had about 9 channels, one was ABC and the other, at times, had movies. The wifi worked most of the time, and only went down for what seemed like a day/night, but i had my own data too. The gardens are amazing. Truly. It's an absolute delight to walk through the resort. There are 3 pools, one specifically for kids. It's not fancy pants, but real and authentic, which we loved. One day we were lounging by the pool and the staff serenaded us with traditional music (they have it all set up in the main open air building. I didn't think to use the gym, as I was just too relaxed to do anything like that. So absolutely recommend Peneeda, just ensure you get the room that fits your style, not just the budget. Enjoy your stay!

Very nice friendly staff good food next to the nice easy to swim in sea. Would come again
