Check rates for The Meru Sanur
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Denpasarhotel search — search for “The Meru Sanur” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? 62-3612012000 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
Book it for the Sanur beachfront and the service score — not because 9.8 out of 10 from 30 reviews is as settled as Quest’s 1,642-review story.
This is the resort outlier in the Denpasar liteAPI city. Facilities list private beach, fitness, conference space, free self parking and free breakfast. There are no POI rows — we describe Sanur boardwalk geography from guest prose, not invented kilometre pins to Denpasar city hall.
The supplier rating is 9.8 out of 10 from 30 reviews, captured 6 January 2026. Every sentiment category in the property’s records posts 9.6–10, with service and location at 10. Cons name check-in delay and boring breakfast after multiple nights — thin sample or not, those complaints are in the property’s records.
Location summary names the end of the boardwalk near Sanur Port and a quiet beachfront. Room quality scores 10 with oversized-room prose. Value scores 9.6 — guests call the stay worth the investment, which is resort language, not budget language.
Check-in and check-out times are not published by the property. Chain is Independent; no airport_code on the row.
Best for
- Couples or families who want a Sanur beach week within the Denpasar supplier city
- Travellers who weight service and room scores over review volume
- Anyone comparing city-belt ASTON stock against a proper beachfront resort
Not for
- Guests who will not book on 30 reviews alone — the sample is thin despite the headline
- Anyone who needs a Denpasar administrative-city pin — this is Sanur, not Gatot Subroto
- Budget airport overnight stays — Quest or Neo fit that job better

The supplier’s overall score
Third-party guest reviews: 9.8/10 from 30 reviews — as of
This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.

Head to head
The Meru Sanur vs Aston Denpasar Hotel & Convention
Sanur beachfront versus Denpasar city belt: a five-star boardwalk resort against a four-star Aston on Gatot Subroto — different trips, not two versions of the same hotel.
The other Denpasar hotels we cover
Quest San Denpasar by ASTON
3-star · Denpasar city belt
A three-star Quest on Mahendradata — largest review sample in the city belt, friendly staff praise, remote location and cleanliness complaints in the same analysis.
Neo Denpasar by ASTON
3-star · Denpasar city belt
A three-star Neo on Gatot Subroto Barat — friendly staff and decent value beside noise, maintenance and old-linen complaints in the same analysis.
Aston Denpasar Hotel & Convention
4-star · Denpasar city belt
A four-star Aston on Gatot Subroto Barat — strategic city-centre prose in guest data beside the weakest supplier score and cleanliness story in this sample.
The Meru Sanur — common questions
- Is The Meru Sanur in Denpasar or Sanur?
- Both, honestly — the address is Sanur within the Denpasar liteAPI city slug. Guest prose places it at the end of the Sanur boardwalk near Sanur Port. It is not in the Gatot Subroto city belt with the three ASTON-family hotels.
- Can I trust a 9.8 score from 30 reviews?
- Treat it as early signal, not settled fact. The categories are uniformly high — service and location at 10 out of 10 as of 6 January 2026 — but check-in delay and breakfast repetition are still named as cons. Read the count alongside the number.
