In a nutshell
The place I will probably stay at on my next trip
Biking & hiking along the beach
indyoto Says: 7 km long biking or walking along the Sanur Beach. From Matahari Terbit street to Pantai Mertasari. You can even make it longer, i.e. from Padang galak to Pengembak. Footpath along this beach is prety good.
Missing the cricket or football?
Daihappydai Says: Barb's Sports Warung is a friendly little bar that has large screens showing sport and is a particular favorite for sport-mad Aussies. If you are in Sanur on Boxing Day - 26th December - Barb's will be showing the cricket test live from the M.C.G. Also shows Aussie Rules...

Various shops on Jalan Danau Tamblingan: Plenty of tourist treats
Daihappydai Says: You don't need to be in Kuta or Legian to pick up cheap Balinese souvenirs. There are plenty of shops/stalls along Jalan Danau Tamblingan in Sanur where you can bargain for wood products, batik and many other souvenirs. Far less hassling than in Kuta, far less 'massage...

abooz Says: The motorbike rent in the sanur area is rather cheap, maybe about IR 50,000 per day. we took one thinking that we could save on the transport fees as we wanted to travel to Denpasar and maybe to Kuta region. After renting the bike, we had a hard time riding through the...
Helpfulness
Some of the money changers in Bali have a terrible reputation for short changing tourists. They have many ways of doing this & if caught out by you they just smile & act like it is an honest mistake. The reason it is so easy to trick unsuspecting travellers is that the denominations are massive . They range from 1,000;5,000;10,000;20,000;50,000 and 100,000Rp notes & to the untrained eye the 10,000 & 100,000rp notes can be confused so the money changers slip in the odd 10 instead of 100 & you've lost 90 before you leave the shop. Also some offer a fantastic rate only to be told that they also charge a commission fee which means their rate on the front door is not all that good. Some even go to the extreme of altering their calculators to multiply out incorrect amounts.
Unique Suggestions: You of course have to change money at some stage. The hotels are reputable but do not offer the best rate. Sometimes it's worth changing a small amount at the hotel, just enough to get a taxi to one of the better money changers. Carry your own calculator or change money in $100 amounts that way you don't have to rely on their maths. ALWAYS recount the money yourself in front of them before you leave the shop. Don't let other people push you aside or hassle you to hurry before you re-check your money. Also ask around among other hotel guests see where they change their money & if they've had any problems.
Fun Alternatives: Look out for money changers that carry a licence it should be displayed in the window. In some places you can use the banks. But away from the main tourist areas you'll have to carry money with you or find someone who is reputale.
In Sanur I usually use the moneychanger opposite La Taverna it is also a Wartel ( Public Phone) & they have a security guard inside.
Usually the money changers inside the Kodak shops are also reliable.
There is also a money changing booth just at the entrance of the Hardy's supermarket in Sanur so it is very convenient for shopping. We have never ha a problem there.
In Denpasar we've used the money changer on the ground floor of the Ramayana Bali Mall, but it's been a long while since we've been there as the shopping is so good all over the island now.

Sanur is a quiet beach town only about 10 mins drive away from the chaos of Kuta. Sunrises can be spectacular, but this time while we were there most mornings were too hazy to get any really great......
