Sheraton Senggigi Beach Resort

The Sheraton is one of Senggigi's original international resorts and still one of its most reliable, set on the beach at the northern edge of the town centre. The grounds are the standout feature: mature gardens, frangipani and palm trees surround a large free-form pool that runs towards the sand, and the beachfront terrace is a fine place for a sunset drink with views to Bali.

Rooms are in low-rise blocks with balconies or terraces facing the gardens or the sea. Guests note that some interiors are showing their age, but they are spacious and well kept, and the staff receive consistent praise for warm, professional service. Breakfast is a generous buffet, and there are restaurants, a bar, a spa, a kids' club and a fitness room on site.

It is a good fit for families and for anyone wanting a full-service resort within walking distance of Senggigi's restaurants. Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and redeem points here. The airport is about 75 to 90 minutes' drive away, and Bangsal harbour for the Gili Islands is around 45 minutes north.
