The dining experience at the Parigata Resort and Spa
While the resort doesn’t have multiple restaurants, it does offer a charming on-site restaurant serving delicious Balinese and Western cuisine. We did not eat there at night, but many people did, and it smelled fantastic.
The restaurant features signature nights, such as Satay nights, where you can have one of Bali’s most popular dishes. You can order food all day and evening.
That morning, we were able to choose from a set menu featuring an array of international cuisine at the Parigata Hotel and Resort.
The resort offered four distinct breakfast options: Continental, American, Indonesian, and a healthy choice, all accompanied by coffee, fruit juice, and a fruit salad.

Best time to go to Bali
The best time to visit Sanur and other spots in Bali, Indonesia, is during the dry season, which runs from May to September.
During this time, the weather in Bali is generally sunny with low humidity. It is perfect for outdoor activities such as walking, swimming, snorkelling, and reading a book while lying by the pool.
April and October shoulder seasons can also be good times to visit Sanur, as the weather in Sanur is still pleasant but with fewer crowds. Pack your suitcase and book your flights for one of the best periods to visit attractions such as Bali Zoo, Waterbom and the Monkey Forest.
However, if you don’t mind the occasional rain shower, visiting Sanur during the wet season from October to March can also have advantages. The lush greenery and cooler temperatures can be refreshing, but ensure you have a waterproof bag and umbrella for your outings in case of a downpour.
It’s worth noting that Sanur in Bali is a popular tourist destination, and the peak season for tourism is from June to August. Planning your visit outside these months is best if you prefer to avoid crowds and higher prices.
