Varför människor älskar det
- The breakfast buffet at Clay Craft is widely considered one of the best in Bali
- Huge infinity pool with sweeping views of the ocean and jungle
- Access to Roosterfish Beach Club via a free, reliable shuttle
Snabb Överblick: It’s a polished, concrete jungle resort that feels more like a convention center in the tropics than a barefoot beach escape.
Recenserat av @katherine_galvin: I spent my days lounging by the infinity pool and my evenings watching the most incredible sunsets from my private balcony. The satay was delicious, and the suite's bathtub was the perfect end to the night. Honestly, I didn't want to leave!

Reality check
The 'Garden View' rooms often overlook a cleared hillside or construction rather than a lush garden.
- You are a Marriott Bonvoy loyalist chasing points and upgrades
- You have kids (the kids' club and pool setup are excellent)
- You prefer a modern, bug-free room over a rustic bamboo hut
Renlighet & Underhåll
8.8
- Housekeeping: Daily service is thorough; staff are proactive about replacing towels and water.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. The freestanding tubs are a highlight and kept spotless.
- Maintenance: Generally excellent, though a few reports of leaks in heavy rain due to the open-air design.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count Marriott standard. No complaints here.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh ocean breeze; rooms are neutral. No musty 'Bali smell' detected.

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is the hotel actually on the beach?
No. It is high on a hill in Ungasan. You must take a 15-20 minute shuttle to reach the beach.
How good is the breakfast?
Legendary. It features a pottery studio inside the restaurant, fresh juices, and an insane variety of Asian and Western dishes.
Is it walkable to restaurants?
No. The road outside is a narrow two-lane artery with no sidewalks and fast traffic. Do not walk.
Does the hotel feel crowded?
The main pool gets packed, but the 'Lower Pool' is a hidden gem that usually stays empty and quiet.
Is there a resort fee?
No specific resort fee, but a 21% tax and service charge is added to everything.
Can I use the beach club for free?
Yes, access to Roosterfish Beach Club is free for guests, including the shuttle, but daybeds may require a minimum spend.

Happy Hour at the R Bar offers great sunset views without the crowds of the Rock Bar.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'Garden View' is often a euphemism for 'facing a retaining wall' or 'construction site'.
💡The lobby is open-air and wind-swept; it can actually get chilly at night during the dry season.
💡The gym is 24/7 but feels like an afterthought compared to the rest of the resort.
💡You have to pass a security checkpoint every time you enter, which can slow down Grab deliveries.
💡The bathroom layout in some rooms has a glass wall that offers zero privacy from the bedroom (blinds are available but fiddly).
