The perfect hideaway spot”

My boyfriend and I spent 1 week at Rock n Reef and when we left, we felt that it was almost like our second home. The manager, Chris, makes sure you are 100% comfortable and will give you any tips and advice about Bali. The food is fantastic. It’s a small kitchen with two lovely women that cooks the most amazing Indonesian food. The rooms are not super fancy but clean and the air conditioning works well. However, you won’t spent too much time in your room anyway, the facilities is right on the beach and the view is absolutely spectacular! Be aware of that it is a steep downhill walk (rock stairs) to get to the hotel. Don’t bring any heavy bags! Backpacks are ideal but, Chris and his team will help you carry your bags down. Rock n Reef is a must see in Uluwatu. My boyfriend and I will most definitely come back and stay there. You will not be disappointed if you book this accommodation! Annie & Diaan

Bali’s Best Secret ”

What more can you ask for than a quaint, reef-chic stay right above the oceans reef? They have everything self contained location so you don’t need leave: drinking water, diverse menu selection, lovely welcoming team, different seating arrangements to keep you excited to try out the next view, waves crashing below, equipment for snorkeling, scootering, boards, kayaking ( some complimentary and some at small price). The rooms are some of the cleanest we’ve had. The Superior Balcony room we stayed hd a unique rock wall in the shower to blend with the landscape and a no-door bathroom arrangement that is not shown in pictures. It was a marvel of room design with usage of space and enjoyed the uniqueness, but likely not preferable for someone who is shy. The stairs are tough but not as bad as some Of the neighboring properties, but why leave? We have traveled around the entire island quite a bit and ended up booking another stay because Rock n Reef is the best in Bali. Bravo!

Absolute paradise ”

My fiance and I stayed at Rock n Reef for 7 days and it was one of the best hotel stay and holiday experiences of our lives. Everything from asking Chris to arrange something special for us upon arrival to him and his staff looking after us during our stay was absolutely amazing. I can't see us even considering staying anywhere else Uluwatu when we visit there again. We would hightly recommend Rock n Reef. Not only because of the stunning location but also because of Chris and his staff. Thanks for an amazing expriance.

Beachfront Bliss”

Waking to the sound of the Ocean lapping at the door is a beautiful experience rarely found in Bali Hotels ! The Rock n Reef is a genuine beachfront property, built on the beach & into the cliff in a simple Santorini style. With only 7 x rooms to care for, ever attentive staff ensured our stay was most comfortable. Caution that the steep walk in to the property is not for the elderly or infirm. However, once that has been negotiated you've arrived at one of Bali's best kept secrets. We spent the afternoons kayaking (free of charge) & reef walking the lagoon created at low tide. Surfing was the option for high tide. Recommended for couples looking to escape & enjoy an isolated but gorgeous seascape first hand.

Beautiful views”

What a great little find Rock n Reef was. We loved our time at the hotel. If you are after a hotel without a tv but just the sound of the waves then this is the place for you. Just in front of The Impossibles this hotel is as perfectly situated away from the busier areas of Uluwatu. You def need to hire a scooter from the hotel to get around. Christophe has some wonderful suggestions of things you can do in the area. There is quite a climb down to the hotel but once you get there it is well worth it. We loved our time at Rock n Reef

Quiet haven tucked away in the shoreline ”

Rock n Reef is breath taking! Quite literally ... with a steep and challenging descent down narrow steps, you eventually find a piece of heaven. The accommodation is simple but very comfortable. With no TV or radio in the room, you’re sent to sleep by the sound of waves crashing on the shore outside. At times it sounds like the waves are going to catch your toes it’s that close!! A beautiful, quiet haven tucked away in the southern top of Bali, this is the perfect retreat after a long flight as it’s close to the airport but away from the crazy traffic and crowds. Highly recommended.

Wonderful beach front stay! ”

We had the best 3 night stay at Rock n Reef, Uluwatu! Chris and the staff are amazing, and the sunset room was incredible. Don’t underestimate the stairs described in the advertising though - they are a feat but a good way to get a little bit of fitness in on holiday! We will definitely be back :)

Relaxing place on the water”

It was my second time staying at Rock n Reef and I absolutely loved my time there. We had the room above the water which was absolutely stunning with its endless ocean views and perfect balcony for watching the sunset in privacy. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. A chilled relaxing vibe to enjoy the sunny days and surf break impossibles right in front. Will def stay again.

What a location!”

You don't have to be a surfer to enjoy the location of rock n reef, which is built into the cliffs of Uluwatu, giving some amazing sunset views over the water. The small size (6 rooms/bungalows?) gives it a really laid back character. Our room was one of the stand alone bungalows with it's own little balcony. It's a little bit of effort to get to with the many steps down the cliff but it's worth it.

Exceptional”

My first time to stay in Uluwatu and in Rick N Reef. All staff are very welcoming and accomodating😊 i love my room (ocean view) i could stay there all day 😅 just sad that it was raining in morning but its given since its November. But everything is nice. And the stairs, 😅 its quite an adventure 😊😅😂 hope to be back again 😊👍👌

Wonderful room, location and staff!”

Me and my partner were upgraded to the Big Rock room for my Birthday! The room itself was lovely, with panoramic views of the sea and a nice big wrap around balcony where we were able to eat a tasty breakfast each morning. We loved the facilities, location and food options available throughout the day here. The beach just below is very quiet and clean, and was the best beach we visited during our time in Uluwatu. We were able to rent a scooter for a very reasonable price and the staff also helped us book multiple taxis. Christophe and his team were all very kind and hardworking, giving the place such a wonderful atmosphere - thank you so much!

AMAZING!!!”

I LOVED Rock n Reef. Christophe, the manager, was amazing - great to talk to, gave perfect advice on where to go, etc. I think I said, "I don't want to leave" at least 5 times/day. One of a kind. I am 100% coming back!!

Amazing location ”

Access to Rock snd Reef is not for the feinted hearted, especially arriving on a rainy night when the power was out.! We didn’t get the room we booked due to renovations. The larger room we were given was okay but not the uninterrupted ocean view we expected and looked forward to. Much needed repairs were happening while we were there which would have been nice to know about. The location down the cliff on a beautiful secluded beach is amazing! The small village with excellent cafes is only about 15 minutes walk. Taxis in the area expensive. Breakfast was great and the evening meals were quite good also. Christophe was very welcoming and helpful as were the other staff. Rooms cleaned every day but always had to ask for water for the room as it was never replaced. I do think it is expensive for the standard of room but the location is what would take us back to Rock and Reef. Would we return? Yes but I would be more selective with my room choice and ensure I arrived in day light!

Super cute place!”

Rock and reef is an adorable small place with the ocean right outside your door. The staff was awesome, especially when a monkey appeared out of nowhere and tried to steal our food. We had a fantastic stay, I highly recommend it!

Great Hidden Gem!”

What a great place right on a really fun surf break! Facilities are what I was looking for in Bali... a place that feels a world away. I loved that it didn't feel like an American Resort. Bali should be experienced this way and not in a Hilton! With that being said, do not stay here expecting a Hilton type resort, this is authentic Bali Luxury (not Americanized Hilton luxury). Room was clean with a beautiful view of the Ocean. Small terrace with a padded chaise lounge was epic to sit out on and have a Bintang (or three) while watching the waves crash against the shore (which is right underneath the room! AMAZING! Food was incredible and I loved the fresh juice and fruit pancakes for breakfast. Manager Christophe was great as well. Very nice human being with a great life story. Incredibly accommodating! Will definitely stay again. -Ryan

Little piece of paradise ”

A hidden gem, perfect for a romantic getaway. Simple accom, with traditional local food offerings. All rooms oceanfront, idealic location at Impossibles surf beak. If you are looking to escape the hustle of Bali this place is highly recommended. Manager Chris is helpful and provides expert knowledge without being intrusive. We have had many visits to Bali over the years and and staying here has definitely been a highlight.

Great spot for enjoying Bali of yesterday ”

Very basic but beautiful hotel. Perched at the bottom of a steep cliff right on a protective reef ideal for swimming and a wondrous surf break beyond. Steep climb to reception so only for the able bodied - but worth the climb. Loved it.

Simple Perfection”

It’s super basic, but the room was lovely, the food simple, clean and delicious and located in one of the best spots of the Uluwatu beach. The staff were so friendly and helpful. It’s an adventure finding it down the cliff steps!

Amazing location right on the ocean ”

The location is one of a kind. The water right at your doorstep. Easy to get to. Not too many stairs to get down to the rooms. I loved the simplicity and the Cyclades style of the buildings. All the staff were very friendly. Chris was great to chat to and have us lots of advice on the surf and good places to visit . The only thing I would improve is the bed. The size was amazing, nice and clean, just a bit too hard. But that is like everywhere in Bali it seems! Highly recommended, can't wait to go back for another stay!

Epic place!”

This was probably my favorite hotel I stayed at in all of Bali. So nice and secluded with acres to everything within the resort. The staff is incredibly friendly, as are the few other travelers since it’s a small place. It’s about 10 steps down to the beach and the surf. The view from the balcony will change your life!
