Such an amazing place to stay. A short walk from all the best cafes, shops and bars in Uluwatu and a truly breathtaking place to stay, swim and unwind even when the weather isn’t its finest. Beautiful hosts and vibe 🙌
Will be returning in the future 😍

The views are absolutely stunning from here. The rooms are clean and simple but the view and shared outdoor areas are so beautiful. The food is good as well but small. The staff were amazing! They helped us carry our bags down all the stairs and up!
Wonderful hotel with incredible views and lovely staff
The rooms are rustic but that’s the charm!
The steps are no joke but completely worth it, stunning views and when the tide is right the beach front location can’t be beaten
This was such a unique place to stay. You have to be ready for the trek to get there but once you do, the views are incredible. The place itself is rustic but charming. The staff were scrambling when we arrived because they couldn’t find our reservation but once that was settled, they were good. The food was amazing! We spent hours on our balcony, enjoying the view. Would recommend!
Absolutely breathtaking views with captivating sunsets! The staff were lovely and so accommodating. Rock N’ Reef was definitely an experience I will never forget.
From the walk down the cliff to the beautiful Mediterranean influenced bungalows. This place rocks!
All the staff are amazing and looked after us like family.
Walks, surf, sunsets and cocktails. Hard to say goodbye!
View from hotel was fantastic and the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. Food was also great!
Do take note that the flight of stairs to reach the property can be challenging but it is worth the effort, in our opinion!
It's right next to the ocean. The view is spectacular. The property is in a very private, exclusive location. We can walk to the padang padang beach when it's low tide. Lots of surfers when it's high tide. Sunset is beautiful! Great for couples.
The hotel was super cute, but to get there was hard. Don’t come with a lot of bags, you will have to go down at least 150 steps. But the staff was really nice and food was super good.
We spent 5 magical nights at this property and couldn’t rate it higher.
Magical location if you are looking to unwind and decompress.
Breakfast was enjoyable and everything you need and we enjoyed dinner and lunch on a few occasions.
We didn’t have our own transport which may be handy if you are planning on getting out and about but we enjoyed walking to new cafes and restaurants.
Sunsets are amazing from all locations and we enjoyed a few monkey visits which made for some great entertainment.
Staff are welcoming and super helpful.
Absolutely stunning, the view was beautiful, the beach is right on your door step, it is a steep climb up to the main road but only takes roughly 1 min to get up the steep stairs, then can either walk to the main road which is only 500m away or get a gojek. Location is great, everything is super close, all the best cafes etc. amazing surf right out front if your a surfer this is a prime location. The stuff were super friendly and accommodating and breakfast was great. Only thing we had an issue with was there was a few big bull ants that were in our room. Also would be great touch if the rooms had a tv.
Beautiful, quiet and serene. Stayed 3 nights at Rock and Reef and had a great stay. Place is full of character and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food options are very good and there’s enough variety that we were quite happy to eat at the hotel while watching the sunset over the ocean. The room was well appointed and comfortable. My only issue would be that I’d like to see the air conditioner work a little better, thankfully there was a fan in the room to accompany the AC to keep the room comfortable at night. The stairs down to the hotel can be a challenge with luggage so use the call box at the top and get help. It’s within walking distance to some decent nightlife and shopping if you want to go out for the day.

Stunning views, a surfer’s idea of paradise - my partner was able to surf just in front of our room! Could not get any closer to the water & amazing falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing.
Only thing we found was that the bathrooms were a bit gross, nothing would dry and it smelled of mould. I think more to do with the challenges of the location than poor hygiene though.
I can't rate the property high enough. We were met by the owner at the reception and given a complimentary cool drink. Once we were installed in our room which was high up looking out over one of the best surf breaks I have ever seen, we pinched ourselves to make sure that we hadn't died and gone to heaven.
We had every meal at the resort and were very impressed with the quality and reasonable price.
The staff were charming and so friendly, making sure to call us by name.
The steps leading down to the resort were a bit of a challenge but if required a call will bring staff up to help. We didn't need help as we are only in our early 70s.
The property was extremely unique! If you're looking for a 5* Marriot where you can drive up to the front door and hop in an elevator directly to your room this isn't for you. There is however a once in a lifetime staircase down to the reception / communal area before your private staircase to your unique room with an incredible view! Be sure to red the full description before booking, and also use the phone at the top of the driveway if assistance required with your bags down the steps. Thank you so much to management, the staff, the view, and the inclusive kayaks.
Disappointing Stay at Rock and Reef – False Advertising and Major Inconveniences
1/5 stars
I booked Rock and Reef expecting a modern, renovated room based on the sleek photos on their website and booking platforms. What I got was the complete opposite: a tired, outdated room that clearly hasn’t been touched in years.
• Room condition: an ancient aircon unit that wheezed like it was on life support.
• Linens: Towels and bedsheets were old, faded, and felt like they’d been in service since the 90s.
• Misleading photos: The “modern” room in the ads doesn’t exist. My room looked nothing like the renovated version advertised.
Location hassle: The resort is perched on a cliff, which sounds romantic until you have to haul luggage down a steep, uneven path. They offer porter service with a fee.
The final straw – morning power outage:
At sunrise, the power cut out and never came back. No electricity = no aircon (room turned into a sauna), no running water for showering or even brushing teeth. With an old AC unit that takes ages to cool, the room was unbearable. We checked out hours early just to escape.
The only saving grace: The food was genuinely excellent—fresh, flavorful, and the one thing they got right.
The direct view to ocean was great too.
Verdict: Rock and Reef is coasting on pretty photos and maybe great location for surfer. Everything else—facilities and basic amenities—feels neglected.

Nice view, but a bit overpriced
We had a good time at Rock n Reef, but we were a bit disappointed with the fact of how much money we used on this stay. The view was amazing, and the staff was really nice. With that said the way down to the hotel are very hard. With heavy luggage it felt like being on a hike. We paid for getting help with the luggage up, but we felt a bit stuck at the hotel as it’s a workout to get up. The breakfast was also not too much to brag about. All in all it’s a nice hotel with great view, but unfortunately we think it’s not worth the money
Staying here was an enjoyable experience for our 3 night stay. The views are unparalleled. I believe other reviews have mentioned, but there is quite a bit of a walk to get there (90 stairs, not accessible). Once you get past it, it is a great visit. I think it's definitely worth it at least once in your life. Would I stay again? Probably not. The AC in the room never got cool enough and it was HOT out. The location is a little inconvenient, but grab bikes were able to pick you up once you got to the end of the steps. The breakfast was pretty good! We also had a couple lunches there that were great. The biggest plus was the service of the staff. I was overall happy with that.
Right down from Le Cliff we stayed here, worlds apart in terms of experience— you felt like family at Rock’nReef. Friendly staff. Supportive helpful management. Though the property is a bit older, it was clean and very well looked after. The staff was always near, refilling pitchers of water and there to assist. Lots of intimate spaces so you could eat in isolation or hAng in a chaise lounge. Paddle boards and kayaks were available for free. Staff assisted with luggage up the 90 or so stairs since they are below cliff on beach. Rooms were also private with balconies and were quiet. Though menu is limited—they had Great food! Highly recommend. Frank and I had a great time and loved everything about Rock’n Reef. Suggestions: adding more rough to shower surface or mat since this got slick. Also ceiling fans and misters near chaise lounges would be a big relief to the humidity. Lastly, some bagged snacks like pretzels being available for purchase would gave been fabulous BUT we cannot say enough good about this sweet property!

First of all, the staff is friendly and kind.
As for the resort it self, we were a little disappointed. Location wise, it beautiful and right on the beach with incredible views.
What we didn't like was the limited food menu. This is somewhat understandable as they only have 11 rooms, however, tgis resort includes free breakfast (if that's what you call it), when you're paying good money to stay at a resort on the beach and you order the "American breakfast" and it comes with one slice of bacon and two eggs and toast - I'd hardly call that American breakfast. Most American breakfast comes with eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and sausage, so on that note, it was disappointing.
Our room had a beautiful view of the ocean, however, we dealt with insects, cockroach's, and a Tomcat that stung my wife while she was sleeping on our first night, and unfortunately ruined her remaining trip as she seeked medical attention from a doctor.
Lastly, the ocean around the property was actually disgusting, I've never seen so much garbage floating around and on the beach (this is not the fault of the resort) but when you want to go swimming and can't due to the garbage floating near the shore, it makes you even question ever going back to Bali.
Incredible views! We had the 'Big Rock' room and it was beautiful.
Staying at Rock'n Reef means you have the ocean directly on your doorstep. It's an incredible place to stay. I reccommend it.
The driver that RocknReef organised for us for our transfer (which we had to pay extra for) - Wayan - was great! Great service. One of the most comfortable transfers we had when travelling Indonesia. He even carried my big luggage down the very long and steep stairs to RocknReef.
The stairs to get to Rock'n Reef are very steep, uneven, and long - it's a big effort to go up them. We were prepared for it, after reading other reviews. However, they are poorly lit, and don't have railings at times. I would not want to climb down them at night after a night out. Could be improved with further railings and more lighting.
The breakfast was inclulded in our stay. However, there were only 3 options to choose from, and they were small servings.
This place is in a beautiful location and the staff are all lovely, however there is definitely room for improvement. We arrived in Bali late so the hotel kindly pre-arranged a driver to pick us up from the airport and help us carry our luggage down the steps to our room and check us in. However, following this, the next morning we never received any welcome or information from anyone which would have been useful as we hadn't had a proper check in and therefore had no idea who to speak to about anything. Our room was lovely but could have done with some improvements:
-the aircon wasn't great so it was still very warm at night
- the shower head couldn't be used in its holder so you had to hold it yourself to shower
- our fridge was not working so we let the staff know who just removed it from our room and said nothing more so we didn't have a fridge for our stay and were still charged for the one warm beer we had out of it on arrival. Furthermore, there was no sign to actually say you had to pay for the drinks in the fridge and their cost
- an information pack would have been useful in the room just to have the WiFi password on, breakfast times, check out times, minibar costs, a number to call/whatsapp if there was any issues etc
Lastly, I booked this place with the understanding it had a pool. I'm not sure the 0.5m deep, 2x2m tub of water could be classed as a pool...
