Rock 'n Reef Hotel

A perfect small place right on the beach. Go to sleep to the sound of waves, and do little to nothing surrounded by natural beauty. Just the place on the beach you've been looking for.

AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COST!!! We book 1 room through hotels.com and another room through booking.com. Both of the booking are confirmed and paid. However, when we arrived the hotel around 10 PM, the hotel staffs informed us that there was only one room available. !!!! We asked them what went wrong with our booking? We looked at her notebook and saw two of our bookings. One of them was already checked in with our name. She said there was another guest checked in 3 hours ago and took our reservation!!! It was dark, rocky, slippery walkway and steps to the hotel. The staffs were unable to help us on anything. She gave us the number of the manager who already went home. We called and chatted with him on Whatsapp. He could only tell us to go to nearby hotel and stay there. He promised to compensate for the mistake Until now almost 72 hours later, we still have not got the compensation It was TOTALLY HORRIBLE experience. The management is UNPROFESSIONAL. Once again NEVER BOOK THIS HOTEL!!!

It was the kind of place that you see only in movies and such. I would give it a 10/10 just for the place, little beautiful villas overlooking the indian ocean. And it is such a distraction away from your daily stress when you see and hear the waves crashing 24/7. Also an excellent place for surfing. The manager Chris is a friendly guy and he’ll even draw maps and such to tell you where to go to certain places. However, to get to the hotel, u need to climb down steep stone stairs which goes down from the hill since the entrance is on the hill. Same goes when you go out of the hospital- multiple stairs and on the side are gorges. So not really a good place if you’re elderly or unfit to go up and down these stony steps. Also when it rains, there are nocturnal insects that come out at night in the room - we had switched on the reading lamp at one night and suddenly woke up to find many antlike insects with wings moving about at the head of the bed, so just make sure to turn off the lights near ur bed so insects won’t disturb. Also it’d be good if there’s a water dispenser at the common area so that guests will be able to take water when we want. Had to go to kitchen to change new water jags and I needed more water for the hot weather. Overall, it’s an amazing experience to walk along the beach when the tide is low.

Fantastic hotel, small and quiet. The place is right on the cliff and the only sound is the waves, no roosters. There are quiet a few stairs down to the hotel so when you are there all you want to do is stay and relax. Christophe was great as were the rest of the staff. Hopefully will stay again.

One good thing is this property has natural beauty itself, but the access to this property is worse than Jungle Lotus Resort in Ubud. Under the typical humid weather, you need to climb up and down with your traveling bags to get to this property, which seems neverending pain in the butr.

There should be proper arrangements for guests to reach hotel with their luggage and same while going back.

Loved our time at rock and reef will definitely be back and stay longer. It’s a beautiful oasis but still with everything close by. Staff were great as was the food. Great place to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings x

We loved how much character there was, it was so beautiful and the best place to wake up every morning. Getting down to the hotel and back out though was a mission, with 90 large steps and not a lot to hold onto.

The property was absolute heaven and everything looks exactly like the pictures, if not more stunning! Christophe was amazing and welcoming, he went above and beyond to help us on our stay! A must stay if going to Bali!

The view is spectacular, there’s no doubt about it but the amenities are too basic. Aircon can’t cool down the large room, bed is uncomfortable, once you get in you can’t leave, the entrance and access itself with steep steps is underwhelming and puts you off, monkeys come into the room/balcony in the morning (which was charming but could be scary to some). We had booked for two nights but eventually left a day early to head back to Seminyak/Canggu because we felt too stuck in the hotel - you can walk on the beach during low tide, but have no where else to go and can only eat the same food (though tasty, was limited). We did spend a good 5 hours enjoying the view, which was spectacular. But after a while we wanted variety in food and a good massage which was not available from this place or in the vicinity. The manager and the staff were wonderful though, made us feel very welcome and when they heard we were going to leave, persuaded us to stay and enjoy the hotel for as long as we liked (since we had already paid for the room). Highly recommend if you want to surf and do nothing else or feel no need to leave the resort.
