Anantara Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa

We are returning guests from a few years back. We were deciding between staying at Anantara or Raddison Blu. Despite a significant price premium over Raddison, we decided on Anantara because we loved spending our mornings and afternoons chilling at the pool and Botol Biru bar. We cannot express how disappointed and even cheated we felt when we found out that the main reason we came was completed closed off. The biggest irony is that you offered pool access at Raddison to compensate us! Then we should have stayed at Raddison and saved the additional cost of staying with Anantara! Whilst we appreciate the complimentary dinner - it is really not satisfactory compensation. The pool at 706 had zero view and poor wifi connection - you might as well not offer it at all. We spent our days at beach clubs instead of relaxing at the pool of our very own hotel. We feel cheated as this wasn't made clear when we booked, there was no advice upfront about the renovations. There was no offer to cancel once it was booked. I only found out 1 week before leaving my home when we had no choice but to accept this bad situation. This very very disappointing, and almost disingenuous. We regret that this will be our last stay with your hotel going forward and our only feedback is to be honest and fair to your customers up front.

I went for a solo trip to Anantara and it was the best choice ever. A lot of personal attention, eye for detail and just a magnificent hotel. The hotel team made my stay exceptional. So kind, so helpfull, they felt like family far away from home. Thank you so much to the entire team - I will have to come back!

Stayed in Anantara Uluwatu for 2 night at the Ocean Front Suite with the outdoor bathtub. Although the hotel boasts amazing view, the hotel is a bit dated and the room is not spotless as I got a stain from the bathroom sink. Soap dispenser pump was broken, requested a replacement and took a long while for it to come. Tried making reservation through the hotel WA number but was not responded promptly so came directly to the restaurant instead. Breakfast was nice with some ala-carte made to order option. The The hotel manager met us during our dinner as I shared a formal feedback on the stay. Appreciate the attention and hope that the feedback can be useful for future improvement. Personally will consider staying here again for the amazing view.

We stayed at Anantara Uluwatu expecting a 5-star experience for USD 400 per night, but it turned into one of the most disappointing hotel stays we’ve stayed in. The main infinity pool is closed, the entire 5th floor is under renovation, and there’s constant drilling and hammering from 8 AM until night. None of this was disclosed on the website. We only received an email three days before arrival, when it’s too late to change plans or cancel (because it’s non-refundable). When we asked about it, staff claimed it was mentioned online (it wasn’t) and said we’d been “informed.” That felt dishonest. The rooms are dated, sheets had stains, and there’s a paint and construction smell throughout the property. Construction workers are all around the resort — not exactly the “peaceful cliffside retreat” we booked. Their “solution” to the pool closure was to close off a villa and let everyone share a tiny pool with seven sunbeds. The second solution was using Radisson Blu’s pool next door, which is very inconvenient. Radisson Blu is half the price, why did I book Anantara then? For context, we’ve stayed at other 5-star resorts in Bali for significantly less price, and the difference in cleanliness, service, and overall experience was huge. Anantara Uluwatu feels overpriced, outdated, and mismanaged. Until the renovations are truly done, avoid this hotel: you’ll get no pool, no peace, and no value for what you pay!!!!
