Grun Resort Uluwatu

I like this place so much!! I definitely come back again if we have Bali trip next time. There are all facilities and everything inside the resort. All staffs are very nice and warm welcome us. Recommended!!

Top notch experience in this eco friendly resort : super design of the studio cabin as well as the 180° pool. Feels like European design in the heart of the jungle. Staff and management super friendly and reachable, will definitely come back Bonus points for the food, the eco friendly setup and complimentary yoga session

What I liked: - Wonderfully secluded location and very quiet. Very peaceful environment with the sounds of nature around you. - we stayed in treehouse C which was spacious and beautifully designed - Pool is stunning both in terms of its design and outlook with views over all of Uluwatu and to the coastline beyond - Guest Services highly responsive on WhatsApp - staff granted me late check out so I could do a work video call from my room before departing - the included breakfast in Octagon restaurant was delicious and offers many options. Charging for a second juice seemed a bit cheap though - the food at La Cima restaurant is excellent - the staff, particularly the cleaning staff, are very kind and sweet What I didn’t like: - curtains in the room are not blockout and there are lights in the garden which remain on at night (cannot be controlled or turned off from within the room) so light shines through the window which can make it a little hard to sleep. On the second night we messaged the staff about this and they covered the lights in the garden for us which made it a lot better - some of the restaurant prices are very expensive such as the smoothies and fresh juices - service in La Cima restaurant was a bit hit and miss. Staff spend a lot of time chatting to each other and not paying attention to the customers. At lunch one day it took multiple goes to get the attention of the staff to order - we saw this happen to the table across from us also. We had to ask one staff member 3 times before he turned the overhead fans on in the restaurant (on a 33 degrees celsius day!) - we had dinner by the pool each night and the staff would close the bill after each order. This was quite annoying as we had to open and sign a new bill (often with wet hands while we were in the pool) each time we wanted to order more drinks or dessert. I would understand this if we weren’t staying at the hotel but we were hotel guests and the staff knew who we were and which treehouse we were staying in. If the staff were worried about us going back to our room and not signing the bill they could tell us at the start of dinner that they’ll keep the bill open but we need to walk down from the pool down into the restaurant to sign the bill before leaving - we would have been happy to do this - the staff placed lanterns beside us on our first night having dinner by the pool. On the second night they didn’t give us lanterns and we ate in the dark. Quite an inconsistent experience - I had a couple of cold showers at night after returning from the pool at 9pm - the hot water seems to turn off early - no TV in the room. I get it’s more of a natural retreat however my partner and I had been waiting for our holiday to watch some movies together but couldn’t do this at the Grun
