Review of Renaissance Uluwatu – Highlights
- The resort is located in Uluwatu, which is the southern part of the island, home to the most beautiful white sand beaches and stunning landscape. The hotel is a 30-40 minute drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) airport depending on traffic.
- Upon arrival at the hotel you are welcomed by a large open air lobby with a stunning view over the peninsula. There is a lobby bar, concierge, buggy service, small store and travel agency on the lobby level as well.
- There are two large pools at the hotel, both overlooking the ocean and cliffs. Along with a gym and full service spa.
- While the hotel is not located directly on the beach, perched on top of the hills in Uluwatu, they operate their own beach club called Roosterfish. The hotel offers complimentary shuttle service to and from the beach club during the day. The beach club Roosterfish offers a full restaurant as well as private pool with loungers and direct access to a gorgeous pristine white sand beach.
- There a quite a few suites at the hotel and they are stunning. Very large and generous in terms of layout, with large seating areas, a full wet bar as well as a very large walk in bathroom and shower area.
- The suite is also full of all connectivity and charging ports you require as well as has all standard amenities, including complimentary water, which is restocked on request.
- The resort also has its own pottery studio in house which is located next to their all day dining restaurant Clay. This is a great experience for all guests to take home a souvenir from their travels to make their own bowl or mug.
- Speaking of the restaurant, the breakfast is fantastic, large selection covering Indian and Asian as well as the standard Western American offerings. All excellent quality and cooked on demand based on your preference. Highlights are the iced coffees as well as their pastry section which is bountiful and very creative, as well as the fresh juice station.
Review of Renaissance Uluwatu – Things to Note
- The hotel is spread over many levels and the room numbers do not necessary denote what floor you are staying on, so it can be a challenge to orient yourself at first. For example to get to our suite, we had to take 4 separate elevators from the lobby to reach the room. You could of course also take a buggy which drops you off directly near your room and takes just 5 minute.
- This is more of a leisure property so the rooms and suites are not fully geared towards working professionals.
Review of Renaissance Uluwatu – Tips
- There are plenty of benefits for Marriott Bonvoy members from upgrades, early check in, late check out, free high speed internet and more. As a Marriott elite member you can choose either 1,000 welcome points, daily breakfast or a welcome amenity. If you are staying more than one night, the best value would be the free daily breakfast for two.
- Download Grab or Gojek app to book and hire bikes and cars to get around easily.
- Famous beach clubs are within 15-25 minutes from the hotel depending on traffic such as Ulu Beach Club, Sundays Beach Club and Single Finn. They typically open around mid day and close at 10pm, with the exception of some days where they stay open till late for parties once or twice a week.
