PinkCoco Uluwatu - Constant Surprises & for Cool Adults Only

A very unique hotel. Not new at all. The rosy style is an attempt to surprise upon check-in. The next day it becomes clear that the staff does not always cope with their tasks. The reception staff creates more of a semblance of efficiency, although they very quickly forget about requests, make mistakes in the information received. The advantages are good cuisine. Stylish menu, fast service in the restaurant. Also a convenient swimming pool with pleasant free goodies from the staff. That's where the advantages end. The disadvantages are a terrible location by the road. There is no parking for taxis. If a car drives up to the hotel to drop off passengers, then all traffic on the road is blocked. An area for bikes, which you hear all night. The hotel is on a slight rise, which causes the heart-rending sounds of transport going uphill. Behind the hotel are all the delights of the local residency with roosters, cows, their sounds and smells, slightly diluting the smell of exhaust fumes from the road. The beach is a fake. A small sandy patch with a paid umbrella. 250-300 square meters of rookery for 200 people. All under the supervision of local guardians of intrusive service from the educators of local monkeys. Entrance to the beach is paid. The descent to the beach is a quest for flexibility, the ascent is a quest for cardiovascular endurance. I do not understand how this place can be called a beach and why child bloggers rank this place in some tops of Bali beaches. This is not a place to relax. Unless you were born and raised in a yurt beyond the Arctic Circle and suddenly teleported to Bali .. If I came to Bali for the first time and ended up in this place, I would never come to the island again. A terrible area. Thank God that this was the fourth train to Bali and there is something to compare with. Still, the calling card of Bali is Ubud. Lived in Ubud - visited Bali. Uluwatu is the bottom of relaxation. Two days of staying at the hotel can be tolerated, but five days is money thrown away, time wasted, illusions about the absoluteness of a vacation in Bali dispelled. As for the hotel, the price for accommodation is twice as high. The pink style does not cover the discomfort of staying in this area.

Everything was good, the welcome, the location... except the bedding. I asked for extra sheets to be able to sleep on the sofa (10 cm thick mattress placed on a concrete construction) my back hurt so much.
