Alila Uluwatu: A Must-Visit Hotel in Bali

📌How can you miss the luxury hotel on the cliffs of Uluwatu when in Bali? Alila Uluwatu, with its excellent design, is loved by many tourists and has become one of the must-visit hotels on the island. After years of longing, I finally had the chance to check it out. 📌Alila Uluwatu is located at the southernmost tip of Bali, featuring an all-villa design. It took nearly 1h to get there by taxi from the airport. Booked through Global Guests, since it's a villa reservation, there's no upgrade, but the service was great from the start. Upon sitting down, we were served drinks, snacks, and towels, and then taken to the villa by a small car, where the butler was already waiting at the door. 📌The villa is 290㎡, very spacious, with welcome gifts already arranged. There are both indoor and outdoor showers, with separate amenities for him/her. Outside, besides the lounge chairs, there's also a large sofa chair. The pool is not big but sufficient. It's cooler in the early morning and evening in June and July, and it's not cold to swim during the day. 📌The most exquisite part of the hotel is the infinity pool and the adjacent 'bird's nest'. As soon as you sit down, the pool staff lay out towels, bring a small basket with towels, drinking water, sunscreen, etc., and they're nice enough to help take photos. The only downside is that it's too sunny during the day, so be sure to do your sunscreen work in advance. 📌The 'bird's nest' has now been turned into a sunset bar, where many people come for afternoon tea and to watch the sunset in the afternoon. The weather is not hot, with a gentle breeze and the sound of the waves from the Indian Ocean below the cliff, it's incredibly pleasant. I could stay there all afternoon... 📌The hotel has two restaurants, one serving Western cuisine and the other Indonesian. Being in Indonesia, of course, you have to try the Indonesian food, which is very exquisite and tastes good. The service is also pretty good. The only thing is when asked whether to drink regular water or sparkling water, I chose sparkling water, and they actually charged for it, about 50rmb, which they should have mentioned was not free. If I knew it was charged, I would have ordered something else to drink! 📌Breakfast is at the Western restaurant, with the best views along the edge, so you have to get there early. Breakfast is entirely a la carte, and while there aren't many options, the taste is okay. Each table gets a large plate of bread, which easily fills you up. The whole experience was great, you get what you pay for, and Alila Uluwatu is worth it, recommended!!
