Pink Coco Uluwatu: Why I Came Back (and Why You Might Want To)

Written By Ann Meshcheri

Some places just stay with you. You leave, time passes, you travel more… and somehow you keep thinking about that one hotel. For me, that place is Pink Coco Uluwatu – Cool Adults Only.

This year marked my second stay at Pink Coco, and coming back felt incredibly special—because I wasn’t booking it out of convenience anymore. I was booking it because I genuinely fell in love with it the first time.

How I Found Pink Coco (Without Really Knowing Bali)

When I first booked Pink Coco last year, I’ll be honest: I knew nothing about Bali. No neighborhoods, no zones, no deep research. I’m not the traveler who spends weeks studying maps and blogs. I opened a booking website, zoomed in on a beach that looked good to me, and searched for hotels nearby.

Pink Coco popped up.

I liked the location. I liked the photos. And yes—we all know photos don’t always tell the full story. I booked it with zero expectations.

Fast forward to arrival day: about a 40-minute drive from Ngurah Rai (Denpasar) Airport, winding through Uluwatu roads… and then suddenly—you arrive.

 

First Impressions: Color, Design, and Instant Mood Lift

Pink Coco is insanely beautiful.

The hotel is unapologetically pink, surrounded by lush greenery, tropical plants, and vibrant colors everywhere you look. The design is bold, playful, and joyful—but still elegant and calming. In Bali’s tropical climate, the colors feel even richer and more alive.

The moment you step onto the property, your mood shifts. It’s impossible not to feel lighter, happier, and relaxed.

My Room: Pool View, Balcony, and Nature Vibes

I stayed in a first-floor room with a private balcony overlooking the pool, and it was perfect.

  • A few steps from the pool

  • A private balcony to lounge during the day

  • Peaceful, quiet, and incredibly comfortable

The room itself was beautiful, but what I loved most was how connected it felt to nature. The design allows fresh air and tropical sounds in, rather than sealing you off from the environment. It felt immersive, not isolated.

The bathroom was spacious, the shower was amazing, and everything was spotless. The bed? Top-notch. Extremely comfortable. Honestly, I didn’t spend much time in the room beyond sleeping—but every night’s sleep was perfect.

Pink Coco Uluwatu — a stylish adults-only boutique hotel in Bali, defined by bold pink architecture, rich tropical colors, serene pool areas, and effortless lifestyle moments. A place that feels as good as it looks.
 

This is the actual room tour of the place where I stayed. No staged photos, no wide-angle tricks—just the real room exactly as it was during my stay. Judge for yourself, but I honestly think it’s amazing. From the balcony overlooking the pool to the open, nature-connected design and the incredibly comfortable bed, everything felt thoughtful, beautiful, and relaxing. It’s one of those rooms where you immediately feel at ease the moment you walk in.

 

Breakfast Done Right (No Buffets Here)

One of the things I really appreciated: no buffet breakfast.

Instead, Pink Coco offers a menu-style breakfast, which I personally love. You choose:

  • One main dish

  • Unlimited appetizers

  • Coffee, tea, and drinks

The menu is extensive and inclusive:

  • Vegan options

  • Meat and fish

  • Dairy and non-dairy

  • Sweet and savory

I tried several dishes over my stay, and every single one was delicious. Quality, presentation, and flavor were consistently excellent.

 
Pink Coco Uluwatu — a cool adults-only escape where vibrant pink design, lush tropical greenery, poolside moments, and laid-back Bali energy come together. A perfect mix of boutique hotel aesthetics and lifestyle moments.

Service That Actually Feels Personal

The service deserves a special mention.

The staff genuinely cares. You can feel that they’re trying to make your stay special—not because it’s their job, but because they want to. Little surprises throughout the stay made it even more memorable:

  • Cookies or ice cream treats during the day

  • Thoughtful gestures in the evenings

  • Warm, discreet, professional service at all times

Nothing felt forced. Everything felt natural and kind.

Spa, Treatments, and Special Experiences

Pink Coco also offers excellent add-ons, and I took full advantage of them.

  • Spa on-site: I did a full body scrub, massage, and nail service—and was extremely happy with all of it

  • Guest discounts at the spa (a great bonus)

  • Floating experience: I booked a floating dinner instead of breakfast for my birthday

That floating dinner was unforgettable—shrimp, champagne, desserts, beautifully arranged, and surprisingly reasonably priced. A perfect celebration moment.

 

Location: Walkable, Lively, and Perfectly Balanced

The hotel is located about 10 minutes from Padang Padang Beach, which was one of the main reasons I booked it initially—and it did not disappoint.

Around the hotel, you’ll find:

  • Fantastic restaurants with amazing food

  • Cute boutiques and shops selling jewelry, clothes, and souvenirs

  • Cafés, small local spots, and plenty of dining options

The area feels lively but not chaotic. You have everything nearby, yet the hotel itself remains peaceful and quiet.

Final Thoughts: Would I Recommend Pink Coco?

Absolutely. Without hesitation.

Pink Coco is:

  • Clean, quiet, and beautifully maintained

  • Stylish without being pretentious

  • Relaxed, fun, and full of positive energy

  • Perfect for solo travelers, couples, friends, or even family trips

If you’re looking to stay in Uluwatu at a reasonable price while still getting an unforgettable experience, Pink Coco is 100% worth considering.

I came back because I loved it the first time—and I already know it won’t be my last stay.
