    One of the most instammable place during my last trip to Ubud, Folk Pool & Gardens gave such a memorable and a really soothing experience after a long day for me. Since it is my first destination after i arrived in Bali, i didn't get the chance to unpack my swimshorts to try on the infamous pool. Having said that, i tried dipping in my feet, and the water temperature is just perfect. Located just a few hundred meters away from the Monkey Forest, in non pandemic situation, i don't think it is allowed to park anywhere near the place as it is a two way street and there are no parking signs everywhere, so you might need to park somewhere else. But when i visit there, i did saw a lot of cars parked nearby. The place has such a different look and feel during the day and night as can be seen in the pictures i uploaded. Hence it is recommended to visit the place around 4-5 PM if you want to enjoy both vibes. They have movie night program daily and free flow popcorn package to accompany it. Now, to the food. I feel like i'm getting my money's worth of food and drink if not more. Their satay definitely has one of the best sauces i ever tasted. The nutty taste combined with a hint of spice and acid from lime creates such a refreshing and bold flavors in your mouth. And the fried rice is full of toppings (veggies and chicken). The meat is tender and very al dente (i know it's a word to describe pasta, but my point is, it's has that some sort of springy texture that's really nice when you bite it). The Peach & Rosemary tea are also nice. I'm not sure if the Rosemary syrup they use is homemade or not, but it's real nice. The staffs are all very affable, polite, and attentive. Overall, really enjoyed my whole experience there, and will definitely come back to enjoy the pool and their high tea!

    Very nice place. The food was amazing, I ordered padthai and it was awesome. The waitress very kind. They put a movie in the back part and you can lay down drinking something. Like this place!

    A great place to eat and spend the day! You can use the pool with any purchase, and they provide towels. They also offer delicious natural squeezed juices.

    Folk Pool & Garden is my first go-to-list restaurant to visit in Ubud. They have pools, restaurants, and also movie nights. I spent 4 hours in total there. 😂🤣 It was raining when we had movie nights, and the waitress gave us umbrella. What a nice service. Don't forget to order the Happy Hour drink guys ! Worth the price and taste 😉😉

    Like an oasis hidden in a packed street, located close to Monkey Forest. The daybeds have a minimum payment of 300k, which is low compared to other places. It was a rather rainy day, and unfortunately the daybed's roof was leaking in a few spots. The cocktails were good, but I felt there was not much alcohol in them even when requested strong. The chicken pizza was so-so, alright taste but not crispy.

    We dropped in to Folk Pool and Gardens tonight and had a very enjoyable time. There was a nice chilled atmosphere, the staff were really friendly and the music was great. Everyone (guests) looked like they were having a great time. We had a few cocktails and a few small dishes to share by the pool. I recommend the 'tropical margarita' and 'lost in paradise' cocktails. This is a great place to chill and have a chat with friends. I will definitely go back again.

    Visited this place for Halloween movie night! We watched Ghost busters on the sofas and had the best pizza and chips in Ubud. Cocktails were amazing too! Staff were great and the location was dead central. 100% recommend.

    We booked a day bed at 250,000 IDR, and were so excited for the movie night. Arrived around 5pm and was directed to a day bed that was positioned at an awkward position. Requested to the crew if we can move to an empty day bed that was nearer to the screening but was told it was reserved. Hence, there is no first come first serve policy although we came early and make a rather advance booking - weeks before our trip to Ubud. Food tasted okay, portion not huge, and relatively expensive considering we already paid for the day bed. For the day bed there is also different type of roofing. Some of the day beds has bigger roofing while some has smaller roofing. Since we were assigned the smaller roofing, we were drenched under the moderate rain half-way through the movie. Overall, the experience was okay, but it did not meet our expectation considering the price paid.

    What a stellar way to spend the afternoon and early evening! Pool was exactly what I needed, total oasis in the heart of downtown Ubud. Hendra was amazing! Great service, great personality, fun and created a very welcoming vibe for myself and my friend (even spoke French!). Sangria was on point (definite buzz!), pizza and prawn rolls were delicious, music was groovy and vibey. This is a place not to miss for a chill afternoon, does not disappoint! Thank you Hendra for making our afternoon fun!

    Super chilled and comfortable place to relax off the busy Main Street of Ubud. Staff were amazing, always around when you wanted to order food and drinks. The food was really tasty and we loved the ice teas. Great music and the pool is just perfect!

    Came here for drinks in the evening, beautiful relaxing atmosphere with cute cinema screening on the lawn. Good cocktails, pool water looked clean and clear. Will return on our next trip to Ubud for sure.

    We had such a lovely afternoon here, had the place to ourselves for a few hours. Happy hour is all day and their pizza was sensational. We would have stayed longer if they didn’t cut the music off to play a film, it went from enjoyable music to really crackly loud movie, considering it was a Friday night we were sad to leave as we had planned on spending the whole day here so lost a star only for that reason. Would recommend!

    A beautiful pool restaurant in the centre of Ubud. My accommodation didn't have a pool so I visited on a typical hot Bali day to swim and have lunch. I ended up staying until dinner. The food is western, with a few Mediterranean choices. I had the mezze platter with pita bread and dips. The pool has floatable mattresses on which I took an afternoon nap. It was fun and relaxing.

    Awesome pool bar off the side of the main road. Kimchi fried rice was delicious. We hired a day bed for 250K which was on top of food and drinks. We easily spent 6 hours there.

  • 5/5 Jessica W. 2 months ago on Google • 14 reviews New
    Amazing service! 😍 The waiter spoke French, English, Japan, Indonesian, Balinese - what an amazing job! Food was extraordinary, the place was gorgeous especially during the sunset. Cocktails 5 a 7 had a great choice and the food was simply Devine - great vegetarian options ✨

  • 5/5 Maria Christine A. 6 months ago on Google
    Lovely place - perfect to rent for a private pool party. They hold movie screenings at night - can be good or bad depending if you’re fine with the background noise. Food is good - loved the jackfruit roll in particular. Pool is quite narrow but if you’re comfortable swimming in close proximity to other people then it should be okay

  • 5/5 Pia Moll M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool place for daytime or evening poolside drinks or meal. Great atmosphere and music although it can get very busy and excessively touristy at moments. The food us tasty and service good.

  • 5/5 Aline A. 2 years ago on Google
    Hidden gem in central Ubud. Great size of pool with garden, nice place to unwind, relax and chill. They have good selection of menu as well, and the food was delicious. Excellent service from the staff. must visit when you're in Ubud.

  • 4/5 Lisa W. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice option for day use of pool with swim up bar. It's a tad rundown post covid- but music was good and sun lounger comfy. Bigger pool a d more space than our small hotel.

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 8 months ago on Google
    It's a lovely place with a great athmosphere to chill after a day of travel. The beds cost 250k. The food is rather average.

  • 5/5 Fajrina R. 1 year ago on Google
    Talk about a hidden gem! We rode past this place a few times and only discovered it after two weeks of being in Bali. 😅 i think it’s just as pretty at night, I loved the lights and music, extremely chill vibes around. Food wasn’t bad too. We had the ayam taliwang which was delish, truffle fries and the curry chicken pizza was okay. Loved the Monkey Forest and Tirta mocktails which were really refreshing after the heaty food.

  • 5/5 Jaimie N. 4 months ago on Google
    If you are looking for a relaxing pool club with a jungle feel, great drinks and amazing atmosphere - this is for you. Folk is a must do every time we come to Bali, worth booking a day bed in advance!

  • 5/5 JAMES W. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice and quiet place, away from the road, like a little oasis. Food & drinks are reasonably priced I think. The pool is 75k PP and includes a towel. Wish we had known about the movie nights and come for that.

  • 5/5 Adam C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool hidden gem, down a side alley behind one of the buildings on Monkey Forest road. Pool isnt heated but is refreshing in the heat of the mid day sun. We (a family of 4) paid for a cabana/bed by the pool (I think it was 200k) and were able to drop into the water from where we sat. Swim up bar is a nice touch. Food was really nice too. BOGOF on select cocktails all day. Would recommend a visit if you're in the area!

    Went there during my stay in Ubud and what makes it special is the setting at during the movie night… gorgeous! The food is ok but that would not be my reason to go there (portion quite small and had some chocolate dessert that wasn’t great. Maybe try the drinks instead. They do offer bookings to rent a daybed to enjoy their pool during daytime if your place doesn’t have a pool (priced at more than 200K) or lounge chairs (at 100K) but it is not redeemable on food and beverage unfortunately. So that you know.

  • 4/5 Li-Sun G. 1 year ago on Google
    Hidden gem pool Day Club in Ubud. Loved the atmosphere and size of this day club. For food, we ordered the GADO GADO and Nasi Goreng, both dishes were tasty. Drinks were good, but we felt like the alcohol was watered down (4/5 Stars) My husband had 4- Long Island iced teas and after 4- of them, you should be feeling pretty buzzed and he didn't feel anything. We still had such a great time here and the staff were all very friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to swim without the obnoxious crowd.

  • 4/5 Sarah 6 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    So glad we found this place. We hired a cabana which was value for money could slide in and out of the pool. Food was tasty, however, ribs were rather tough needs slow cooking further because you could not even pull it off the bone. The rest of the food was top notch. Would highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Johanna Chow E. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice pool bar, although smaller than expected. -1 star for several reasons: I made a booking weeks in advance but reservation was never captured. There’s also different seating options (beside the pool, sofa, deck chairs etc) but there’s no explanation on their website so you go in clueless. Do note that there is a fee for using the pool and the sun beds by the pool. Nonetheless, place is beautifully decorated. Drinks we quite decent! I think they have a buy 1 get 1 promo. We weren’t interested in their menu so we asked if we can order food from the Liap Liap balinese restaurant up in front. Food was great!!! Special mentions to the grilled fish, soto ayam and the free vegetable fritter they gave.

  • 5/5 Michelle J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibe and surprisingly excellent food! The vegan sushi was fantastic and a stand out. Tacos, pizza and cocktails were great too!!

  • 5/5 Ugen T. 9 months ago on Google
    Must visit in Ubud. Amazing atmosphere with equally awesome service. Kudos to INDIRA for treating us with such a great service. He is awesome host, took care of all our needs. You made us visit this place again.

    Nice pool and garden for relaxing all day after trekking Campuhan Ridge Walk. Open until 10PM. Just park the car off street, the security guy will look after the car which actually not allowed for parking car

👍 Ordinary food in a spectacular location, in the middle of rice paddy. The crispy duck is really crispy, a bit too dry. The sate lilit is delicious. The gurami goreng bit bland / tasteless. Nor the sauce / sambal nor the fish have any taste. It also would be better if they have soup in their menu to...
