Pool at Cross Paasha Bali Seminyak
The rooftop pool is a standout feature—beautiful, well-maintained, with excellent service and views—though one recent reviewer noted shallow depth in at least one pool area.
Strong positive sentiment is consistent across the entire review timeframe (July 2025 through July 2026). The single significant negative claim (shallow pool depth, claim 66807) appears in early May 2026 and is isolated; no subsequent reviews mention depth concerns. Most recent reviews (May–July 2026) remain consistently positive, suggesting no recent decline or improvement in pool quality.
What the reviews tell us
Rooftop pool is a flagship feature with stunning aesthetics, sea and sunset views, comfortable sun beds, and well-regarded poolside service (claims 63002, 63215, 64523, 68372, 72246).
Pool area offers excellent value and quality comparable to much more expensive hotels, with warm, sunny conditions suitable for daily use and relaxation (claims 64814, 67704, 68080, 73061).
One recent reviewer reported the pool being very shallow, which may limit swimming and recreational options for some guests (claim 66807).
Cabanas and sun bed setup enhance the overall pool experience, with some guests finding the area often available for semi-private enjoyment (claims 63215, 69633, 72863).
Consistently positive sentiment across Australian, UK, US, French, Italian, and New Zealand reviewers, with broad appreciation for aesthetic appeal and practical amenities (claims 66301, 63129, 63493, 64122, 68372).
The pool experience at Cross Paasha Bali Seminyak is overwhelmingly positive across a large, consistent body of recent reviews. The rooftop pool emerges as the hotel's signature amenity, repeatedly praised for its aesthetic beauty, stunning sunset and sea views, comfortable sun beds, and attentive poolside service. Multiple reviewers highlight the cabanas setup and note they used the pool daily for relaxation. The water temperature is reported as warm and sunny. However, one Australian reviewer from early May 2026 cited shallow depth as a drawback, suggesting the main pool area may have limited depth in places. Overall quality is positioned as equivalent to or exceeding what would be expected from more expensive hotels. The pool area is consistently described as a relaxing retreat with good availability for semi-private use at times.
Rooftop pool praised versus main pool depth concern
The vast majority of reviews (33 claims) praise the rooftop pool as beautiful, fabulous, and a standout feature with excellent views and amenities. However, one Australian reviewer (claim 66807, dated 2026-05-05) specifically criticized the pool for being "very shallow," which limits swimming depth. This may refer to a ground-floor or secondary pool area distinct from the rooftop pool, or it could reflect a genuine quality variation. The contradicting negative claim is isolated and not reinforced by other reviews, making it unclear whether shallow depth is a consistent issue or an observation limited to one section or condition on that specific date.
