Lombok Hotels with Bars

I actually cried when we left this villa! I'm truly speechless when it comes to describing the range of emotions and experiences that made up our vacation! It was unforgettable! The warmth and responsiveness of the staff, the excellent location, the cleanliness and comfort, the peace and quiet... I could go on forever! Everything was perfect, without exception – the room, the design, the grounds. The housekeeping was impeccable, not a speck of dust in the room, and the grounds were constantly maintained. The beach is just a stone's throw away, the water is crystal clear, there are lots of turtles, and beautiful fish. We walked at low tide to the turn on the left side, and from there, we started snorkeling along the edge of the reef where turtles gather in groups of 3-5. We even saw a venerable lady about a meter long. It's incredibly beautiful, they look like they're flying. Larger fish also swim in from the deep there. There are cats on the hotel grounds, so don't be lazy, pack a bag of cat food in your suitcase, and they'll thank you with their purrs. Not far from the hotel, there's a cat shelter where they treat sick animals, and also sell food and souvenirs, with the proceeds going towards animal care. Don't miss catching at least one sunrise and watching a sunset; photos simply don't do the beauty justice. After swimming to our heart's content and enjoying delicious dinners, we slept like babies on the comfortable beds, falling asleep and waking up to the sound of birdsong. It was a vacation for the mind and body, feeling as if we were in paradise. A special thank you to the staff who create this incredible atmosphere.

Sea Shell Hotel Gili is a small and cozy hotel where we stayed for two nights during our trip to the Gili Islands. The hotel is located inside the island rather than directly on the beach, but the ocean is still within easy walking distance — just a short walk to the left side of the island. Considering the size of Gili, the location is actually quite convenient and quiet. Our room was spacious with a large comfortable bed, perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. The bathroom was also quite big with good plumbing — hot water was always available and the water pressure was strong. Overall everything was clean and well maintained. One small thing that felt a bit strange was that we were given only one towel per person. If a place positions itself as a hotel rather than a guesthouse, it would be nice to have at least two towels per guest. Another detail we didn’t love was the drinking water system. Water is provided in a jug rather than sealed plastic bottles. While it may be more eco-friendly, personally I feel a bit more comfortable when the drinking water comes in sealed bottles. The hotel has a large swimming pool which looks nice, although we didn’t end up using it — when you’re on Gili, swimming in the ocean feels like the obvious choice. Breakfast was probably the most disappointing part of the stay. There is a menu, but in reality there aren’t many options to choose from. On the second morning about half of the menu was unavailable when we tried to order, and no explanation was given. Amsterdam - Good cafe near the hotel :) in the end we sorted out our breakfast there Overall, Sea Shell Hotel Gili is a decent option if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay with spacious rooms and a good bathroom. It’s not perfect, but for a short stay on the island it worked well enough.

The resort is located next to pier which is very convient for travellers to and from other island in Indonesia. The site was huge and nicely decorated. The pool was equipped with a volleyball net and water slide which is perfect for everyone. They have daily activities arranged to entertain guests, eg yoga, fun golf etc. A lot of Breakfast options and the food was delicious. The only problem we got was a bit of drainage smell at the toilet and the drainage was slow. All the all, we would love to visit again.

Location is great.  It is located on the quieter part of the island if that's what you're looking for.  It is 100 m from the beach.  Although not located on the west coast, sunset can still be viewed from the beach closest to the hotel.  A few restaurants closed by, although they are more the upscale ones. 10 min bike-ride to the town, easily doable with our kids, around 10.  Advise here would be to stick to the routes proposed by Google.  Those are the main streets which are well lighted.  If you venture into some other streets, there is no guarantee of lights and road conditions, and that can get challenging after dark. The hotel is simply lovely. We had a villa.  The pool was great to have a dip, and for the kids to have some splash fun but not for swimming, it's too small.  The room was lovely, very neat and tidy, plenty of space for the 4 of us.  The kids loved the outdoor bathroom with fish pond. The breakfast was really good and tasty.  The only complaint I have is the portion.  It's ordered from the breakfast menu, the portion is just sufficient.  For those who prefer to have a bigger breakfast, it wasn't really enough. We forgot to pack torch lights for the bike.  Only on our last night, the personnel at the hotel offered lights for our bikes upon seeing us going out when it was getting dark.  At check-in, no one mentioned to us that those are available to borrow.  The conditions of the bikes were indeed not the best, multiple times we encountered problems with the bike for our kid.  Luckily it always happened when we had someone nearly who could give us a lift back.  Only on the 3rd day, after having to fix the bike twice, a different bike was given to us. All in all, we absolutely enjoyed our stay there, and would consider returning if we ever go back to Gili T!

Beautiful hotel with big pool directly at the beach Sadly as many beaches in Lombok there is quite a bit plastic trash on it. The hotel could clean up a bit more, even though it's much cleaner than most public beaches we have seen so far. The rooms are clean, comfortable with AC + balcony and beds are good. The hotel restaurant is very good and with reasonable food prices compared to other restaurants in hotels. Alcoholic beverages are a bit pricey but they have a nice variety of cocktails and longdrinks, my favorite was the Arak Attack. Staff is very friendly and helpful :) Room for improvement: - only one single toilet for the whole pool area + restaurant is not enough imho. - gym equipment is very rudimentary (almost no weights) and half of the machines don't even work (running machine for example) - there is plenty of staff but sometimes you have to chase them to order/ask for something, they could be much more pro active with proper training SUMMARY: All in all we had a very pleasant stay (which we actually extended) and the negative points I listed only as constructive feedback that can easily be fixed. We would definitely come again, terima kasih =)

location: 4.5/5 - not far from the airport. about 40 mins to an hour. secluded. perfect for staying in and spending time and money on the services they provided service: 4.9/5 - the staff are friendly, attentive, helpful all that without being ‘too much’. any requests must be liaised through whatsapp, since they don’t have a phone in the villa, they will reply within 10 minutes. the 0.1 minus was bc i put a special request and they didn’t bother to do it. tried to book a massage appointment last minute too bad they have no availability. food: dinner 5/5 - prices after tax are still very affordable. had steak & frites for less than rm60 (Malaysia could neverrrrr). cocktails selections are good and strong. breakfast 4.5 - wide selections but nothing extraordinary. they have eggs station but the eggs were bland. your normal breakfast buffet spread mix of both asians and western price: a little on the higher side and i’ve spent a fair share of staying in nice resorts around Lombok but no complaints because i know what i wanted

This is an excellent place with the best parties I've seen on Gili. Every day there's a huge pool with diving platforms, a show, and a DJ every evening – it's atmospheric and beautiful. The beach is great, and the sunsets are amazing! Electric bike rentals are available right here. Breakfasts are typical for a 3-star hotel, nothing fancy, but you won't go hungry. The hotel grounds are well-maintained with palm trees and bungalows, all good. Cleaning is decent. The open-air shower and toilet, with just walls, create a very cool vibe. We went snorkeling, which was good, and fishing, though we didn't catch anything. We stayed on the island for four days, and it's a super romantic place with its own unique vibe. We explored the whole island and absolutely loved it. In the evenings, we also watched movies on the beach at the open-air cinema right there. The food is excellent too. I recommend both the hotel and the entire island to everyone!

Overall stay was just normal, but really was not good what I was expecting, but there are many other great resort to stay. Reception was not really professional and they ask one question repeatedly three/four times and on the other hand I never think they really take care of cleaning and hygienic.

I was worried because there were many bad reviews on other sites, but when I went, things had improved. The pool was cleaned by staff every morning. The tap water was clean. The air conditioning worked well. The deluxe pool room has a small refrigerator. Drinking water is available at the front desk, you can drink as much as you like and bring it to your room in a glass pot. Breakfast is served buffet-style from 7:30 AM at the shabu-shabu restaurant by the beach, which seems to be part of the same group. There were various dishes, and I enjoyed eating while looking at the sea.

Good hotel on the beach front and near all the bars, clubs and restaurants. Service was good, they offered welcome drinks and help with carrying my luggage upstairs. The pool is sometimes used for the divers so it can be a bit of an inconvenience to swim/relax. They have a smaller pool at the back of the hotel but it looked like it hadn’t had a good clean in a while. Overall, a nice hotel and worth the money.
