Best Hotels near teluk awang fishing port, Lombok

We stopped by at tunak cottage to have a lunch and we were positively surprised about the quality and price of the food. in top of it we had a great view and extremely friendly staff who could speak very good English. We could have the opportunity to see the rooms and wehave decided to spend couple of days in this resort. we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The food was amazing. Whatever we ate was unbelievably tasty. In their menu they have lots of seafood and fish which was perfect for us. The kitchen in the restaurant and the rooms were very clean. The staff and the hotel manager were very friendly and hospitality is very important for them. The Tunak Cottage belongs to village people so only village people work there. Not the money but how the people feel at their stay is important for them and this is their biggest mission. One evening we could go with the hotel and manager and with the staff to the beach and could catch fish when there was low tide. This was one of the most amazing experience during our journey in lombok. They also organized for us octopus and prepared it perfectly to eat. Mili also took me to the village and I could meet her family. We just enjoyed our stay very much and the hotel manager and the great and friendly staff made our stay very special. We very much thank to Mila, Simi and the great hotel and manager and all the staff. I hope we can come back again and stay at Tunak Cottage longer and enjoy the great food there.

By now you’ve probably looked at reviews and all the stunning online photos—as we did. And you’re probably imagining a lush, beautiful, active lifestyle boutique resort with healthy Ayurvedic food, surf beaches lapping the shore and a yoga studio. This image couldn’t be more wrong. Picture instead a bus stop from the 1960’s on the side of a disused road. This is the feel of the entry restaurant that sits atop a largely arid hillside with none of the lovely plants pictured on the site. There were a couple of palm trees over dying grass, concrete and sand. The photos are so far from the reality that we thought the place was abandoned long ago—and perhaps taken over by squatters who thought they could make a fast buck. We were honestly frightened by what might happen next. While it does indeed seem to be a hotel, the photos and descriptions are so far from reality that we walked around in a stupor trying to sort out the cognitive dissonance. Could it be that the resort that constantly touts itself as a yoga surf resort might have neither yoga nor surf? Not even a real beach? No….couldn’t be. Right? The owner kept asking us what we expected to find and the truth was that the photos were so far from reality that it was hard to even know where to begin. We said we expected a private beach-so he pointed to a fabricated sandy area roughly the side of two kids sandboxes with a metal fence around it. We expected five surf beaches—instead there isn’t any sandy beach at all and the surf spots are accessed by boat for a few. We expected yoga—he assured us there is yoga (though it’s hard to see where he could be hiding it) and other reviewers say the yoga consists of a mat and a spot to practice on your own. We expected plants and trees and a hang out area by the pool. Instead the large pool was empty and the little ones were so full of algae that I wondered whether the “EcoResort” was gathering carbon credits off the green pool growth. It’s a very good thing that we didn’t pay in advance, since we were able to pay only a day’s rate and leave quickly. But the place is so remote that we literally lost five hours of vacation getting there, touring it and getting back to where we started. Not to mention enough money that we could have stayed at a luxury hotel on the island for the amount we tossed away in a rush to leave. The owner was kind enough to offer us tea and let us use his wifi to find another hotel—a kindness we very much appreciated—but our anger grew when we finally settled at a lovely hotel and compared our photos with the ones online. What an utter misrepresentation. We’re uploading the photos here—the one with sand under the shadow of a palm tree and a metal fence—THAT is the beach. We both nearly died laughing when he pointed it out, but the owner was clearly upset and we were just trying to get out without a massive conflict. Zoom in on the pool with water in it (as opposed to the one they were filling with a garden hose) and you might get a sens

Friendly owner. Salam dari malaysia mas. Sesuai buat solo traveller

This hotel is the best in Lombok. If you are looking for a nice place to stay by the beach, pls just book this hotel. I was served by Eric and he even remembered my name! I was there on Christmas day and there are so many guests. His act definitely made me remember this place positively. Will recommend to friends.

This hotel is beautiful.!! The rooms could be cleaned better but we had a great stay. The pool is nice and the rooms are spacious and private. We would return. The hotel isn’t in Kuta so be prepared to hire a motorbike if you want to leave for the day. There is also a kettle in the room and free water. As someone who is Gluten free there was food available but the staff couldn’t understand the concept.

Pros: friendly staff, quiet resort. Cons: old and run down. Kids club was a joke. Duplo pieces were dirty and dusty. Basically it was set up by the pool as they are redoing their old space so the only toys they had were dirty and broken. Nothing was really organized. Son was excited for water gun games and the water guns were all broken. Scavenger hunt entailed handing beige Easter eggs within the small surrounding by the pool. Very disappointed. Food was overpriced and bad. Drinks also overpriced. We learned this when we hired a car to a nice resort and beach 20 minutes away and discovered the food was delicious, price was 1/3 of this one and the sand and beach there was much better. It’s an old run down hotel. We say it’s quiet but really there wasn’t many people there. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Innit consists of 7 modern villas located on a nice beach of southern-eastern Lombok. It is very isolated location so it is advised to take this into account prior to booking. There is literally nothing apart from the hotel and the hotel restaurant. No shops, nothing. You can’t even go for a walk after dinner or so because you’re really in the middle of nowhere :-) However if you’re looking for a total relax, the it is the right place to be! The first day there was very quiet, we didn’t meet nearly any other guests. The next day was rather busy since there was a group shooting some commerical so the total group incl. crew was about 18 people. That’s probably not what Innit is built for because e.g. for dinner we had to wait for more than one hour to get our food…. Food was in general really good, both for breakfasts or lunches/dinners. Prices were reasonable considering you have no other choice anyway. Service was mostly very good, we just found it strange that they never served the whole family (4 people) together but were bringing the dishes one by one (sometimes even delivering the side dish after we ate our main course, sometimes the soup arrived after the main course etc.). Coffee was terrible. While nearly anywhere in Bali/Gili we got an excellent espresso/capuccino, in Innit there is no proper coffe machine, just some sort of home coffee pod machine from which the coffee doesn’t taste good at all… such a pity Innit doesn’t invest in a proper coffee machine… The villas are nice but you can see inside that some parts are already stained/worn out. However in general it is a nice modern accomodation with beautiful sunrise/sunset views. Villa was kept spotless by our housekeeper who was very kind and polite. What didn’t we like at Innit? 1. The issues with the AC - it happened twice during our short stay (3 days) that there were a power cut-offs resulting in AC not working (they have a generator but we were told it takes time for AC to restart and work properly). One night it was really hot in the room but to be fair the Guest Relation staff were always accessible via Whatsapp and were trying to solve the situation as much as they could. Basically whenever we needed something, the Whatsap response was nearly immediate. Thumbs up! 2. Another dislike was the pool - don’t get me wrong - it looks great, it is big but the water was super hot. Considering it was very hot and humid outside I’d expect the pool to be cooler to provide the escape from the sund and humidity… 3. Beach in front of the hotel was nice and it was cleaned of plastic garbage every day. Unfortuantely the see was still rather dirty so we did not swim in it (because of the algae and pieces of plastics in it). Also the beach right next to the hotel was full of plastics. Suggestion would be to clean also that part of the beach since the guests simply do walk also beyond the imaginery hotel boundraries… 4. Missing fridge in the villa is definitely a minus. The still wate
