Lombok Holiday resort is a 4 star property. Hence we were met by a porter and stepped into a very nice marble lobby. The staff soon checked us in within minutes we were in our room ground floor as requested. I paid only $50US for the "exotic promotion chalet room" on wotif, much cheaper than other booking sites and direct hotel booking and we were more than happy with this price for 4 * accommodation. You get free welcome drinks at the bar at a time to suit, a free 10 minute trial massage as well. Children under 12 are free unless you want an extra bed ($25US) but I could see from photos there was a small sofa for my young child so we did not need to pay the extra for a bed for her. The room is spacious, plenty of attractive lamps, huge wardrobe, dressing table, 2 armchairs and coffee table, king size bed, art work, outdoor patio with seating and a large semi open bathroom with bathtub shower over and the outdoor section has wooden slats overhead for complete privacy and is also screened. Soap, shampoo, shower cap and shower gel is provided and they will bring any other essential toiletry item you may have forgotten free of charge. We can see the beach from our room 542 and it is about a 2 minute walk to the restaurant, beach and pool. The hotel is well maintained with basic maintenance happening while we are here. They also do a good job of fogging to reduce the mosquito population. There is a small gift shop with reasonable prices, a 'drink' shop with some alcohol both local and imported and soft drinks, ice blocks etc. There is a dive centre as well. These are downstairs from the lobby. Upstairs there is a small shop which sells a selection of local and imported pearls. Once again reasonable prices. The pool is very attractive and has a large spa and also a very nice swim up pool bar on a higher level from the main pool. The surrounding garden is in full bloom with frangipani and bouganvilia. There are hundreds of coconut trees which are all numbered. I suppose this makes it much more practical to ensure the coconuts are regularly removed before they become dangerous missiles. Up the far end of the beach within hotel grounds there are tanks with turtle hatchlings. The hotel put them in here and raise them for one month in an attempt to increase the survival rate. You can pay 40,000rp to release a turtle. The hotel also has a kids club and well maintained playground. The kids club is free for up to 2 hours and then has various packages ie all day including lunch and various activities for around 65,000rp. Pony rides which are 11am - 12pm each day are free for children. The beach has a few waves and people can be seen snorkeling a little further out past the wave break.
