We loved our stay at the Oberoi Lombok for our honeymoon. It wasn’t perfect, but there were so many amazing elements.
The private pool villa was large and lovely, the views divine, the staff so friendly and helpful. The beach experience / chairs / hammocks / service, just made for the most relaxing week.
The hotel has not been renovated in many years, but as they keep it spotlessly clean and maintained this isn’t a big issue. Our air conditioning broke, but it was spotted by room service and maintenance fixed it very quickly.
Nothing is too much to ask, the staff are all very approachable and after a few days knew us by name.
The resort feels like it’s in a bit of a time warp - I could have been sat in 1999 - which I quite enjoyed. It was relaxing and nostalgic. If you didn’t fancy dinner in the main restaurant (outdoor tables, white tablecloths, musical entertainment), you could order the same menu to the bar or to your room. They were very flexible with the dinner package, which was appreciated. One night they did a special buffet dinner on the beach, which was really lovely.
The staff needed some help understanding my husband’s food allergies, and this took a few days and a few scares. However, they were excellent at following up, and after an early scare were very attentive to it. We found understanding of allergies to be low across Indonesia, not just this hotel.
Such a relaxing five nights, and I wish we were back there!
