Lombok trip

[shiznitro]

So have anyone been to lombok recently? going to head there in august this year. Any recommendation of resort, activities or places to go? Thanks in advanced!

i was there 1.5 years ago, which is not that recent but still relevant i guess.

3 days on gili trawangan, staying and diving with trawangan dive, drinking and having seafood in the evening. the dive was good. vis at least 20/30m. room was decent and it's good to have a front porch to dump wet laundry. only problem is the proximity to the mosque, so we were assaulted with prayers 5x a day. there's way more angmohs than locals on the island, but somehow it doesn't feel touristy in the traditional sense.

stayed 1 night in living asia before heading to climb rinjani for 4 days. this is still the best value for $$$ place i've stayed at so far. they have a spa but book early. the only complain i have is the distance to the city center. you have to take a cab, but it's easy and cheap enough plus there's not much going on at the center, so i was happy not to leave the resort.

Went there in Aug 2014. Climbed rinjani and spent 1week at Lombok kuta. Amazing place, cheap food, cheap massage, cheap scooter rental, nice beaches. Very simple and cheap place. Much better than the kuta in Bali.

Need to engage driver like Bali or can take public transport?

I've never engaged a driver for the whole day. I just use the hotel's concierge to get me a cab in Indonesia. Not sure if you consider that public transport?

Anybody been to Lombok recently? Booked for Aug 2019.Planning to stay senggigi area. Pink beach worth going? Saw it's quite far from Senggigi...

Not worth it at all!!! First of all it’s not pink and secondly it’s full of rubbish... A complete disappointment... Plus the parking is super expensive; 50000 rupees.... Very bad road for the last 10km
