Anonymous UserI have to give this a great review; too bad there aren't ten stars, otherwise I'd definitely give it a perfect score!
After a four-day, three-night liveaboard trip from Komodo to Lombok, we stayed at the Novotel Lombok Resort & Villas in Kuta for four days.
The hotel is beautiful, stylish, and full of charming little details. For instance, the pebble paths are adorned with mosaics of turtles and Komodo dragons, the frog-shaped lights along the pathways are adorable, and the triangular entrance archways to the villas feel mysterious (check out the photos!).
We stayed in a Sasak-style villa (without a pool).
The room was spacious, and the bed was especially comfortable – lying in it felt like being wrapped in a cloud, so secure and cozy. I slept incredibly well these past few days, completely recovering from the 'pain' of the liveaboard trip 😂. It's perfect for a relaxing, 'lie flat' vacation.
During check-in, there was a staff member who spoke some simple Chinese, which made communication easy. However, throughout our four-day stay, we didn't encounter any other Chinese guests. It was mostly Indonesian locals, Westerners, and we did see two Koreans. In fact, when we went out to places like the Bat Cave and the cliffs, we rarely saw any Chinese tourists either.
The hotel reception offers motorbike rentals. They'll call one for you, and it usually arrives in about 20 minutes. A small scooter costs 150k per day.
The restaurant food was decent – you know how it is, pretty much what you'd expect. Breakfast wasn't particularly special. For à la carte meals at other times, the Kung Pao Chicken and Sichuan Beef we tried were pretty good. They're definitely not the standard authentic Chinese preparation, but the taste was enjoyable. For two people, two dishes plus drinks cost roughly 180 RMB per meal (Qris Alipay is accepted).
One evening, they forgot our order, and we waited for 40 minutes. The chef personally came to apologize and offered us free ice cream. Overall, the service attitude was excellent, and the staff were all very enthusiastic.
If you register as a Novotel member, the hotel's Wi-Fi is super fast. The in-house spa is a little bit on the pricier side, but the massage techniques are good, and the best part is you don't have to go out looking for one.
The hotel has its own beach, and next to it is a small hill perfect for watching both beautiful sunrises and sunsets (see photos). On our last day, while watching the sunset from the hill, a little black dog ran up and sat beside me, accompanying me as I watched the sunset [crying emoji]. Anyone understand that feeling? The world instantly felt quiet and peaceful.
It's about a 15-minute motorbike ride from the hotel to Kuta town, which is very convenient. Shopping and dining spots there also accept Qris Alipay (though some convenience stores don't). We ate at a Chinese restaurant called 'Jiangnan'; their Spicy Chicken was delicious, and the cold wood ear mushroom salad was perfectly seasoned (though the peanuts were raw, which made me laugh).
You can also order takeaways via Grab, and riders accept Qris payment upon delivery.

Guest UserNew hotel. Everything inside is clean and tidy. There's hot water. The staff is helpful and recommends good locations and places to eat. The hotel is located 3 km from Kuta. It's accessible by motorbike. It was convenient for us since we were on a motorbike.
There's parking for cars and motorbikes.
I recommend it.

Guest UserThis villa made it to the highlight of our trip. Firstly, the service of the Lina Team is amazing. From the moment we checked in, even to the time we checked out, we were well taken care of by the staff. The villa was absolutely gorgeous. The villa was well-maintained and fully furnished. Really great touch by the team to provide turn down service every night during our stay. The villa is located near the main street Kuta but away from the hustle of it all. Fret not, as the villa provided free scooter shuttle within the Kuta area which made the stay even more accessible. Rentals for motorbike and airport shuttle was also settled by the team. Breakfast was really great and the team even offered to pack our breakfast when we told them we were travelling out early during one of our mornings. Definitely will be returning here when I’m back in Lombok.

The hotel is located in the southern Kuta area. The entrance road is tortuous and bumpy. When we arrived, we found that the environment was great. The reception staff greeted us warmly. The room was simply designed and had a light fragrance! In short, it was a good experience.

It’s situated not too far from the main busy area of kuta, but it’s still bit far from the beach. So overall not too bad for location.
Pros:
- Good facility of coworking space and a spa, which is much appreciated.
- room layout is good with balcony. Would suggest to opt for the one level up so there is some privacy compare those has direct ground level access.
- overall service is great, very strong SOP driven and ensure you are taken care the same by everyone.
- room is clean and housekeeping is quite good. Thought some spots could be improved.
Cons
- the room sound proof is issue. Due to gaps and room material, can obviously hear all the rooster sounds, azan and even people talking. Might not be good for light sleeper.
- it is surrounded by lots construction, though the noise doesn’t affect but it’s not too pleasant as at now.
- restaurant food option is quite limited. Hard to stay excited if stay for longer.
- wifi is an issue, hardly can connect at my room. But totally no problem at the coworking space

Guest UserVery comfortable, and the service was super responsive. The hotel facilities, including their recommendations for local attractions, were excellent. They also have a private beach, and we even got to see a wedding! The food was great too.

Мария ТопорковаThis is the sweetest and friendliest hotel! Every single staff member is ready to help you at a moment's notice. I had an accident, and the kindest employees at this hotel, every last one of them, helped and participated in repairing my motorcycle and provided me with assistance and support. The rooms are clean and tidy, and housekeeping comes every day. Breakfast was sometimes buffet style, sometimes à la carte. Everything was delicious. The location is superb. But what I'll remember most is the kindness and love from everyone.

The place is a bit distant from others as it is on top of the hill and the breakfast is a one plate course. Do take note that the jacuzzi doesnt warm up. It’s more of a chill pool
However the view is nice, The room is nice, the staff are top. I would most definitely stay here again.
