Malaka Hotels with balcony

First, about the pros. After a long trip to different countries with friends. My husband and I decided to relax together somewhere in a secluded corner and celebrate my husband's birthday. We chose Lombok and this hotel. We were met at the airport, the transfer cost 750,000. They checked us into a chic room with an ocean view, second floor. Although I asked for the first when booking, but we also really liked the second, we did not object. It turned out that there was a cyclone for the first three days. Strong wind and rain. But this did not bother us, because we were in a great place. Great breakfasts to order from the menu, good spa. I will note that we were the only guests in the hotel for the first three days. And now about the cons, they would not have been there if not for February 14, Valentine's Day. Many in the reviews complain about the expensive menu. I agree that it is expensive and not always as tasty as expected. There are many good restaurants nearby in Singigi. My husband's birthday... I asked in advance when booking the hotel what we could organize on this day. They told me a piece of cake or a cake for an extra charge. We ordered dinner on the ocean shore. These were beautifully set tables, there were several of them, we laughed, thinking that we had invited guests. But no, it was an ordinary dinner like every day. There was no special celebration. Everything is as usual. But we are in a great mood and we are together in a wonderful place... everything went great! Let me remind you that the hotel was empty, two or three more couples arrived later. For breakfast, they began to forget to bring us fruit or not offer something from the menu, as was the case on the first days. The service here, unfortunately, is not attentive with such a small number of guests. And then on February 14, they brought us coupons for the holiday. You can use them to book a dinner at a discount, a spa or choose an excursion (all are attached) We decided to give the hotel a chance to redeem itself and ordered a romantic dinner (I would like to clarify, we rarely dined at the hotel, this was the first day of our stay, my husband's birthday and here it is 02/14). And what do we see, the same tables usually set, like every evening, strangers passing by sitting nearby, well, a rose from the hotel as a bonus. They have nothing new, except for some special menu, after which my husband remained hungry, because everything was not tasty for him. But this did not bother us until we saw another couple having a truly romantic dinner. I asked why they had flowers, a beautiful tent and a gorgeous romantic setting in the hotel courtyard. But they did not even offer us this. They told us that this was a different package. But I asked what could be organized for my husband's birthday, they only offered me a cake, we ordered a romantic one and that's it. I read all the offers from the hotel in the room, there was no such offer as I saw from the guys. It was very beautiful. By the way, the prices are different everywhere, on the website one, on the menu another for the same offers. With such a small number of guests, how could this happen? I was extremely disappointed. I did not show this to my husband. Later I saw in the brochure at the hotel that the cost of a romantic dinner was the same on a regular day, as we were offered with a coupon, supposedly with a discount. In general, we adore the Maldives and so I regretted a little that I did not choose them. The price was the same. I was very disappointed in the hotel. I did not find out, swear or talk about my dissatisfaction. We continued to relax, have fun and travel around the island, eating wonderful dishes much cheaper in neighboring hotels and restaurants. And yes, on the last day of our stay, they did not even come to clean us. They forgot. It was twice a day, they came only in the evening. Everything that was written in the reviews corresponds to reality. You shouldn't have high expectations. The staff is good, but unfortunately not professional. We stayed at the hotel for 7 days. I hope the hotel will read the review and will please other guests with more comfortable and attentive service. And remove these tasteless expensive dishes from the menu. They spoil the reputation of your hotel. Reviews often write about this.

The hotel is located in the middle of nature. The beach is just opposite. Very good breakfast and lovely hosts.

Mixed feelings — kind staff but disappointing overall. First of all, a big thank you to the hotel staff, who were genuinely kind and attentive throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the issue isn’t the people — it’s the property itself. The photos online look beautiful, but in reality, the finishes and details just don’t match the pictures. Everything feels a bit cheap and unfinished. For example, the pool area has small sofas but no cushions, so you can’t really relax comfortably by the water. In the rooms, several things were off — cracked flooring, a broken window, missing door handles (you have to lock the door from inside or outside every time), and other small issues that really add up. Considering the price, it’s quite disappointing, especially when there are nicer hotels nearby for less money. We stayed in the Villa Fuego, which, as you can see on Google Maps, is located right next to the road — meaning it’s noisy, with scooters constantly passing by. It completely breaks the idea of a quiet, romantic getaway in a “private villa.” It’s a real shame, because the staff do their best, but the overall experience doesn’t live up to the expectations or the price. Sadly, despite the warm hospitality, we left feeling that this stay was not worth it.
