Batu Layar Hotels with Rooftop Pools

"The staff is absolutely lovely. They gave me a room with a sea view, even though I booked a garden view. I was especially pleased with the gym: it's always empty, the equipment is limited, but it has the bare minimum. And Senggigi beach is wow! I regretted wasting my time in Kuta instead of coming here straight away. It was a special pleasure to swim with turtles, whose existence in this place I did not know."

"This is a large, clean hotel located by a wild beach with beautiful views. You can swim at the beach; it's uncrowded, but there are a few fishing boats, giving it more of a local rather than a touristy vibe. The bungalows in the hotel are spacious and clean, and the water pressure is good (with hot water always available). The staff are polite, and the grounds are lush and green. The low number of guests creates a secluded atmosphere. I recommend this hotel. Don't book hotels directly on the main Senggigi beach; it's dirty there with plastic littering the shore. It's better to choose this spot or a bit further north, where the beautiful areas begin."

"* If I'd let everything pass smoothly in my review, I wouldn't let this resort pass the 5 stars claim because it's not 5 stars as they claim! The satff are the heroes there. Without them I'll give 1 star review to everything. It really sadness me not to leave 5 stars for this resorts. I have to be honest to all the people who follow my reviews here and other platforms. I visit 30 - 40 different locations around the world annually and review them honestly as a professional reviewer. - The start: We're couple, we arrive 2 hours eatly not to check in but to drop our 2 small bags there and come back later in the day to check in. The lady at the front told us they only have a room with 2 single beds! A very bad start, especially since I booked 1 queen bed for a couple (where'sthe common sense?). The lady later said the room will be available after 3pm (I said, I'm only here to leave my bags for a few hours and check in later). She gave a a room with 1 queen size bed. The room was absolutely atrocious. A big gap in the door, a few geckos left poo on the bed (as seen in the photos) and it's a very old room (level 2, siff stairs, not for anyone with back problem or any type of injuries) and you have to walk literally 7 minutes with rough ground that will break the wheels of your luggage. I went back to the front desk and explained the situation. They gave me another room (Bangalow). - The new room: The room was ok (definitely not 5 stars hotel/resort). The bangalow consists of two rooms adjacent to each other with a door in between can be unlocked from both sides for a family (can be one room and two rooms at the same time). I could here the neighbours conversation clearly including their toilet time! So, no privacy if it's your priority (luckily I had people next door only for one night). The bathroom/shower is outdated and needs renovation. No pressure in the shower and had fast drips instead of stream/spray. The toilet seat was hard stained glue or someone's shoes, and the outdoor shower is even worse with the moss growing on it (as all can be seen in the photos). Gym: No gym, no fitness room or any of that sort. They said they are planning to have one... then how did they get 5 stars ranking since they never had a gym on site? It's a requirement to have a gym to obtain 5 stars hotel ranking. Their 5 stars was received through a local body (we all know how things work here). Their 5 stars isn't your global 5 stars. - Breakfast/Dinner Breakfast is below average as in quality and presentation (not 5 stars). A 3 stars hotel must have 4 continental dishes. This resort/hotel had only 3. This would place it below even 3 stars. However, the staf there are absolutely amazing and super helpful. They are the best you can get anywhere. I pointed a few things to the breakfast manager and she handled everything like a champion. All staff are excellent except the reception (they are good but needs some training). - The hotel/resorts in general: Good, interesting, staff are amazing. I understand it's the first resort in the area, but it's outdated and aged badly. The walk from your room to lobby is 5 -12 minutes walk depending on where you are (I measured everything). The walk from your room to outside it took me 18 minutes (and I'm a fast walker and athlete). I don't mind the walk but try to walk in the rain and heat (it rains every day here). - The view: One of the best views you'll get around sunset. The resort has some breathtaking corners where you'd appreciate nature and culture. That itself deserves my credit. - Would I book here again? It's a tough one. Maybe I'll go eat there especially dinner but I don't think I'll sleep there. During my visit to Lombok so far I've tried 5 different resorts (real 4-5 stars) and for the price I've paid here isn't worth it. I hope this review helped you my fellow traveller, and i wish the hotel/resort get their things better to pay them another visit and give them a better rating."

"Excellent hotel with a very diverse and delicious breakfast. The staff are pleasant and kind. The hotel grounds are large and clean. The rooms are cozy and have everything you need. I loved everything about it, and if I return, it will only be to this hotel!"

"We recently stayed at Jayakarta Lombok and had a pleasant experience overall, thanks to a mix of warm hospitality and beautiful natural surroundings. The highlight of the stay was undoubtedly the excellent and friendly staff, who were consistently welcoming and attentive. Their warm service made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. They even upgraded our room to be right in front of the swimming pool free of charge, which the kids loved! The general facilities at the hotel were impressive. From the spacious pool area to the lush, well-maintained gardens, the resort has a tranquil, traditional charm. We particularly enjoyed the sound of the waves gently rolling in throughout the day—it added a wonderfully calming backdrop to our stay. The sunset views from the restaurant and beach were simply stunning, offering a perfect setting for evening meals or a quiet moment of reflection. Breakfast each morning was a treat, with a good variety of options that catered to both local and international tastes. The food prices across the hotel were reasonable, which made dining in-house convenient and budget-friendly. That said, there were a few areas that could use some improvement. The furniture in the rooms felt quite outdated, which slightly detracted from the overall comfort. Additionally, there’s no iron provided in the rooms, which was a bit inconvenient for longer stays or guests attending events. On Saturday evening, we found the music to be excessively loud, going on until about 10pm. While some guests may enjoy the atmosphere, it might not be ideal for those seeking a quieter evening, especially those with kids. We also noticed some inconsistency in the food quality—what was excellent one day could feel average the next. Moreover, while the beach itself is beautiful, it was often quite dirty due to local fishing activity. To their credit, the hotel staff do make a visible effort to keep it clean. Another consideration is the lack of nearby amenities. There aren’t any ATMs or money exchange options within walking distance, so guests should plan ahead. Lastly, the hotel does not have lifts, which could be a challenge for those with mobility issues. However, this also contributes to its traditional, resort-style vibe which many will appreciate. In summary, Jayakarta Lombok offers a relaxing, friendly, and scenic stay that’s ideal for those looking to unwind by the beach. With a few modern updates and consistency improvements, it could be even better."

"I was extremely satisfied with every aspect of my stay from the service to the facilities. My room came with a private pool and a breathtaking sea view, which was the absolute highlight. Waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying a swim in my own pool while overlooking the ocean felt like pure luxury. The room itself was beautifully designed, spacious, and perfectly clean. The atmosphere of the hotel was peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a getaway. I also appreciated how well-maintained the entire property was, and how everything was thoughtfully arranged to ensure guests had a comfortable and memorable stay."

"This stay was much more than I expected. I originally booked this hotel as a last-minute emergency for one night, but I ended up wishing I had booked my entire three-day stay here! What stood out: A Special Shoutout to ”Superman”: I have to give a special mention to my driver, Superman. He was absolutely incredible! From the very first moment I met him, I knew I was going to fall in love with my stay at this hotel. He made everything feel seamless and welcoming. The Room & View: The room was incredibly spacious. Even though I booked a garden view, I was given a generous upgrade to a partial ocean view. From the beautiful bathroom to the balcony, the scenery was breathtaking. Exceptional Service: The service went above and beyond. They contacted me via WhatsApp and were extremely flexible in helping me book a private tour for the same day. The Experience: They arranged a pickup for me directly from the Lombok port. I rented a GoPro through them for the tour, and despite the rain, the team was so kind and accommodating. Dining: I had a delicious dinner, and the breakfast the next morning was outstanding with an incredible view. Everyone at the hotel was wonderful and the attention to detail was amazing. I truly regret not staying here for my whole trip. Highly recommended!"

"A very typical Southeast Asian beachfront resort. Built right on the beach, you can enjoy breakfast to the sound of waves under the shade of trees on the sand in the morning. The breakfast spread is excellent. We booked a sea-view room on the ground floor with direct beach access, so privacy might be a slight concern, but it's very quiet once the door is closed. The hotel is next to the famous Cliff restaurant, a popular spot for sunset views. There's also a convenience store across the street, but not many other dining options nearby."

"A great complex of villas, cleanliness, calmness, the hostess is always in touch. There were a few days, I didn't want to leave. You can walk to beaches, wine shop, restaurants. Taxi is not expensive. Very recommended."

"La struttura è di impatto tipico indonesiano, pulito per i loro standard, ma non perfetto...cibo così così...il personale gentile ha cercato di risolvere qualsiasi inconveniente...lontano da tutto...bisogna muoversi in taxi...all'alba la preghiera mussulmana ti sveglia inevitabilmente"
