The Suites Lombok

Nice property. Friendly staff.Spacious rooms and bathrooms, wish they had better water quality, maybe just installing filter system as the "running" water is salty due to the well not hitting true fresh water.Food is overall very good, wish there was a little more variety as after a few days I exhausted my choices. Property is very isolated so not options for a quick lunch or dinner outside. (There is a fresh seafood floating restaurant about 10 mins away and they will come and pick you up).You can "rent" a motorcycle for a few $ but kind of needs to be organized the day before so not so spontaneous and there is not much too see/do around. The pool is great, long enough to do laps (I swam 1 hr everyday).The beach is not so great, like unfortunately many in Indonesia, so much plastic and garbage. The bay has many mangrove and makes the sand very muddy around he hotel so not so great to go swimming.No real diving possibilities in the area (need to go closer to Gili Gede area).For snorkling some very nice islands (Gili), great corals and fish population but need to hire a boat for a day or 1/2 day tour ($35 for 1/2 day and $70 for full day). Hotel helped but not well organized. The first time you have no real idea where you are going, hotel just calls a local boat for you and here you go without knowing what to expect. First boat/captain we went with was good we went with him several times and last day another crew took us and was not such a good experience.
