Hotel Tugu Lombok

The hotel is amazing and we spent 3 perfect days there. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly, making you feel like being home. We did the trip to Gili Island with them and it’s high recommended. The SPA is great too. 👍

A true 5 star hotel with exceptional service and a stunningly beautiful location! We loved the large freshwater pools surrounded by trees and flowers, the water temperature was perfect for swimming. Beach was gorgeous too, sand underfoot and the sea was also warm for swimming. Never once a shortage of sunbeds! Food in the restaurant was delicious, varied and tasty. A special mention to Dedy and his fantastic team! We stayed in the Aloon Aloon bungalows and these were charming and spacious with partly outdoor bathrooms which was fun. The hotel organises many varied trips and excursions - we thoroughly enjoyed the morning fishing, cycling tour, old city tour, snorkeling and Indonesian cooking class. There’s also a beautiful spa overlooking the sea. We enjoyed the charming bar too! Our kids had fun at the ping pong table and large grassy area with football goals. The hotel even provided a football and balls for playing with in the pool and sea. The whole place is a tropical paradise with the staff really going out of their way to help you relax and to make you feel special. It’s very peaceful and in harmony with nature. The location is quite isolated, there are very few other bars or restaurants around so that might not suit everyone. There is no evening entertainment, which again might not suit everyone. We didn’t really miss any but did think that some local culture eg dancing/weaving demo/art exhibition would have enhanced the experience even further. Overall we had a wonderful time at Tugu and if you are looking for peace and tranquillity in a stunning setting with outstanding service then look no further!

We came to Lombok for 7 nights after spending 4 nights in Bali. Hotel Tugu, surpassed our expectations. Situated on the mainland right opposite the Gili islands, it was on the north side of the peninsular which meant that the beach was very sheltered and most of the time the sea was quite calm. It is situated on a private beach, and you could walk all the way around the peninsular along the beach. It had a boutique feel and had the most incredible statues and buildings dotted around the place. We travelled with our 15 year old son and on arrival were delighted with our 2 bedroom/2 bathroom suite which had 2 large bedrooms with super king, super comfortable beds with mosquito nets. The bathrooms were situated outside, which was novel. I was a little nervous about visiting wildlife, but other than a couple of lizards and millipedes, we didn’t see anything all week. The restaurant was great. Wonderful food! A great choice on mixture of local, eastern and western food. Lovely fresh fruit and salads. You could eat really well. Service could be a little slow at times, but all the staff were so lovely. Warm, friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The beach had a couple of kayaks and paddle boards, and snorkels that you could borrow. There is a pontoon moored off the beach near the reef that you could paddle to and snorkel. We went with the hotel on the full day Gili island snorkelling trip, which was fantastic. We did 5 snorkelling stops. We saw the beautiful reefs, one had blue coral and so much sea life and of course the highlight which was seeing the amazing sea turtles. The guide came with us and pointed out so many different things. We would highly recommend this trip. Our son has his Padi and the next hotel, a walk up the beach, had its own dive centre so he was able to go out and dive a couple of times while we were there too. Including a dive at shark point. The hotel also arranged a cycling tour for us as well. They use an outside company who have many different options. We would highly recommend this as a way of seeing parts of Lombok. We would highly recommend this Hotel.

The staff are wonderful - friendly and attentive, and seem happy to make guests happy. We had a great day snorkeling off the dragon boat, and some excellent meals including a Grand Rijsttafel on top of the old temple. Massages were excellent, and we really had fun doing a palm weaving/flower arranging lesson. I’d say that this is not the best place for beach swimming, because it’s too shallow, but the pools are lovely. I found the bed comfortable and the outdoor bathroom was cool. Beachfront afternoon tea was really nice. If it hadn’t been so hot and humid, I would have taken advantage of the bikes to explore a bit more. Special shout out to the housekeeping guys who decorated our room with towel animals and flowers more than once - so cute!!
