The Jayakarta Lombok Hotel & Spa

Loved this resort. A little bit out of town but that's what we wanted. Food and staff were excellent. Would definately recommend this resort for a quiet retreat. Rooms were very clean and comfortable.

The hotel was on beautiful location right on the beach... everything was perfect except TV which had only local 17 channels...no discovery channel, national geographic or music channel and also with poor clearity and leaking sink, which they fixed once I reported.... staff was very friendly and helpful... overall was a good hotel...just need to update their tv channels with good clearity.

Nice room and surroundings, though a bit dated. We stayed here as it was convenient to go for Dolphin Dive School dive courses (which we highly recommend btw). Pool looks family friendly. There's a nice, clean private beach and even beach vendors who are easily accessible at a designated space yet do not tout. Breakfast area is beautiful if you can get a table facing the beach. One downside is that the hotel seems to host many conferences/local business meetings so breakfast becomes crowded and events like a karaoke night may disturb your rest (there seems to be event space at both ends of the compound). Restricted hours for hot water so do take note

The room description says "soaking bath with a separate shower" but the room given has "shower/tub" combination. Only very small 2 bottles of water were given.

The Jayakarta has its charms. Stuck in the past, with big rooms and focussed on local families, which is fine. But needs to update itself for more demanding and discerning travellers. WiFi was awful. Senggigi is a good stopover if you’re planning trips to the waterfalls and mountains up north. But not much to offer on its own. Mangsit Beach closeby is a must for swimming, sunsets and dinner.
