Sembalun Lawang Holidays from NZ$1,516

Qunci Villas might just be one of the best places I've stayed. We were here for 14 nights in one of their pool villas, it was so nice to have our own private pool to retreat away. The room was immaculate and regularly cleaned, the pool was also in great condition and cleaned / maintained regularly. Food options at Qunci are amazing, three restaurants to choose from and specialised events every day of the week to pick from. The view from Nooq bar for sunset and their 241 happy hour at this time is amazing. The staff are incredible. And when I say incredible I mean absolutely flawless. Everyone is genuinely kind, well trained and ready to help at any given moment. I have stayed a lot of places and I was blown away. So, the catch, Lombok isnt called the island of 1000 mosques for nothing. Every morning at 0500hrs you can hear the call to prayer. It lasts approx 5 to 10mins but you definitely can hear it. The hotel have provided ear plugs, but in my opinion the rooms could do with some additional sound proofing. Having said that, we stayed a long time and we feel incredibly well rested. The noise to us was a minor inconvenience and the hotel more than made up for it in services rendered.

Great location! Away from the hustle bustle and close enough to great restaurants, sunset venues and beaches. Note there really isn’t a beach out front but plenty of swimmable beaches close by. We stayed in a pool access room - well worth the upgrade as the rooms towards the front of the hotel lack privacy and exposed to late night music. The chilled pool and terraced restaurant are highlights! Staff are incredibly sweet and friendly. Menu is hit and miss. Order the pork belly and sweet potato fries! Bfast every morning is delicious and good people watching. Seriously best coffee! Double shot lattes. Sleeping was comfortable with nightly turn down service and air conditioned rooms. We left doors open and fan on. Roosters and birds are a nice way to wake up around 5am. They also serve afternoon tea with selection of tea, coffee and light bites complimentary to pool villas.

Stunning hotel! Very large rooms with gorgeous balcony views of the ocean. The infinity pool offers excellent views, especially at sunset. Staff were friendly and always available to answer questions. The only difficulty experienced was with the on-site spa and the inability to access the jacuzzi unless you pay for a very expensive spa treatment. It is also almost impossible to get an appointment if you don’t schedule 2-3 days in advance so we could not access the jacuzzi at all during our stay. If you are planning on staying, call ahead for an appointment! Other than this, I could not fault our stay.

Sira is an excellent hotel.
