The hype
Guests are blown away by the design and peacefulness but often frustrated by inconsistent restaurant food and slow service.
Amber Lombok Beach Resort By Cross Collection
$95-250/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a 'deserted island' escape in Lombok without the $500/night price tag, and you're okay with a few rough edges.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The feeling of total isolation on Torok Beach
- Beachfront pool villas that cost less than a standard room in Bali
- Mukti Spa's high-quality treatments at reasonable prices
Snel Overzicht: A stunningly designed remote hideaway that looks five-star on Instagram but operates like a four-star island outpost with occasional service hiccups.
Beoordeeld door @Travelholicday: I found this to be the ultimate escape from the usual tourist tracks. The contrast between the lush green hills and that turquoise water is unreal. It’s quiet, luxurious, and the beach is pristine—perfect for just disconnecting from everything.

Reality check
The 'private pool' in some Junior Suites is shared with neighbors, so book a Villa if you want true privacy.
- You crave silence and empty beaches
- You're a surfer looking for uncrowded waves nearby
- You want a romantic villa experience on a budget
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally good daily service, though some reviews mention missed dust or sand.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly clean, but recurring complaints about 'gunk' in sink corners and occasional toilet malfunctions.
- Maintenance: Newer property showing early signs of wear (peeling paint, salt damage) due to ocean proximity.
- Linens & towels: Towels are plentiful, but some guests report sheets feeling 'rough' or 'old'.
- Odors & scents: Fresh sea breeze usually, but some rooms have reported musty smells if AC isn't running.

Walk 10 minutes south along the beach to find local fishermen who might grill fresh catch for you.

The 'Happy Hour' cocktails are strong—best value drink on the menu.
