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/ noite
Reservar se You want a 'deserted island' escape in Lombok without the $500/night price tag, and you're okay with a few rough edges.
Por Que As Pessoas Adoram
- 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
Resumo Rápido: A stunningly designed remote hideaway that looks five-star on Instagram but operates like a four-star island outpost with occasional service hiccups.
Revisado por @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.

- 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.
