The property, staff and chef at Segara Lombok are beyond 5 stars. Because ... and how many places can you say this about?! ... it was e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g: the visual scenery, the arrangement of the property and foliage througout, the comfortable and casual atmosphere, the intimate setting, beach access, the very personable staff who went above and beyond, and not least - a chef who understands the importance of subtly balanced flavors infused with interesting ingredients, healthy options, and the ability to carry that across a variety of meal types & styles. What treat! Because I was a little worried about the food due to the more isolated location of the property. Other venues were certainly available within reason by hired car or scooter. But we wanted to relax and would normally prefer to visit places within walking distance of our accommodations. That wasn't possible here and I didn't miss it at all! In fact, I wish I could have stayed longer - for every reason stated above - but also to try even more of the menu items or revisit a favorite more than once :)
We truly felt like we were transported to paradise from the moment we arrived. Just know that paradise for us is peace, beauty, tranquility, feeling spoiled in a very natural (not commercialized version of natural) setting, and treated like VIPs. If that's your idea of paradise don't pass up the chance to stay here! We eagerly look forward to returning but we live far far away and hope nothing changes here until then
