"Cadre très calme qui sort de l'ordinaire avec la chance de pouvoir cotoyer quelques "loups de mer" en escale. On se sent loin de tout avec un personnel toujours au petit soin. Il s'agit d'une destination qui correspond au fameux "pas de côté". Les chambres sont simples et il ne faut pas trop en attendre. Mais l'environnement reste malgré tout magique surtout au moment du coucher du soleil."

"We had such a lovely stay at Thamarind, the staff were so friendly and welcoming and it was quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was very tasty and Snorkelling directly outside was amazing! "

"We loved our stay so much that we tried to extend a week (they were full). The triangle bungalows are spacious and romantic with lots of little details. The owner designs luxury resorts and it shows. The included breakfast was amazing, smoothie bowls, fresh juices, waffles, etc. We ate dinner there almost every evening and loved every bite. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. We got to know several of them more personally and had great conversations. There is great snorkeling nearby. You...

"Le cadre, les chambres sont superbes, la piscine au sel (tellement plus agréable que le chlore) et le personnel au petits soins.
La musique omniprésente (resto, bar piscine et plage) gâche un peu l'expérience de calme recherchée à cet endroit. Le restaurant est bon mais pas exceptionnel. L'hôtel est un peu isolé et sa situation rend plus difficile une escapade dans le village d'à coté (attention aux marées la plage disparaît lors de la marée haute).
Baignade difficile durant la marée basse....

"Beautiful, quiet location just across from Gili Gede. Perfect location to head over to the island to spend the day snorkeling, etc. Everything about this resort was wonderful; the food, the staff, the comfortable, spacious rooms. Five Stars. "

"Beautiful location on the water. Room were nice size & clean with balconies with ocean views. Rooms with private pool available or use the shared pool. There was no by there when I was there in mid January but it is wet season & likely to rain. Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch & dinner and is very convenient as there is not much around hotel."

"Petite but wonderful oasis, right on the beach, and near anything else you could want. Special shout out to the superb staff, whose manager keeps things in top clean condition and is ready for any request. For a small place, it offers big value. And try the restaurant too - it offers a complete menu!"

"Our stay at Kalandara Resort in Lombok was truly breath-taking. We chose this resort for our honeymoon, and it exceeded every expectation—we did not regret our decision for a single moment.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered. Little touches like slippers, Crocs for the infinity pool, and a Bluetooth speaker added a special charm to our experience and made our stay feel even more luxurious and personal.
What really made our time unforgettable was the staff. Every single member of the team was warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable, always greeting us with a smile and making us feel so welcome throughout our stay.
The food was another highlight—fresh, delicious, and with great variety. The portions were generous, and we’re pretty sure we left having gained a few happy pounds! The resort itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly peaceful.
We truly miss our time at Kalandara Resort and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you for helping us create such a special and unforgettable honeymoon memory."
"The staff, air con & bed were very good. However this hotel is more suited to local guests, especially families, than international travelers. Eg the nearest atm is a 15 min taxi ride away. Also this hotel holds large corporate functions so access to the pools can at times be limited."
"Unless you pay for the expensive package, you need to be very mobile. All bathrooms in the reasonable rate category come with bathtubs only. There are no grab bars or anything for support. The walls have signs of humidity decay. The pool meant for everyone's use is very small considering. We paid to upgrade because of this. The website says the beach is close. Its not. Its a 35 minute walk. We paid for an all inclusive package. The kitchen had major issues. They tried hard but left things lacking. Also, be ready for a wakeup at 4 am or so bc this hotel seems to be right next to a speaker for the call to prayers. The spa is very nice. The beds are outrageously hard. We used the cushions from the patio furniture to help as the hotel had no way to fix this issue. "
