ABSOLUTELY LEISURE AT HOLIDAY RESORT LOMBOK INDONESIA
Apt
for our accommodation’s tagline “Absolutely
leisure”, that is what we came for in Lombok, Indonesia. After the island life at the Gili’s of
Indonesia, we were set to explore the mainland of Lombok.
But
with a resort nestled on a pristine beach in Mangsit Village amidst a tropical
mountain and gardens spread in a hectare, exploration is cancelled as we simply
lounge and loiter at the Holiday Resort
Lombok Indonesia.
Notwithstanding
the resort’s location which is a 5-minute drive to the Central of Senggigi as
well as nearby shopping, dining and night life areas, we opted to stay within
the vicinity of the hotel during our stay at Lombok. This is one of the inevitable effects when
staying at a good resort which provides the perfect comfort and leisure.
ROOMS
We
settled at one of the Ocean View rooms situated at the second floor where the wooden
flooring leading to our room provides a relaxing vibe for me. Very laid back and refreshing.
It
has all the basic room amenities with a twin bed providing the true definition
of comfort. I was able to rest well.
Our
room has a balcony providing a panoramic view of the well-landscaped garden of
the resort and the beach with the famed Mount Agung from a distance.

RESTAURANTS
As
soon as the sun sets, we were invited to have our dinner along the shores of
Mangsit beach in one of the hotel’s in-house restaurant named Kayangan.
A
candle-light dinner with the sounds of the waves heard would definitely make up
a romantic dinner. But we came in group
and it was equally enjoyable. This
seafood and grill restaurant provides a relaxing ambiance, more so that we were
entertained by resident musicians. All
requested songs were rendered even Filipino songs. Christian Bautista’s songs were a constant
favorite by Indonesians. It was a indeed
a good night.
Every
Saturday night, the restaurant’s theme is a BBQ Night which is their specialty
as well. Being fond of anything skewered
and grilled, we were fortunate to have sampled on the dishes. And it was delectable.
Our
complimentary breakfast was served at the Rinjani
Restaurant. It is situated at the
lobby lounge and provides the best morning view reminding myself that this is
indeed a vacation. With clear skies, the
famed Mount Agung comes in view.
The
restaurant offers Asian cuisine and continental breakfast. It is just a few steps from our room, making
it homey.
AMENITIES
A
huge swimming pool sits at the center of the resort surrounded by towering
coconut trees and cottages depictive of a typical tropical island getaway.
There
is a mini bar as well at the center of the swimming pool. We were in time for the happy hour and we did
place bottles of beer as order and directly swim afterwards.
Roaming
around the vicinity, there are activities to choose from for recreation
purposes. We also passed by the
sanctuary for turtle conservation.
Holiday Resort Lombok Turtle Center aims to protect sea turtle eggs,
increase hatching rates, increase their chance of surviving and enabling them
to strengthen before release.
The
Mangsit Beach is the perfect place to chill in the afternoon after the day’s
work under the shade of the aligned coconut trees at the sea shore. The sand may not be as fine as that of Gili
islands nor its waters crystal clear, but it surely has a unique sense of an
absolute leisurely travel even made more possible by the luxury and comfort
provided by Holiday Resort Lombok.
