Restaurants recommended outside hotel: Taman - wonderful Indian food; Asmara - international standard cuisine.
Taxis are cheap on Senggiggi so getting around is no problem.

Hawkers are the main problem with Sengiggi - on the beach and down the main street. They are not aggressive or unduly persistent, unlike e.g. some African countries, but as soon as one goes another appears!!
Good choice and variety of restaurants in Sengiggi - ludicrously cheap in many, with drinks often costing more than food!! The absence of the 21% GST tax, which luxury hotels charge, make this a good option.
The place was very quiet when we were there, but this was just after Bali. Lombok is very undeveloped - almost "primitive" - certainly outside of Sengiggi. Well worth hiring a jeep or car for 3/5 days to see the island. Car hire is cheap, but rental agreements seem rather vague on insurance etc!! Roads are pretty good and traffic light, other than around Mataram. The drive up North from Sengiggi is spectacular. We were not impressed with Kuta in the south.
People are very friendly - crime doesn't seem to be a problem. A great place to relax.

Mount Rinjani climb was good fun. The north East of the Island the roads are very steep and very scary on a motor bike.
Best meal I had was at the Intan Lombok Village ( I tried several nearby restaraunts which were cheaper but not nearly as good).

Hiring a car is quite cheap (about US$20 per day) and a great way to see the island at your own pace. The pottery shops at Banyumulek are a must - great choice at great prices.

Very quiet and peaceful - the riots in January 2000 has meant that tourist numbers are down - good for us not good for tourist related businesses. Everything is now calm and has been for ages.
Spent two days on Gili Air - could have taken three days as it was very peaceful and everyone very friendly.
Everything on Lombok within easy reach with motor bike, car or public transport. First two easy to hire and traffic OK - not like Bali!
Excellent restaurants around Sengiggi - Asmara, Princess of Lombok and Bambu to name a few.

The resort was so lovely, we barely left it. I did tour into Sekarbela to look at pearls, but was disappointed in their low quality, high prices and poor metal craftsmenship. Would give this a miss. Blue taxis are cheap, easy and safe to use.

I loved the tour around the small village and show us how making ceramics and another things, but the hotel information not response or call me back when we asked about what we needs from the tour. It seemed not have a good connection with the tours. Anyway, the others was good !
