Batu Karang Lembongan Resort & Spa

Batu Karang was a simply amazing stay - they had it all, and frankly you could easily never leave the resort and feel more than taken care of. (The spa was particularly nice.) I will say the only downside was the rooms aren’t as sound proofed as we had hoped and you can easily hear people walking by. Just something to consider.

Everything was perfect. The view from the hotel was amazing, room was so nice also food was also very good. It would be more perfect if the receptionist realized my birthday when we checked in 😅

Great resort- what a view! On a steep hill but there’s buggy service. Some areas (eg. Lounge) a bit old but overall amazing.

Very good but the rooms are open so alot of mosquitoes

We did not initially book Batu Karang, however due to an issue with our previous booking, Trip.com were able to secure a room here which we felt very excited about as the hotel looked lovely! When we arrived, the staff were amazing. They took our luggage on their buggies and drove them straight to our room. We were transferred to reception (the hotel grounds are very large and quite steep). Throughout our stay the staff were helpful and friendly. We had an early morning snorkelling trip so the kitchen staff made us breakfast to go which was so kind. Breakfast the next day was amazing… so much choice and cooked to perfection. We had a small issue on our second/final night as we found a colony of ants in our room and our neighbours were extremely noisy. However, as soon as we reported it to reception and asked if we could move rooms, they collected our luggage and took us to a different part of the resort where there were no ants and no noise. The hotel sorted us a taxi for our trip back to the harbour which was fantastic. We would love to stay at Batu Karang again and would definitely recommend it to friends, family and fellow travellers!

Batu Karang Lembongan Resort, Lembongan Island: One of the big resorts on LI, Batu Karang has 2 split personalities. Firstly, it had its hey days the way Jackie Collins did. Think "Dynasty" - you get the 80's puffed-up-hair idea. Today, it's faded glory on some fronts and boho-cool on others. Pool, gym and main reception and restaurant are 80's worn out and outdated. The bed rooms are semi fine with a gorgeous bed but outdated electrical fittings and WIFI system. Bathroom is a bit of a mixed bag - with some new elements such as the commanding stone-grey bathtub that is the hallelujah of the bathroom. Sockets, plugs, mirrors need a facelift. You still get killer views from the hotel or restaurants. Now the exciting part - The Deck and secret speakeasy bar on cliff ledge The Howff. The Deck is the Greek white-washed pilgrimmage pit stop of all island visitors. It feels like holiday and gives you the electric blue panorama dotted with lazy boats bobbing up and down the water. Cocktails, milkshakes, juices, smoothies scream technicoloured excitement and show you what holiday truly means. Food is also good and well presented. The Howff is a dark, medieval, mysterious cave meets sea whisky gin speakeasy cocktail concept - which is refreshing by island standards. With coiffed newcomers such as Lago on the island, Batu Karang needs to let go of the old and the ugly and refresh itself with newer fittings matching The Deck and The Howff. #eatstylishtravelstylish
