Pearl Beach Resort Gili Asahan

Relaxed vibe The accommodation was well spaced out and so you had a lot of privacy and no noise from your neighbors

The menu was very limited There are no frigs in the room so you couldn't keep anything cold. There was no kettle so if you wanted a cup of tea you had to walk all the way to the restaurant which was at the front of the property ( I was at the back), order it, wait for it to be made and then carry it all the way back. The two chairs on the veranda were very small and uncomfortable to relax in for an afternoon read. The triangular shaped shelving in the room was hopeless and just got on the way. I was shocked to discover that while they pick you up free from Kores and will take you back there free (which is okay if you're going on the by car) - if you actually want to leave by fast ferry from they charge a minimum of another 350,000 Indonesian just to take you to the fast wharf, which is about the same distance it's going to Kores. When I complain they tried to tell me they could upset the local fishermen what a load of ****** Because I couldn't get a ferry ticket I had to stay a night on the next Island Gili Gede where the ferries leave from. I stayed at a beachfront hotel and had a spectacular apartment with its OWN rooftop swimming pool for about 30% less than Pearl Beach Resort. As I watch the full moon rising from the swimming pool on my roof I thought next time I think I'll be staying here and not at Pearl Beach Resort.

Beautiful location - we really enjoyed the flowers everywhere. Tranquil right by the sea. I hadn't snorkeled before and it was incredible - thank you to the team for bearing with me while I tried several masks to work out how to do it! I saw a lot of colourful fish including Nemo and his whole family! The bathroom outside the lodge was peaceful, showering under the moon. We were very glad of the good quality mosquito net as there were gaps in the lodge (which is to be expected). We were also really pleased to have air conditioning over the bed. I really enjoyed the banana pancake with Nutella and selection of fresh fruit. We spent 3 nights here which allowed two full days and was perfect for us. Good little library too where we left and borrowed a book. We felt that our stay was excellent value for money and unforgettable memories were made here. Lighting is low and we felt that the lodge really encourages people to switch off and sleep when the sun goes down and rest for a full day of snorkeling or relaxing on a sun bed with a book.

The food in the restaurant was a bit hit and miss. That said, some of it was quite nice and as much as anything, it was very convenient to have food close by and so, we mainly ate here. We really enjoyed the restaurant area and liked the daily ritual of tea and cake at 4 pm.

Lovely staff, wonderful spot Having walked around the entire island and checked out other resorts we were very happy we chose Pearl Beach.

I liked the location of the property it was good for snorkeling.

I thought the property was a bit run down.The grounds could be maintained better and lit up better at night.The food was awful we had lunch when we arrived it was tasteless it was the first bad meal we had in 3 weeks we’ve been in Lombok.We ended up going to another guesthouse for dinner.Breakfast was no better.We had a scratching sound coming from our roof in our bungalow that kept us up half the night.
