Very secluded
Location is very secluded and beach is not good for swimming. Be prepared to be locked in the resort as nothing else is around. Staff is very helpful and tried their best. No wind surfing. Apparently the equipment has not been usable for a number of years

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review, our location is secluded area and very suitable for relaxing. we do apologize regarding the wind surfing, we actually provide in our dive centre, since we seldom get booking from the guest for along time for wind surfing so that way our equipment can't use anymore

Very secluded
If you are looking for a place for R&R, don’t mind being “locked in” for the whole stay and having scatchy wifi connection then Cocotinos is a place for you. You might want to stock up on snacks and drinks before arriving at the resort as otherwise, the closest minimart is about 2.5k away. The staff tried their best to make sure your stay is enjoyable.

The place is pretty secluded and far away from main tourist area, good if you prefer to be isolated. The staff is very friendly. However, they need to pay more attention on housekeeping though. It was really nice that our room was set up with flower decoration on the bed, etc, but the staff overlooked to clean up the sofa bed and other furnitures before the guests' arrival. The room has probably been vacant for quite some time that the bedsheet was dusty and spiderwebs were already covering some areas. The cups and glasses were stained.

Relaxing isolated getaway
Places is very relaxing, nothing much around in way of cafes you have to use hotels which the food needs a make over gets very boring when they run out of everything all the time. Internet is terrible so don't expect connectivity but that is why we went, slept, relaxed and snorkelling, staff were friendly activities need upgrading nothing they state on website works or is either 20 year old, snorkelling is ok, much of reef is dying but still worth a snorkel.

A small resort in a quiet area.
This small resort had a family-run feel. The staff were very friendly and overall a great experience. The area is very quiet - don't expect any night life, other than the hotel bar / restaurant. The rooms were clean and pleasant, the beach was nice. The in-house dive shop was not doing much because of the big End-of-Ramadan festival, but the snorkelling gear and scuba equipment seemd to be in decent condition. This is definitely a family orientated place. The snorkelling at nearby islands (boat and equipment arranged by the hotel staff) was good. The pool was nice / clean. The staff are mostly Muslim, so they can't taste the cocktails (hence some strange interpretations of classics, heh). The "bacon" and "ham" is all actually beef (i.e. no pork), but it really didn't matter to us. We hired scooters (relatively expensive at 150k rupiah per day, for rather old / beat-up machines) and explored the environs. There are some amazing beaches for surfing thereabouts. The locals were universally friendly.

Private beach and jetty. Cozy room
Booked 2 nights in terrace room. Room was comfortable and cozy. Stunning view at the private beach and there's a private jetty as well. Can book snorkeling, diving kayaking, fishing and island hopping from their sport centre. These the Third time staying in cocotinos but these time round was quite disappointing. Most of the food we ordered like crispy duck, fried drumlets and pizza were too blend but the nasi goreng still as good. First day, the teabreak only tea and coffee on the table until we checked with the reception then they bring out the goreng pisang. Hope the food can be consistent coz there's no other alternatives except this one and only restaurant around sekotong.

Okay place
The beach was beautiful when we first arrived but we noticed quite a lot of trash floating in the water on the second day. The food at the restaurant was very good. The location is much further away than we realized (about 2hrs from the airport). Renting scooters was fun but there was some confusion on the price. Some of the staff were very friendly and helpful while others seemed disinterested in our stay. The handbook in the room stated there was free shuttle to the surrounding towns but when we asked about it the front desk staff didn't seem to know about the shuttle. The day trip to Gili Nangu was very nice but there was trash in the water there too.

Good, but with an element of Fawlty Towers........
We generally take the view that all the people can't be wrong all of the time, so writing a somewhat dissenting review, in light of the so many accolades, is not something we take lightly. The hotel is in a fabulous location, the housekeeping and restaurant staff are lovely and the beds comfortable - but overall it's nothing more than a European 3* at very best. First, let me say it was fine for us - and we give it a personal ****, even though it's a bit over the top on price for the standard of service and accommodation provided. The food is satisfactory, but if eating is important to you it's certainly not gourmet! It's also worth bearing in mind that the resort's location means that there are no practical alternatives for eating out. What the hotel mainly lacks is effective management. As lovely as they are, the staff are poorly trained and noticeably struggle to get things right. This is very sad because they try so hard to please. What was most important to us was getting out to the nearby diving and snorkelling sites, and in this regard the organisation was excellent, the experience just mind blowing and the boys who took us couldn't have been more helpful. Five plus stars on this one! We have travelled, lived and worked across the globe, including the Far East, and Africa so we don't make these comments from a naive and limited Eurocentric point of view.

Beautiful resort
The resort is absolutely beautiful. The room is very comfortable and clean and has a very nice, Indonesian vibe. The resort facilities are fantastic - the pool is clean and inviting, the private beach is small, but has nice sand, lots of shells and crabs for the kids to play with and the sea is good to swim in. There is no good snorkelling directly off the beach that I am aware of, but just a 5 minute boat trip away there are some islands that have some very nice snorkelling, also for children. The restaurant has nice food and friendly staff. There is a free morning and afternoon tea for the guests with some interesting local bites to eat. The staff makes you feel very welcome. The only negative for this resort is that you are in sort of a 'bubble' - there is not much to do in the surrounding areas. As a result, your are confined to the resort's facilities. We did not get a massage nor used the spa at the resort, because the prices were outside of our budget. The resort has a dive centre attached to it, which we used for boat trips to some small islands off the coast. These little islands are great for snorkelling and local food. Make sure you have enough local currency, because the exchange rate at the resort is very low. To end on a positive note, our children (5 and 10 years old) voted Cocotinos as their favourite place to stay on Lombok.

Beautiful Resort , Lovely Staff
The best holiday ever. All the staff were wonderful , always helpful. We had a great time snorkelling in stunning blue waters across incredible reefs. The resort organised some lovely day trips for us around the countryside and the local people in the vilages are so friendly.Our stay was perfect from start to finish. A great variety of food at Ela Ela Restaraunt in the resort . Top quality facilities and we had a lovely room with indoor shower and outdoor shower to choose looking right over the pool to the ocean.We also had some great massages at Lalenia Day Spa. Would recommend Cocotinos for anybody looking to relax , chill and be pampered

Top notch hotel with wonderful views of the bay. Great staff, spacious and clean rooms, tasty if slightly "touristy" food. On the downside - a fair bit of rubbish in the water from the nearby villages. But the scenery makes up for it!

Lovely hotel but far from the city.
Getting there is quite a distance. Remote area. Initially not too sure if it's going to be a nice hotel as we checked in. But once we got to our room it was nice lovely. We enjoyed our stay as we wanted the peace n quiet. Snorkeling in the nearby islands was fantastic. Not a place to go shopping or nite out.

Mixed Feelings
Unfortunately from the photos on the hotel's web site and reading other reviews, I set my expectations too high and in the end I was a little bit disappointed. I expected international standard luxury but found the hotel to have more of a local feel. Having said that, for the price the hotel is pretty good and most of the staff are pleasant and keen to please. The beach was disappointing and the noise from the kids in the pool was often annoying. I asked to move to a quieter room and felt the staff could have handled it better - I did move rooms eventually but I had to drive the situation as the staff were not very motivated to do anything. WIFI is only provided in the restaurant and it's unreliable, however a computer room is provided for guests. Not having wireless in the rooms is unusual for a resort of this standard. Free afternoon tea and snacks is provided in the restaurant which is a nice touch.

Great place to stay
Excellent caring staff,always going out of the way to make the experience better. They discovered we were interested in shells so took our children snail hunting.Food was excellent. The manager spent one hour helping me sort out a computer issue I had. The english skills of the staff were a lot better than many the staff in hotels in bali that we stayed at. Negatives were the spot is a little isolated from the rest of Lombok with one and a half hour journeys to cities and other areas but if you want to relax and be pampered then this hotel is excellent.

Schnorcheln super, der Rest verbesserungsfähig
Wir sind mässig zufrieden. Zunächst würde ich dem Hotel MAXIMAL 3 Sterne geben. Wir waren auf unserer Indonesien Reise in einigen 4-Stern Hotels, die alle um einiges besser waren. Wir haben im Voraus das Hotel angefragt, ob ein Transfer von Bangsal angeboten wird. Uns wurde dann zugesichert, dass ein Fahrer auf uns warten würde (für 650‘000). Am Hafen war dann jedoch keiner und wir haben ca. 1h gewartet bis wir dann vor Ort sind den Transfer organisiert haben (für 450‘000). Im Hotel wurde uns dann vorgeworfen nicht auf den Fahrer gewartet zu haben und wurden deshalb eher unfreundlich empfangen. Diese Unfreundlichkeit blieb dann auch bestehen. (Der Manager war jedoch seehr freundlich) Für die Abreise haben wir dann nach einem Transfer zur 40min entfernten Fähre nach Bali gefragt, dieser wurde uns für 400‘000 angeboten. Wir haben dann nachgefragt, ob es auch eine günstigere Alternative gibt (da uns dieser Preis sehr hoch vorkam). Daraufhin haben wir nur eine schnippische Antwort erhalten, dass dies halt der Preis des Hotels sei. Das Essen ist sehr teuer! Es ist nicht super aber auch nicht schlecht. Wir konnten Schnorchelsausrüstung für 100‘000 ausleihen und direkt vor dem Hotel super schnorcheln (viele Fische, Seesterne etc.). War super schön!

De grootste teleurstelling in Lombok
Resort was onder de verwachting. Het is zeker niet een 4 ster resort waardig. Wij komen daar aan en kreeg eerst een kamer waarvan de buiten douche niet werkte. De put van de doiche was verstopt, oemand kwam om te repareren, maar het was niet geluk. Wij kregen een andere kamer, waarvan van alles mankeert. De beddengoed was smerig, al lang niet verschoont. Het dak lekte. Elke dag tussen 4 en 6 uur kregen wij tea time, maar wat wij kregen stelden niks voor. Maar de volgende ging het wat beter, omdat de eigenaar er was. Zwembad was niet onderhouden. Komt vooral niet buiten de vakantie periode, dan is de service erg ondermaat.
