Rested in Indonesia from February 1 to February 15.2011. The tour was one day in Bali on the day of arrival and back as well. Ramada Bitang Bali Hotel. Lombok from February 02 to February 14.2011, Sheraton Senggii Hotel. Operator PegasTouristik.
Flight - Yekaterinburg-Denpasar, 11 hours 25 minutes on an old Boeing 767, the flight was delayed by almost three hours (this is the norm for Pegasus, their planes never fly on schedule, which is sad, however). The flight there went well, we flew at night, we were fed twice, the food was loaded in ECAT, so it was possible to eat. The flight back home was delayed for 5 hours, but this only made us happy, as it was possible to take a walk in Bali. Apparently, Pegasus took into account the comments of other tourists, and the guide called us to the room at 7 o'clock in the morning and informed us about the flight delay, so we met at the reception not at 9 o'clock, but at 14 o'clock and left for the airport. The flight back was very difficult. The food was disgusting, it was the Indonesian side that loaded the food. Caught in a thunderstorm over Malaysia, a little shocked. We flew to Ekat at night at 2.30 local time, of course we were very tired. BUT HOLIDAY IN INDONESIA WORTH IT!
The Ramada Bitang Bali hotel, the buffet is excellent, the territory is a beautiful tropical garden, it is located not far from the airport, it took about 10 minutes to drive. The rooms are simple. The beach is dirty and the ocean too. This is the Kuta area.

They flew to Lombok by the local airline Garuda, Airbus 330, flight time 13 minutes, a clean plane, beautiful flight attendants, the children were given toys to us with cold tea in a bag. The flight is easy and pleasant, it’s a pity that we flew in the evening, we didn’t see anything, although the flight was delayed for 2 hours, as there was a thunderstorm and heavy tropical rain in Lombok.
It is very stuffy and humid in Bali, it is easier to breathe in Lombok. In general, the climate in Lombok is much more pleasant than in Bali.
Sheraton Senggigi hotel, a beautiful well-groomed area of ​ ​ a tropical garden, very beautiful. Good numbers. We had a superior with a terrace, it was very convenient to immediately have access to the garden. From the terrace there is a beautiful view of the ocean. To the pool 10 meters, to the ocean 30 meters. Deposit at the hotel 100 bucks. There is a kettle in the room, there are bags of coffee, tea, sugar. One Russian channel Planet RTR, all bath accessories. Cleaned at 4. Many write about the river, the river is not so close to the hotel and there is no dirt on the beach, the ocean is clean, the beach is cleaned early in the morning, there are almost no ebbs and flows. The ocean was always all 24 hours. Very beautiful not an ordinary pool. Breakfast buffet - continental. Just a lot and enough. True, by the end of the second week, everything was already boring. Very tasty coffee. Sometimes we had dinner at the hotel, delicious, but more expensive than in Senggigi. In the evening we went for a walk in Senggigi and dined there in restaurants, there were many, the prices are different. I really liked the simple restaurant Amalia, it is 7 minutes from the Hotel. The owner learns Russian and speaks and understands a little, there is a Russian menu, the prices are the lowest, very tasty. In general, for all the time, the pills that I took with me were not useful. Lombok is cheaper than Bali. The dollar exchange rate is more profitable, my advice is to change money on Lombok. Souvenirs, pearls on Lombok are also cheaper, but of course there is less choice. Lombok is a quiet, calm island, not like Bali. I really liked it. Anyone who wants a good relaxation without fuss, I recommend a holiday in Lombok, who needs parties, then you are clearly not here, it will be boring. There is no animation in the hotel, in the village too. Entertain yourself. I recommend trying fried bananas, pancakes with coconut and local araku vodka with honey, cool.
Excursions - went on two with Pegasus. Tours are expensive to the waterfall 70 bucks, to the islands 80 bucks, if you go with the locals it will be much cheaper. The locals speak English, so if you also know the language, you can go with them. The waterfall made an indelible impression, the path through the real jungle, beauty. Advice: wear good shoes, in the sense of not slates, the path is narrow through stones, a mountain river (knee-deep in water), fallen palm trees, a bridge with almost no handrails, we returned back through a cave knee-deep in water (mountain stream), in complete darkness and bats fly overhead, in short, a real extreme.

We also went to the islands of Gili Travagan, Meno, Air on a yacht, fed all day, generally spent the whole day just super. I really liked Meno Island, I just fell in love with it, snow-white sand, turquoise ocean. On all the islands we were given masks and fins, so we snorkeled, the underwater world is interesting, we saw a lot of fish and turtles. On Meno Island, we went to the bird park, where there are gorgeous cockatoo parrots. On Air they rode on a banana, water skiing, boards. In the evening we arrived tired and happy.
In principle, there are no more excursions. We went with the locals to temples, Lombok is Muslim, so there are few Buddhist temples and they are not very interesting. Were in the Pearl Gallery, of course the pearls are very beautiful. Blue, gold, black, pink pearls, jewelry is very beautiful. They give a certificate. Of course it's ocean-grown.
The hotel has a SPA, but the massage is expensive from 57 bucks. We went to the village and had a traditional Balinese massage for 70.000 rupees (8 bucks). We tried local fruits rhombutan and paradise apple, I liked it deliciously, especially the apple, it’s like yogurt inside.
Didn't want to leave.
Of the shortcomings, it's heaps of garbage everywhere. The hotel is clean, if you walk aside from the hotel you can see a bunch of garbage, no one cleans anything, and so it is all over the island. The locals think it will all rot like a banana leaf. Then they stopped paying attention to it.
