What a lovely sunset point. The hike is almost a short walk and there is plenty of places to view the sunset from, and also accommodate the crowd (we went on a Sunday so the place was quite packed - but this isn’t really a problem because of the area). Definitely recommend the drive from any part of Lombok, which is a beautiful comfortable drive full of tree canopies and views of adjacent rice fields.

One of the most beautiful view point’s I‘ve ever been to! The big hills and wide view over the sea are breathtaking! The water is so clear and blue! Also nice if you are looking for a sunset spot. It’s not that busy, you can just walk up and down the hills and you‘ll always find a quiet spot.

What a wonderful place. Merese Hills located in the middle beautiful beach. The blue sea, the green hills, the white sands… its like a dream place. Definitly, I’ll come to visit again!

No word can describe the stunning view and amazing atmosphere at this view. I am so happy our trip with friends ended here with this perfect view. The wind is very strong but the drone is stronger! Strongly recommend to go

Incredible Viewpoint! A little fun "hike" but with views all the way. From here you can reach lonely beaches. If you are in Lombok i can only recommend going there. The hills themselfes reminded me of rohan in the lord of the rings.

This is a stunning location and walk. One can drive to the entry and walk all the way to the end of the cape! A small fee is collected at the entry. The only issue and why it is 4 stars is that I spotted a number of plastic trash on the trails from people just throwing it down the hill. Keep the trash to yourself when visiting! Future visitors will thank you for it. Don't spoil a beautiful spot in Lombok. The grazing cows will thank you too for not accidentally landing some plastics in their diet. As you walk towards the cape, spot the pristine beaches on both sides. Some of them might be tricky to get down to so go only if you are confident. At the end of the cape, there's a nice sandbar connected to an outcrop, quite a beauty! Seems like the scene changes depending on the seasons too, so it's a fresh spot to visit.

Beautiful sunset, beautiful view from above the hill The scenery it is natural and raw, absolutely wonderful. My couple and I really enjoyed the moment here, more than the MotoGP We Love Lombok!

Such a cool place to watch a sunset! Better to come at 16.50 and explore all hills, bring water with you! ❤️‍🔥 Crazy cool views

Actually the places is good and refreshing, the wind blow cooly even when it's in the heat of afternoon! But sadly, because of a long dry season without rain in the past few months the hill is not green and more to brown. Some tips, come here when the dry season is over so you'll get more awesome picture :)

Very Nice bay with hill and beach， peaceful sight including nature and city， enjoy sunset with kinds of people from all over the world， maybe international politics is more and more unpredictable nowadays，hope we can still hold on peace and love.

Amazing sunstes view To reach the peak need a 10 minutes hiking Spacious parking lot Parking fee is 5000

Such a beautiful place! I would recommend to come before 10 am, otherwise it’s difficult to see all of the spots because of heat. But it’s definitely place to see

Beautiful view and perfect place for a relaxing hike or swim. You can climb multiple hills and see the sunset above Kuta. Parking fee: 10k for scooter

Very nice and easy trail to do, not to much people. The beaches was beautiful. They asked us to pay entrees 10k each. If you go, be sure to have a driver waiting for you or rent scooter because no taxi there and you have to walk more than 1hour to reach the nearest civilization. Even the locals at the entrance offer you 100k to be driving to Kuta in scooter (10min drive).

Amazing beach front restaurant! We booked here for our Christmas Day set menu and it was incredible (awesome gravy, roasties) and the cheesecake was the best I’ve ever had ❤️ staff super friendly and helpful and great price too. We loved it so much we came back the last night for dinner and we’re equally as happy with the venue :) thanks so much xx

Amazing hotel, with lovely staff and perfect location on the beach for snorkeling with turtles and the sunset. We ate there a bunch of times and everything was yummy. One day I found the chef on the beach buying freshly caught fish off a local and so I ordered it for dinner - it was honestly the best fish I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

We stayed here one night. It was a last minute stay as we had originally planned to stay in Gili Air this night, but after a problem at the hotel in Gili Air where the accommodations did not meet our standard we decided to head back to Gili Meno. It was a busy time in the Gili island b/c of the day of silence in Bali where many people leave Bali for night or 2 to avoid this holiday. The Meno house was booked where we had stayed 2 nights before so we booked here. Hotel was right on the beach. Breakfast was lovely. Chairs on the beach were comfortable. It was nice that they had a pool(s). We were a little bit stressed as we needed to catch a ferry back to Bali and the ferries were packed because of the return of many people back to Bali after the day of silence. In fact, an additional ferry was added that day but most people on the inland including the front desk at our hotel were unaware of this. It would have been nice if they had been aware of the extra ferry, not sure if the hotel should have done more research or the ferry company should have advertised better but that added stress to our vacation here. I actually do not recall our room much or our stay here but I think it was all fine for the most part but not as lovely as I wish it were. I remember I liked the Meno House better.

I am rating and describing only the restaurant. It was a delicious diner that We had in the beach hotel restaurant. The staff are good as well as the food. We took fish and chips as a main. Course and a toffee sticky pudding with vanilla Ice cream as desert ( we took first a pudding and pavlova but the last one was not good so has been changed and not charged) . The price are correct. I recommend to visit and had a dinner as they have a very beautiful beach view. May be I will come back to try the hotel on itself :) :)

Great welcoming and always smiling staff! They made our honeymoon even more special. Speed boat leaves you on the beach in front of the resort. Villa was tastefully decurated and it was facing the sea. Very good breakfast and restaurant with home made foods and fresh fish. Magic atmosphere at sunset! I definitely reccomand!

Came here to have dinner for my birthday! My husband arrange birthday cake also with affordable price and good cake! The appetizers, meal, and drinks were good! Services also good! All the staff even sang happy birthday when delivered the cake to our table!

Great place, the rooms are very nice, in a good condition. There are 2 pools with easy access from all rooms. The restaurant are fine, not fancy. The dishes they serve are well done. The menu is limited, and because there are not many options on the island, that is a problem. Breakfast is ok, but limited, and the same every day. Also a problem, because the are not really many alternatives. The staff is really friendly and all of them remember our kids name - that’s cute. We got picked up on the pier of Gili T, at the same minute we arrived from Bali, that was really great after a long day of traveling.

Beautiful location, great service and nice rooms. Food and drinks are also very fine. Altogether its a really nice hotel with value for money - our family would book again.

Amazing view with best food in the island. If you take private boat, you can dock right in front of hotel. I really liked that the hotel is newly renovated and quiet. The beach in front of the hotel is insanely clean too. There is dive shop only 2 min walk away from hotel so perfect for divers as well

Such a nice place! Great food, atmosphere and our server Aan and the rest of the crew were fantastic! We had a romantic candle light dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We can really recommend you to arrive just in time to see the sunset, which is beautiful from this place!

Enjoyed our stay at Mahamaya Friendly staff, good breakfast - possibly the most expensive place on Gili meno but you felt very well looked after! Premium on drinks /food if you want to stay at the hotel for the whole time you visit

The hotel is very exclusively placed on Gili Meno. If someone wants to have luxury stay away from hustle and bustle this is a great place. Their restaurant food is great as well, we got multiple vegetarian options here.

We had a comfortable stay at Mahamaya. A special welcome in our room to help celebrate our honeymoon was a lovely start. Room was clean and included unlimited drinking water and good amenities. The included breakfast was basic and nice, we ate elsewhere for dinners though for a little more atmosphere/food range. Beach-side service was good, but unfortunately the cocktails weren’t great. We enjoyed the complimentary bikes to explore the island.

Starting off with the location. Just awesome. Especially if you go there for dinner (with a reservation you'll get the best table) first row overlooking the beach and the beautiful sunset. The service was always on point and each one tried their best to fullfill all of the customers needs and wishes. I can recommend to each and everyone to go visit this restaurant

Really special experience. Located directly on beach with hotel’s loungers and tables, viewing the turquoise sea and neighbouring island. Loved the super king bed and outdoor shower. Ate every meal at the hotel and very impressed by the range, quality and presentation. Lastly, staff are attentive, available and very friendly!

We booked one of the two beach villas as a treat, it was lovely but if we stayed again I think I would book a standard room as all the rooms looked really lovely. Breakfast is good, only allowed one hot drink, but we could make more tea/coffee in our room. Only ate lunch once and it was very nice, restaurant was busy in the evening but we like to dine in more local places so can't comment on dinner but the setting is very romantic in the evening. Location - definitely best side of the island, good restaurants within walking distance, saw plenty of turtles either from our sun lounger or in the sea, close to the Bask underwater sculptures. Arranged a transfer via the hotel, which worked very well and meant we could arrive and depart from the hotel beach and not via the port on the other side of the island. Definitely the best midpriced place to stay on this beautiful and laid-back island 🏝

My partner and I ordered the mixed seafood grill and steak from the restaurant. While the grill and steak was decent, we felt that the price was a bit too expensive for the quality of food. Given that there are plenty of bars/restaurants in the area, we would recommend dining at other places!

We had a good time. You can snorkel right around the island, but we saw most sea turtles and beautiful coral right in front of the hotel. Lunch was good as well as breakfast. The menu items are just a little bit expensive compared to the local areas. We had dinner at a local restaurant. You get free snorkelling gear and bicycles to tour the island with. That was all great. One downside is the room- although beautiful and neat- it is not very practical. The airconditioning in the room was on it's last life and did not really work well. The bathroom is kind of open area with an outside shower, so the outside heat and humidity lies here. The door between the bathroom and the room does not seal well so the little cold wind the aircon tries to give, the bathroom heat seaps through and takes away. In the end it was very hot and we ended up sleeping on the floor where the tiles are cooler. The room door kept hitting inside the doorframe and made such a noise, we had to put a towel underneath the door to prevent it. Overall we had a nice experience. Sad to say, if you look at the rooms, we didn't get what we paid for. Everything else was fine.

They have tables in the beach and at night they are really nice! Make sure to make a reservation Food is pretty good, fresh squid was really good and the Nutella dessert amazing. A bit pricey compared to other restaurants in the island

Friendliest staff of the planet, and the quality of the hotel is amazing, I wonder how they can provide such a high standard on an island that has basically only beach and some trees, no cars etc. So a little luxury wonder on an island of pure peace 💛

Great beach, very clean and a beautiful view of clear blue sea. Great beach, very clean and a beautiful view of clear blue sea. I can recommend the restaurant Pink Swing. Good prices, beach mats and umbrella for free if you buy a drink. The only thing that bothers are really pushy sellers who don't take no for an answer.

Crystal clear water, very beautiful. I was there for surfing, we went out to the surfing spot with a boat. There is some plastic on the beach.

Great beach with white sand and calm sea, drinks, food and sun beds available. You can rent a surf. Recommended for beautiful view of sunsets. With the permission of the staff, we were allowed to set up a bonfire on the beach in the evening.

Still one of the most beautiful beach in Lombok. A bit dirty with all the seaweed on the shore but it's OK, for MotoGP preparation, there will be a new road coming directly from Kuta, so expect more people visiting and more garbages I assume.

Very clean, wonderful and sandy beach. By far the best beach i visited in south lombok. Only downside is that too man people want to sell you stuff (every 5 minutes). So sadly you can't really relax there.

Awful experience. Every motorbike has to pay a 10K fee for parking. I would gladly pay if the beach was a minimum clean, but it’s all dirty.. Plastic pollution everywhere. Where does the money go? It’s not the beach it used to be a few years ago. And the access is not pleasant as you have to drive through the highway in works.

Beautiful white sandy beaches with little huts along the beach. They provide activities such as snorkelling and surfing. But there was so much litter on the beach. And also the are several sellers that will not leave until you buy their items such as bracelets. But the moment you purchase it, their friends will come and force you to buy the same items from them. So avoid buying unless you really need it at that moment.

This is one of the best beaches of Lombok. Not hard to get to, umbrellas, drinks available. No rocks in the sea and no big waves ! Perfect

clean and beautiful beach. with clear and calm water is perfect for swimming or relaxing canoeing

Beautiful beach in kuta!! Very calm and empty, good for a relaxing beach day. Free sun beds and the restaurants have good prices, not crazy expensive like they usually are on the beach so huge plus for that!!

It was raining in the evening during my visit 🥹 currents are strong so its good for surfing i guess

Finally, got chance to visit this beautiful beach again. Much has been changed since the last time here. More crowd and has surf spot now

It’s easy to take beautiful photos of the blue sea and white sand but the truth is there is so much litter and no one takes responsibility for the amount of plastic going into the sea. The sellers on the beach are beyond annoying, basically harass you.

Just skip this beach, don’t waste your time & money to there. Don’t get cheated from all the outdated photos & video from social media. Even though with white sand but this beach is dirty & contaminated.

White sandy beach with calm water. Perfect to bring kids. Access road is in very bad conditions, don't understand why the local government let this happen. Contrary to new roads supporting Mandalika.

Just visited Tanjung Aan Beach this afternoon (Jan 02, 10.30 AM). The place was nice and calm. The beach is also very good. The parking fee is Rp 10K. Recommended place arround Mandalika.

Like a private island 😆 Need to be there by early morning or late afternoon 🤗 so we can be friends with the sun 🤭

White sandy beach and people come here for surfing. There are few restaurants to wind down while drinking coconut water. Also watching surfers in the distance. If you are visiting Bukit Marese, good to detour and wind down here.

Absolutely amazing beach to escape the crowd! The sun chairs are free if you buy one drink:) Perfect to relax, go for a swim and relax:) We went there for a couple of days and enjoyed the whole day there!

Such a quiet white-sand beach. Loved it! The road access was very well-developed. Would love to go back!

One of our best hikes we've done. It's challenging and demanding but the view is worth every step! You have to be fit to do this hike. Make sure to reach the summit before sunrise as the colours are amazing! It's gets really cold on the summit so make sure to take some warm clothes and jackets. We've done it twice and if we have the change we would do it again. 100% recommend

Unlike most people, we decided to hike up to the summit at around 3pm, and made it to the top at around 8pm. It was already dark by then but we were able to see an amazing sunset all by ourselves. Plus, going early in the morning for the sunrise also means that (1) you need to wake up at 2am and (2) you hike up with TONS other people, making the hike up the summit a lot harder and slower. I highly recommend going at 3pm instead.

great hike, camp 1 is on the crater rim, and the next morning you can walk to the summit which is the highest point along the crater rim. the ground is loose with scree so you will slide back with each step, making the summit harder than the altitude difference would suggest. coming down on the scree is surprisingly easy because you will slide down with each step

Great experience. Base camp to camp 1 was relatively easy, just pack light (essentials only + water). Options to take the motorbike taxi to Pos 2 for 200k or courier your bags for 50k. The climb to the summit was fun and not too challenging. You will almost always make the climb before sunrise so make sure to bring/rent trekking poles and headlights. It’s cold at the summit and pack extra for warmth.

If you have the chance to do this while on lombok i’d highly recommend it. We went up with guides and carriers and they were super polite. We did the 2 days 1 night trip, summiting on the early morning of the 2nd day. Prepare yourself as it is not an easy hike. Going up it was very busy so that was a bit of a pity but definitely worth doing.

Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia, after Mount Kerinci. In terms of beauty, it is second to none. There are few well known trails that offer different length/challenge/view. I opted to ascend thru Sembalun and descent thru Torean. From Sembalun to Plawangan (crater rim), it is a mix of flat and steep terrain, the view for the most part will be the awesome savannah. There is no shade at all during this part but most of the time you'll be covered by cloud so it is bearable. On the later steeper part nearing crater rim, it change a little with some not too thick trees that offer some shades, you can still see some views as the trees wasn't dense at all. Most hikers camp at crater rim before summit attack early morning usually around 2-3am. I started at 2.30 and reach the summit around 6am, just nice before sunrise. The trail from crater rim to summit basically can be divided into 3 parts. The first part is steep with some loose scree but certainly doable. There are ropes fixed at some points but I don't really need them so it's really not as hard as I initially thought. Second section is the longest in term of the distance but very easy with almost flat and solid surface. The last section is the one that you can see from crater rim where you camped, it is mainly made up from loose scree with plenty of dust (wearing a buff will be helpful here). Not as hard as I made to believe, but very very dusty. View from the summit is a majestic 360 degree view with Bali and Mount Agung on one side, savannah on the other, plus Segara Anak and range of mountains. Totally worth the effort. Most people told me to bring gaiter but I don't have any issue without it, not a single rock entered my shoes but I can't say the same to my friends. After descend, we went to the Segara Anak lake to camp. The descend from crater rim to Segara Anak was the most challenging due to the extreme heat. We started the descent a bit late at around 1.30pm due to one of my friends is a slow walker. Try to descent before noon as you will get shade due to sun directions during morning time. Hot spring near the lake is very welcomed after a long hike. The last day from Segara Anak to Torean village is fairly easy, there is some sections that require hikers to be more attentive due to narrow path next to the cliff. The view is totally great but you will be exposed to the elements again. After a while, you will enter a jungle area with no view but that also means you no longer exposed to the element. We trekked with Green Rinjani and I would rate them extremely high. Excellent service, the guide (Andhy) and porters really hardworking. I would recommend them without hesitation.

The trek is beautiful but it is extremely challenging. There is a lot of loose gravel so make sure you have good shoes.

Chill hike except the last stretch that is slightly challenging. Good view for those who made it to the summit. No training needed but would bring thicker socks for sleeping

*This review is based on my 2017 experience* We choose the 3 days 2 nights trip with local company. I thought I was in good shape but this hike still kicked my butt! 8 hours of non stop hiking everyday definitely pushed me beyond my limit. But the view was out of this world! If I could redo it again I’d pick 4 days 3 nights so I’ll get to enjoy each pit stop a little bit more. Shout out to the porters who were the real heroes!!!

The views on mount rinjani is incredible. Went for a 3D2N trek up from sembalun. The hike up on the first day, was manageable and we enjoyed the different scenery and cool weather. Took us about 7 hours to hike up and we reached the crater rim around 4pm just in time for the sunset. Stayed the night on the crater rim, view up on crater rim is fantastic enough. We were blessed with great weather and clear cloudless sky but extremely strong cold and never ending wind. The wind blew continuously such that our tent collapsed in the night. Woke up at 2am for the summit and the hike up was a killer. The terrain of lava rocks up the steep steep summit in the relentless cold wind, made it very tiring to climb. But the view up there is amazing even before the summit. The whole experience was breathtaking literally. The hike up the summit was too tiring for us so we opted not to continue to the lake but to descend to pos3 to camp for the night. The descend was really tough for us and taxing on the knees. Highly recommend challenging yourselves on mount rinjani. My advice is to be prepared with proper cold weather attire, and hit the gym more often before the hike. Have a fun and memorable experience!

It's almost every experienced hiker dream to climb Mount Rinjani. The popular trek starts from Sembalun Village and finishes at Torean or Senaru Village. You need to go with a professional local guide and hire porters for a smooth and pleasant hike. The most difficult part will be at the summit where there are many sands and loose gravels. Wearing gaiter when summiting is advisable. If you want to hike to Mount Rinjani with great guide & porters, kindly contact us: IG: @trekkingtherapie

Mt. Rinjani is one of the toughest but yet offers one of the most astonishing scenery and experiences to me. You start with unique landscapes of Savanah grassland, climate alpine and eventually to planet Mars like barren volcanic terrains before reaching the summit. You need more than just stamina to pull you through....your mental strength is equally important. Do get a good team of guide and porter to support you on the climb. These people are unbelievable and help to make things happen.

Be prepared to experience primitive living, camping grounds have limited basic facilities, i.e., no toilets, clean water . Extra care of your foods doesn't upset your stomach.

Not a great hike really, from the opinion of a very experienced hiker. The trail is barely maintained if at all, it's mostly volcanic sand so you're slipping constantly, it's pretty unsafe. In a two day hike it rained heavily the entire first day, everything was soaked. We were told by our tour operator there would be a group of 6-7 people, we ended up being surrounded by a good 250+ hikers and porters, sometimes literally queuing behind slow people. There's so much rubbish around all the stopping points and trail, the tour companies clearly don't clean after themselves and the rangers (if they exist) don't clean either. There are macaques around attacking people and stealing food, and Chinese tourists feeding them which is even worse! The views from the rim down into the crater were nice for the 20 minutes that it wasn't obscured by heavy cloud and fog cover. I've hiked a lot around Europe and I would return to the Alps or Scottish Highlands long before I hike Rinjani again.

Climbed the Mt Rinjani on a 3D/2N hike. Amazing experience, pretty easy if you are well trained but can be difficult from 50m before the summit. Had a lot of wind at the summit which was terrible but the view once up there was unbelievable at the sunrise. I recommend if you are looking for a bit of challenge during your trip in Lombock.

Went 3 days 2 night, reached the summit and hiked down to the lake for the 2nd night. It was totally worth it, too bad I didn't go through torean route

Beautiful views. The trail can be intense and could use some trail maintenance. And trash pickup. But the nature really shines. My one piece of advice would be very careful what tour company you book. We booked John’s Adventure and they ran out of water on day 2 of our 4 day hike. They offered us unfiltered stream water instead. We had to end early because of their mismanagement. You can read that review via my profile. But back to the mountains… it’s beautiful. I’m not sure you need a guide. We saw many groups leave their guides behind because they were in better shape. The views of the lake are phenomenal. We especially liked camping by the lake because it was less crowded and felt peaceful. The hot springs are beautiful, bring something to swim in. The hike down to the lake is slow going because it’s steep steep. Back up to the rim was steep but felt better maintained. Hiking from the rim out was the easiest day. Though certainly slippery there is less gradient.

Amazing experience, we did 2 days/ 1 night. It's a difficult and intense trek because the ground is very technical but it deserves to be done because the view at the top is breathtaking.

We did our 2D1N to the summit with NemoeTrekking, we recommend. The hike is difficult on the second day. Expect to wake up at 2am and begin around 230. You need to be prepared physically and mentally. The volcanic rocks are slippery during the last hour. Good luck!
