The surfspot can get quiet crowded, especially in the mornings - but the sunset sessions always made up for that :)

Nice vibe. Great music (no boom boom shit) in the bar/resto. Tasty food. Very friendly stuff. Somehow all the guests staying there were, above average, nice, interesting and good-loking too... Tastefully decorated and clean rooms. Top surf material. Nice long reefbreak nearby that you can get a free (and fun) car&boat-transportation to directly by the resort, twice a day. Banging massage. Quiet at night.

The room can be cleaner, spider webs and dust in the corners and cornices of the room need a thorough cleaning, some shelves were dusty.

Lee-ann and Tim are great hosts with well trained friendly staff and they do everything in their power to make all things go smoothly (only thing is - they can't organise the waves too 😂 but Tim does choose the best time according to the tides for the surf boat to go out twice a day). Small improvements that will make the stay even better: The water fountain in the dining room can be replaced by a cooler, this will be really nice for us tourists that are not used to the constant heat. When full included breakfast (7-10am) is missed due to surfing it will be great if a couple of boiled eggs can be made available for each surfer. It is hard to survive on toast and fruit after a 2hr morning surf session.

What did I like?! If I could score 12, I would. 🙂 From A to Z, the incredible hosts Lee-Anne and Tim, the friendly and very competent staff, the delicious food, the cool surf routine, the amazing relaxed vibe, the fabulous room and infrastructure, the remote location… staying at Ombak is a full experience! The context created makes you feel the best… Strongly recommended.

Lack of eftpos/credit payment was a concern, but they helped us pay via a nz bank acct - so that was great. The closest at to withdraw cash was a 30min scooter ride away, but for some reason they didn't work for us, so we went to the next one, and the next... And 3 hrs later gave up.

Quiet, friendly, and very well maintained. They went the extra mile to make staying there a great experience.

Had a great time at Ombak resort where I discovered surfing, which may become a new passion! Lee-Ann and Tim, as well as the whole team, are super nice and will make everything to make you feel comfortable. Everything is very well organized, especially when it comes to surfing the nearby spots. As a true beginner, I felt very welcome and will definitely want to come back!!

N/A

Leanne and Tim were exceptional hosts, they could not do enough to make sure we had a great stay. The staff were excellent and a good laugh. The food was very good and the resort in general had a great relaxed vibe. Advice for trips and travel was always on offer and everyone seemed genuinely interested in making you're time there as enjoyable as possible.

Wonderful, that's the word that comes to me. The managers are adorable, the staff efficient and kind, the facilities spacious, pleasant and very tasteful. The activities offered are of high quality (personally the snorkeling at the pink beach was simply splendid). Thank you very much for this moment

Amazing environment - great spot for surfing

Maybe the fact that there was no fish or prawn served at the restaurant. We ended up eating at Febys accross the road

Ideal place for surfers as everything is taken care of . We were not surfing and found the area too remote and quiet. We took our motorbikes and went around but it was all really far. The beaches around are beautiful though. It too rough to swim . We met lovely people at the resort from all Over the world which made our stay very memorable

Our stay at Ombak was so lovely! The owners, Leanne and Tim, and their staff (especially Pen) made our visit so memorable and provided fantastic service throughout our stay. The rooms and gardens are beautifully designed, blending luxury with local charm, and you can tell every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure comfort and relaxation. We loved the remote location and of course the incredible surfing ….and the daily massages’ from Man (or twice-daily 😜) will heal your body and mind!!! Thanks for a wonderful experience Leanne & Tim, we’ll be back again soon for sure! Cheers, Skye & George

Nothing!

The whole experience has been great! I would def stay again and recommend this place. Really well maintained, clean and cozy. The owners are lovely and always ready to help and the staff is very kind and always trying to make you smile. Loved every bit of it! Their surf coach Deddi, is also great for guiding in the break! The food is also quite good, don't miss to try their baba ganoush and the red curry!

We absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere is really warm and welcoming. The area around the pool, the restaurant and the rooms are lovely! The location is great - calm and overlooking the hills and very close to the surf spots. Twice a day they will bring you to the surf spot by truck and boat at the best times according to the tides. Lee-Anne and Tim and all the staff create a beautiful place and atmosphere where you would want to stay forever. We extended our stay twice and for sure will be back!

A great vibe about the place. Where people can socialise and follow their water passions. Tim and Leanne plus all the staff work hard to provide great service. Cannot recommend more highly.

Area is quite remote. We had A/C issue but didn't get immediate attention or offer to change to other vacated room, until the next day.

Close to surfing spots.

Perfect place to stay in Ekas

Great place for surf and relax in the Ekas peninsula area with lovely hosts. Away from all the hustle and bustle of other parts of the island. Loved the surf tips, transport and help from expert host Tim

Stayed in July 2024

Tim and Leanne have created an amazing experience in Ekas for those looking to wind down and surf! The property had a beautiful garden with pool, comfy rooms and a great kitchen/bar area. The team there were so helpful and made us feel right at home!

Great relaxing oasis tailored for surfers.Ombak offer a boat shuttle 2 x day out to the surf break. Wonderful hosts took care of all our needs. We were here for kitesurfing as well so Ombak's location works well if you are interested in both surfing and kitesurfing. Kitesurfing is 15min scooter ride away.

The staff are all extremely friendly, genuinely so, and the chef is brilliant. Leanne & Tim have a great vibe going there. It feels like home away from home.

The fact that I only stayed 9 nights in total

Ombak was probably one of the nicest resorts I have ever been to. In this place, everything is in harmony. The owners and the staff are super friendly and funny. The range of surfboards and surfspots available is superb. I just had a blast there and was able to progress quite a bit in my surfing. Tim, Anne and their lovely staff put great effort and passion into their work to make sure you will also have a great time there - thats for sure.

Pretty hard to find something I didn’t like… perhaps if they could arrange for the tides to be good at dawn each day it’d be an improvement? But I think shifting the moon’s orbit might be a bit much to ask! 😂

Lovely, genuinely friendly staff. Breezy hilltop location. Great food. Convenient boat rides out to Inside Ekas… and not too expensive either.

This is place is beautiful! If you are looking to relax, rest and surf look no further. I have been coming to Indonesia for some time now and this may just be my favourite spot, surrounded by amazing staff and delicious food.

Stayed in June 2024

Nothing we disliked but what would have made it even better would be hot water showers, and a kettle/tea in the room so we can make our own tea would be really great.

Ombak resort was really great! We stayed only for 2 nights but could easily stayed a week. If you’re a surfer it’s perfect because the accomodation includes 2 scheduled boat rides a day and there are boards for hire. The room was really nice, comfortable, clean and well kept, and the same with the grounds. We felt really safe, it was super quiet at night and the staff were really good. From the food to the massages, everything was very amazing. The onsite owners/managers we super helpful, friendly and made everything easy for our stay. Would definitely stay there again if we visit Ekas!
