How to get to Rascals Hotel Kuta, Lombok?"There are several ways you can travel to Lombok A) By Plane The Lombok international Airport (LOP) is located only 25 minutes from Rascals Hotel. You can find direct flights from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. There are many domestic flights from most airports in Indonesia such as Bali and Java. We have found Garuda to be the best airline as it does not get delayed as much as ‘Wing Air / Lion air’ (same company). A quick tip: If you type in LOP and it comes up with Mataram, it is the same airport, they moved it from Mataram several years ago but didn’t update it on the website. B) Fast Boat from Bali Many people coming from Bali choose the option to come via fast boat. You can come straight to Lombok or stop at the Gili islands (Gili T., Gili Air & Gili Meno). The fast boats leave in Bali leave from PADANG BAI harbor, on the east coast of the island. Most companies go to the harbor in SENGIGGI or TELUK NARE (when coming from Nusa Lembogan). C) Slow Ferry from Bali Between Bali and Lombok there is a slow ferry running 24/7, usually leaving every full hour. You can take your motorbike or car on the ferry or just go as a walk-on passenger. The Slow ferry leaves from PADANG BAI in Bali and will arrive in LEMBAR in Lombok. D) Public Boat from the Gili islands If you come from the Gili T., Gili Air or Gili Meno you can easily come to Lombok by a public wooden boat. It takes around 20 minutes by slow (local boat) to arrive in Bangsal Harbor from any Gili Island.
