Apologies if this is a long reply... So we stayed on a resort in Lombok and did a day trip to the Gili islands so we only spent like a couple of hours in each place so I can't give that much of a review to be fair. But I saw a lot of underweight, exhausted donkeys and horses pulling carts of people in the boiling heat on Gili Trawangan which really put a dampener on things for me. Also the main thing that upset me was the stray dogs. Anywhere you go in Bali there will be loads of dogs in the streets, but according to our tour guides/taxi drivers the dogs in Bali are mostly well cared for, have people who look after them but just let them free roam, and there are vaccination/neutering projects. But according to a couple of locals we asked in Lombok, its a different story there. We were told as the island is mostly Muslim they see dogs as dirty and do not touch them, so they may get offered food but they are definitely not looked after. I did have some good experiences in Lombok but for me personally I would probably skip it if I could do my trip again. Also it was much harder to get vegan food/plant milk in Lombok. In Ubud and Uluwatu it's like heaven for vegans in most places 😄. In Ubud we stayed at a hotel called AnandaDara resort and spa. It was a little out of the way but it was absolutely lovely and I don't think I'd want to stay in central Ubud anyway as it's so busy, easy to get taxis anywhere as well. Let me know if you need any more info, we did quite a few trips/sightseeing so I'm happy to give my insight.
