There are 3 main ways to get to Lombok:
1. Fly - There are now 2 airlines, Merparti and Air Mark. Meparti's planes look much bigger and I've flown them before with no problem. I recently flew air Mark, which has very small planes and was bumped plus they sent my bag on an earlier flight which was a little difficult to find. cost :256,000Rp
2. Shuttle- you can take this from Kuta or Ubud. It includes bus to Padang bai, 4 hr. ferry to Lembar, bus to wherever you want to go in Lombok. It takes a long time but is very cheap!
3. Mabua Express- this 2 1/2 hour ferry costs $25 US and goes to Lembar harbour. It goes once a day, I think in the morning.
Hope this helps!
