The Oberoi Lombok is a really lovely hotel, but it is definately not the place to go to party. It really is mostly honeymooner types who are not looking for other company!
Have you thought about going to the Gilis for a few days? Gili Trawangan is not bad for a party, plenty of people wanting to have a good time, few drinks, meet people etc - but laid back and no way near the hassle of Kuta Bali. Lots of inexpensive accom too.
Personally I'd leave the Oberoi for when you want to go with your boyfriend/husband for a really lovely, romantic stay.
