I had the most wonderful stay at Pondok Santi. The staff go above and beyond. The food is unreal & the whole place is peaceful and tranquil! Cooking class is definitely a must & breakfast on the beach was just magnificent! I highly recommend the mee goreng, strawberry daquari & nasi goreng! The rooms are also beautiful, beds are comfy and the turn down service they provide in the afternoon is fantastic! Ive never stayed somewhere where they have a turn down service! The coconuts are also freshly picked from the trees and the seafood is also so fresh and delicious!

Hidden and hip gem close to bustling city

Reviewed By 725arond

Pinkcoco is the best place to stay in Gili T. We spent 4 nights more than planned due to the location and the hotel service itself. They have their own chill area with service at one of the best beaches to watch the sunset and offer bike rental which takes you to the city in just a couple of minutes. great if you want to party but not be in the middle of the noise once you are ready to relax. The team was very helpful with arranging transportation and tips on what to do on the island as well. Highly recommend

Fabulous location, comfortable clean bungalow with lovely outlook; great facilities and food; friendly, helpful staff

Reviewed By A7149HPcarols

We spent three nights at the resort and only wished we could have stayed longer. The location was perfect - quiet and beachfront. The facilities were superb, with a restaurant and relaxation area on the beach. The food was amazing - we ate there every night and most other meals too. Bicycles and snorkelling gear was available. Our bungalow overlooked the beach and the sound of the waves at night was blissful. The traditional style was perfect, yet it offered all amenities including a really comfortable bed and daybed on the verandah. Wifi was always available. What made our stay simply perfect though was the staff - they were welcoming and helpful - nothing was ever too much trouble and they organised everything that we requested efficiently and with a smile. We sure were sad to leave, but we will certainly come back for a longer stay as soon as we can. Thank you Desa Dunia Beda for the most peaceful and relaxing holiday we can remember!

Pearl of Trawangan

Once upon a time there was an island kissed by the sun, with a cloak of fine white sand beaches and surrounded by pristine azure waters thriving with an abundance of marine life. Only a fairy tale? Not at all. You too can enjoy this tropical paradise. Our rooms embrace Gili Trawangan's rustic charm and tranquil island atmosphere that travellers have sought out for years. Set in tropical gardens they are the classic representation of island life with a hint of luxury.

Probably Best hotel on Gili T

Reviewed By raymBanchoryScotland

My second trip to Gili T but last time stayed in a different hotel close by. Loved that location and the Pearl looked fabulous so chose it for this trip. It is definitely the best location on the island and probably the best hotel. Close to the centre but not too close. Wonderful beach front setting with good sun beds where you can order from the restaurant menu. Food served to your sun bed on real plates and drinks in real glasses. Same at the pool. Which is beautiful too (swim up bar). Or eat in the upstairs part of the restaurant looking out over the sea. They have a fantastic bakery (cheesecake is amazing) serving wonderful cakes and really good ice cream. Most of the food we had was very good. Drinks were really good. Breakfast is amazing, best of the trip We had an pool view room which was large with everything you need (great shower) including two bottles of water daily. But have to say was a bit tired (seems normal for Gili) and lacked charm. But the hotel, location, grounds and facilities more than made up for it.. Very friendly staff. Definitely stay here again. Beach was generally very clean until there was a high tide. Next morning the plastic on the beach was shocking. Guests did a beach clean amongst ourselves. Staff could be more involved. Whole island could do better in this regard. Love Gili T, so laid back, hire a bike and nip about. Everything sooooo cheap. Can’t wait to go back. (We are a couple in our 50s)

Wilson's Retreat

Wilson's Retreat is a small boutique hotel set on a gorgeous strand of white sandy beach on the quiet north coast of Gili Trawangan. The location at the far end of the island lends itself to peaceful, lazy days lounging in the sun waiting for the most amazing sunsets over Bali's volcano and quiet nights under the starlit sky.

We ate at Wilson’s several times. Great friendly service and a wide ranging menu in a perfect setting overlooking the Bali straights. It’s worth jumping on a bike for the visit which won’t disappoint. Service was friendly in an ideal setting.

The Beach House Resort

Although a contemporary resort, we strive to retain the original features that are characteristic of Bali and Lombok. Set amidst tropical gardens, fronting onto the Lombok Straits, The Beach House reminds you of how Bali used to be. Enjoy all that The Beach House offers - the spacious and well appointed bungalows, villas or tree houses; a restaurant set in the sand at the edge of the water that features wonderful, fresh produce, a freshwater swimming pool with a bar and great sun-baking spots; and unbeatable service

The ultimate experience.

Best choice

Reviewed By darinaar

While having our vacation on Bali, me and my boyfriend changed the plans and decided to explore Gili Trawangan and booked Vila Nero. And that was the best decision! The rooms are really clean and stylish, outdoor shower was super natural. Location was good - we could walk to the beach and were a lot of spa places/cafes around. There was also amazing pool at the facility. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety of food and drinks. The staff was super friendly, helping us with all the requests and providing best service. We have really warm memories of this place and we definitely be back! Thank you for making our stay amazing!

Reviewed By craigtU1867LH

Stayed in Hotel Lumi for two nights travelling from Lombok. Hotel is situated about a 20min walk from the harbour or 5 mins in a horse dawn taxi, by the way there are no cars. This will cost about 100,000IDR. We had a great welcome from Ricky at the front desk and up graded to a Superior deluxe bungalow. Room is spacious and immaculately clean with good AC and bath room. Breakfast is self serve with great omelettes to order. Restaurant has a good all day menu and is reasonably priced. A must is the bikes. Lumi is a little way from some of the main spots and is quieter but supply a complementary bikes. You can cycle around the island in 30m and get to some great restaurants, snorkelling and diving sites. Coral beach is great for turtles in the morning. Ricky and the team run a great hotel creating a relaxed and value for money hotel.

Great Little Stay at The Vila Ombak - Holiday Trawangan

Reviewed By LouMc273

We visited this hotel whilst doing a tour around Bali. There were a couple of little issues on our arrival but these were NOT related to the hotel but to our tour company. The Front Office Manager Rully was there straight away to sort them out for us and went over and above board to ensure our 3 day stay was absolutely perfect. The hotel itself has just reopened after the pandemic and all the staff, locals and businesses are doing whatever they can to endure the tourists have a fab time. Loved it! Great setting, great staff, wonderful visit!
