The location, it can’t get better than this. The staff very helpful, the restaurant for breakfast with amazing food. This was our best stay in all summer vacations, we even changed our plans to stay two more nights there, it was perfect!

It was perfect

Beach proximity Possibility to dive Calm area

We liked the hotel room we had, which was in the ground floor. We also liked that the hotel has a scuba diving centre so we took advantage of it and gave it a try and loved it !!! Such an amazing experience :) the breakfast is also very good

Unfortunately, we had some issues in the 2nd night because the toilet was losing water so they changed us to a room in the first floor. They said it was the same type of room but this one was smaller and the bathroom as well. We had to pay the same price anyway, we weren’t very happy with the change of room tbh. But in general the hotel is good

Clean and friendly staff

Fantastic location with a chill out vibe. An absolute must if you want to learn to scuba but also lovely if you don't. Having the pool is great but being so close to the beach for early morning swims and late evening sunsets. Would highly recommend this place, the staff are so friendly, accommodating and very good fun. Its the better side of the island.

Location

Check in procedure.

The location! The staff! The cleanliness! It’s all STUNNING. Perfect spot for anyone, especially those who want to give diving a shot

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice rooms/amenities and convenient location on sunset side of Gili Air.

Would be useful to have rails/hooks to hang towels in room.

Location was fantastic. Staff were very attentive and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. Breakfast by the beach was wonderful and being next door to Sands Beach Club was a bonus!

Cleanliness could have been a little better.

Every morning someone from the hotel came to ask how we were doing. He helped us plan our trip And gave valuable tips to enchance our trip.

The hotel is situated right on the beach, with the breakfast being served by the cafe on the beach front where there are a bunch of tables and deck chairs. The pool area is also really nice and planted out well so it doesn’t feel like a concrete jungle! We rented bikes nearby so it was super easy to get around the island. Staff were nice and helpful. We walked from the harbour, it takes 20 minutes on foot. You can watch the sunset from the hotels beach so it’s a buzzy spot in the afternoon and evening which is nice. There’s also a volleyball court and a slack line. We didn’t use the diving school but the team there seemed nice.

Bathroom door is obscured glass but you can still see through - you can see when someone is on the toilet so unless you’re very comfortable with who you’re sharing your room with, this could be a problem! Our room also had a damp musty smell, we figured it was due to the lack of sunlight in our room / patio. It was hard to dry things, our towels etc were constantly wet.

One of the best properties located on the beachfront! Great vibe, free sunset viewing on bean bags, good breakfast and above all, well maintained rooms. I would stay here again if I visit Gilli Air. There was a dedicated person who would check on us everyday, he provided us with so many recommendations for food and spa, very honestly advised us about the pricing as well. I visited the place with my mom and we felt extremely comfortable and safe here :)

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities.

Modern room with good AC, mini fridge. Nice breakfast on the beach each morning and a very lovely pool.

Wifi and TV didn’t work. Room was fairly small for the price (no space to separate the twin beds apart so it was hard for me and my sister to sleep well). Run by a friendly couple but lots of non-local staff so it didn’t feel very authentic.

Friendless of all staff.

Room smell Damp, spoke to receptionists. Shower curtain or door glass panel required to stop water spray. Not good for wheel chair access, one of the party was in a wheel chair which made it awkward.

All staff and instructors were really friendly and created a amazing environment around the hotel, the diving was mesmerising, I would recommend a dive to Halik if you get a chance, the food on the onsite was great, slightly limited on breakfast selection

Nothing

The location is perfect if you want to get out off the more busy area of Gili Air as it’s located on the northwest side of the island. The swimming pool is excellent and clean with enough space to sunbathe (they also have a scuba diving training pool). The location is amazing as it’s right at the beach. I loved that you’re having breakfast on the beach also.

The room felt not as clean as other places as there were some centipedes crawling on the walls or floor. In addition there were still some squished mosquitoes on the walls from previous guests. In addition, you’re giving the toilet a very rough time if you’d have to go for no. 2. Our toilet clogged twice. Yes, this is without dumping toilet paper into the toilet.

Clean room and comfortable bed. Good Air conditioner. Hot shower. Nice pool. Sunset at the beach. Close to diving sites.

Average food and drinks.
