I loved this hotel! Because it is situated right next to one of the best beach of Gili Air, accessible even at low tide, where you can see all sorts of fish and turtles a few meters away from the beach. Unfortunately there is no room with direct sea view but still. Because I loved their signature suites. It is so cute! You have a small balcony, the main bedroom decorated in a cute beach style, the bathroom (ok but nothing special there) and, whaouh, a staircase going to your private « rooftop terrace ». There, you have a hamac, plugs to work (I couldn’t believe it but the wifi worked well during all our stay), ottomans and a fan. Because my bed was equipped with a mosquito net :-). The mattress was ok, not great but still comfortable. There were enough plugs in the room. Because the food was good: breakfast hasn’t got a lot of choice but a woman is making delicious crepes; lunch is very good (we ate there twice) and we had the barbecue on the beach at night and the fish we had was also great and very fresh (I had another one in an another restaurant during my stay and I can tell you that the quality of the fish was lower, compared to sunrise) The swimming-pool was clean, as well as the room. The pool area is nicely decorated. Because you feel you are in a little paradise. Ok, so why not a rate of 5? Well, first the equipments: here, be prepared, there isn’t a TV set in your bedroom (I don’t care as I never watch it during holidays), no phone to contact the reception (take your feet and go there!) and your mini-bar consists in a quite noisy mini fridge where water bottles are stored. Second, because of service: here, you are a little by yourself (you get your towels by the pool and you write your name on a paper left next to it; you’d better go to the bar to fetch a drink when you are on the beach as the waiter doesn’t come often; the restaurant area could be cleaner, I think; the receptionist is a very funny man - he made me think of French comedian Jamel Debbouze- who is willing to help but be ready to wait for any of your demand; the manager is not what you can expect and quite unfriendly). Yet, note that it is a three-star hotel, so, nothing can be perfect. And you can rent bikes from there or arrange a boat trip, as many other places on the island. Plus, there is a small shop where you can buy souvenirs. And this island is so charming!
