Gili Trawangan hotels

It shows not to read too much into reviews. Night before read this site and the more damaging reviews almost made my girlfriend and I choose somewhere else. Thank god we didn't. We are a young couple (25yo) stayed in the Deluxe Terrace room. The room was nothing amazing, but more than comfortable. Indoor bathroom. Only complaint is lighting wasn't very good. However you do not come to Gilly T to spend time in your hotel room!! The outside swimming pool was amazing with a bar in the pool. Had a really good vibe about it. It is 1 minute away from the beach where you get an amazing sunset view and get drinks and food delivered to you. The standard of food in the restaurants was good and didn't;t cost a fortune. Breakfast was standard and again quite cheap. In terms of distance from Gilly T...its about 10 minutes by horse and cart...absolutely never was an issue. All the nice parts of Gilly T are on this side of the island. We went for a night out in Gilly and it was great but I wouldn't want a hotel there!!! I couldn't recommend this hotel enough. People on Gilly aren't as polite as they are on Bali (Culture and religion is different here) and we fully expected to be writing a bad review for this hotel. Pleasantly surprised!! https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g664666-d2306581-r422818949-Hotel_Ombak_Sunset-Gili_Trawangan_Gili_Islands_Lombok_West_Nusa_Tenggara.html#

Me and my wife had a wonderful experience here. There is some renovation going on but it didn't bother us. Our romantic dinner was great with a personal butler and it wasn't even hindered by rain. Will definitely come again .

This hotel is situated towards the end of the strip up past scallywags. It has a gorgeous beach area for guests and the grounds and pool are lovely. Staff were really accommodating and prices weren't too bad. Only constructive criticism id have is that the bathroom is open roofed so basically outdoors meaning when showering or on toilet I kept getting bitten by mossies or letting them into the room cause they were all lurking in the damp shower room ready to pounce soon as you open the door. Other than that couldn't fault it. Lovely island feel and staff were nice

We were at ottalia for 10 nights - great privacy and room exactly as described and pictured. great gardens. bit of building noise during the day - the staff were good. Aircon worked a treat and we didnt see a mozzie the whole time - (APRIL). Pool was well maintained, room was attended to every day regardless of which way we placed our door sign. wifi drops in and out but we didnt care. the power went off a few times but thats to be expected on such a small island. it didnt bother us. The ants are quick so dont leave anything edible outside the fridge or the room. breakfast buffet was fine - just not the poached eggs. bikes made life easy to get around and was quite fun and could go anywhere on the island. it was great overall and id go back anyday. was so good to be away from the hussle n bustle of the main street. i would take my family - felt very safe. Kayu cafe had the best coffee Tropica Gili has a fantastic massage lady - went 5 times!! Samba villas had amazing pizza Trawangan Dive had lovely food - especially the pastas and wedges! coffee was good too. Scallywags was nice but lots of msg in the food - in gravies and sauces - its at most places there really. The Pearl is nice for a daybed and food is lovely Great snorkelling on coral beach out past the big metal structures in the water.

This hotel should be rated more than 3.5 stars. This was a lovely hotel located right on the beach. The room was nice and clean and so was the pool area. The beach is on a good location with lounge chairs and the area where you can swim. The location to me was perfect. It wasn't in the busy loud section of town where it was noisy when you wanted to sleep, but it was walking distance to the pier and night market and bars. You can also rent bikes here for 50k rupiah a day and bike the whole island in about an hour. I definitely reccomend this hotel to anyone. Also on a side note: the ombak hotel is a great place to have a drink and watch the sunset and take a picture on their swings! Great hotel but not in the area you can swim on the beach.

Very relaxing here, away from the main area. We stayed in the Club Hotel section; wooded, very quiet, towards the back so a little walk to breakfast and back but it's worth it. Rooms are of a good standard, very clean, excellent bathroom. Great air con. Very good breakfast selction, from local cuisine to the usual eggs, omelettes, beans, pancakes, cheeses, fruits, juices and pastries. Bar service on one evening was a bit ropey, you can't sneak incorrect cocktails past us, if you don't have the correct spirits/liqueurs then just say so, guests can choose something else! Hafiz, one of the service team, was excellent and should be recognised for this. So pleasant and helpful. And funny too. Great guy! All the staff were happy, friendly, smiley, great bunch of people. There seems to be a bit of a panic in getting horse and carts on checkout (guests receive a letter the night before leaving), especially on a Friday when the service stops at 11am, but there was no panic really and everyone got transport easily. Hotel concierge arranges this when you're ready, guests pay the usual fee (150,000 for 2/3 people and luggage, takes about 20 minutes to the port), there's a small queuing system, it was all very easy. Overall a very pleasant and laid back stay. Make sure you grab a free bike and cycle round the island. It's mostly very easy with some decent food/drinks stops along the way. Note, don't bother with the night market. Fish made us very ill and it's not worth the trip.

Third time at Gili T over the last 8 years and second stay at this place. Still has a great vibe and definitely one of the best drinking bars on the island. We stayed in a deluxe room last time and I would highly recommend that you do the same. Whilst the standard rooms are OK they are not a patch on those at the other side.

Very nice room, had some issues with the electricity but the staff fixed the issue quickly. Enjoyed the stay here and would come back again.

Staff are fantastic, booked for 2 nights stayed an extra night. Staff even helped booking a boat to Lembongan island, he even went and picked up our tickets. Gilli is one amazing island.
