This was an absolutely amazing stay. The grounds are immaculate, the villas are amazing. The staff is so kind, so welcoming, so helpful on all fronts. They offer so many amazing activities, such as scuba diving on the boat, which I can confidently say is the nicest boat on Gili T. I would absolutely come back here again and will be recommending it to all of my friends.

Honestly one of the best beach holidays we've been on. The property is exactly as pictured, the staff were super friendly and helpful, and the food (especially the pizza!) was fantastic. We loved the private beach area where we spent a lot of our time. We won't be able to stay anywhere else when in Gili T, that's for sure :) Thanks for making our holiday so wonderful.

Outstanding staff, service, location. Top-notch. One of the great vacation trips for our family (two adults and two smallish children). We worried that Gili T would be too busy for our family, but it wasn't and I think a lot of that is down to how excellent this resort was., Truly amazing. Major gratitude to the staff who provided truly exemplary service for our whole stay.

Amazing place to relax on Gili T that’s still close to the centre of town. The bunglow rooms are lovely. Free bike hire. Breakfast is great. Staff are amazing and can’t do enough for you. Daily yoga is also a bonus with a great instructor. Would highly recommend a stay here if you have the opportunity.

Two night stay turned into a 5 night stay. The property is quite expansive, giving each villa lots of privacy and a much calmer environment. The pool and swim up bar were used quite frequently throughout our stay. Bartendes made the best fresh drinks and service was impecible. The hotel main beach is also a gem. Clear white sand, clean blue waters. We even snorkeled with turtles right out front. The hotel offers free masks and fins for snorekling, as well as free bike rentals. I would definitely recommend and return again.

No request too big. The villas are each completely stand-alone and very private with a walled garden area behind and individual decking area in the front. We had a villa with a private pool and this was kept well-maintained through our stay. The grounds are beautiful with shared activities happening throughout each day and plenty of spots to relax like hammocks and beds. The location is just far enough away from the main bar strip to be peaceful but close enough to cycle over when you want to party! You can eat breakfast right on the beach, which is a great way to start the day or you can have it by the pool which also has a swim up bar. The on site restaurant Ijo had a great menu and a wonderful vibe. Everyone on the staff was lovely and friendly and they went out of their way to help us from borrowing bikes to lifting luggage. Highly recommended are the hotel's excursions - they truly are once in a lifetime experiences. We took the private sunset boat tour with snorkeling and it was amazing! We'd visit again in a heartbeat. 5 stars!
