Wonderful gem of a hotel, with great beach views, delicious food & drink, and a most unusual and gorgeous bathroom with his n hers showers surrounded by a real fish pond. The staff are friendly and helpful, and Terry, one of the owners, was lovely and welcoming.
The room was beautiful – very tastefully appointed, with a massive and comfy bed. There was also good air conditioning. We never noticed any lengthy power cuts (common on the Gili Islands) & found that the amount of power plugs was sufficient for us. The hotel provided free wifi.
The location was perfect, on the quiet side of the island, so you can actually get some sleep, but you are not too far from the action if you wish to check out the ‘party’ side as well. Bikes are available to rent from the front desk though we just walked and it didn’t take too long (about 25mins). You could also get a horse & cart to take you to town.
The food and cocktails are delicious, and can be ordered to your room’s balcony, or the restaurant, or to the beach. Breakfast, which is included, is amazing! The banana pancakes were the best I’ve ever had.
There’s a great selection of comfy seating provided on the beach. Note that the beach isn’t suitable for swimming as the water is very shallow. There is also a fair amount of dead coral at the beach (through no fault of Gili Teak!) which can make for uncomfortable walking, so make sure to pack your water shoes with you. The hotel pool is a better place for a cooling dip.
