Wir würden jederzeit wieder hierher kommen. Wir haben die Zeit auf Gili Air in dieser Unterkunft sehr genossen.
Pros:

Wir sind mit zwei Familien angereist(mit 3 Kindern) und hatten zwei Bungalows. Diese waren sehr gut ausgestattet, mit Klimaanlage, genügend Betten. Der Hauspool war perfekt. Wir hatten mit Frühstück gebucht; welches sehr gut war. Zum Strand waren es ca.1 min. Dh. dieser befindet direkt im angeschlossenem Restaurant, wo wir auch gegessen haben. Manchmal gab es auch abends live Musik, was ebenfalls sehr schön war. Das Personal war immer sehr sehr freundlich und sehr bemüht unsere Wünsche zu erfüllen. Wir sind schweren Herzens abgereist.

Cons:

Nichts!

Coup de cœur du séjour.
Pros:

L’emplacement face a la plage des tortues et idéal pour le snorkeling. Le restaurant qui est rattaché à l’hôtel est vraiment super ! Le personnel aux petits soins. Merci pour la petite deco de chambre pour l’anniversaire de mon mari.
La piscine est vraiment agréable
Le petit déjeuner servi jusqu’à 11h est appréciable.

Cons:

Un mini frigo serait super !
Lorsqu’on veut dormir un peu le matin c’est difficile car les chambres sont proches du passage et on entends tout.
Peut être pas assez de transat détente autour de la piscine.

Good location, good pool, kind staff
Pros:

Extremely nice staff, that made everything possible for us to have a great stay. The receptionist went above and beyond to help us from renting snorkeling gears and bikes to ordering a buggy to take us to the port. Good pool, spacious bedroom and bathroom. We really appreciated having a full gallon of mineral water at our disposal in our room.

Cons:

We would have liked to have a softer mattress (theirs is more than firm) and better pillows. There were no hand towels available and the shower towels weren’t changed during our stay. The water pressure was very weak in the shower. The included breakfast consists of only one dish (eggs OR pancake OR fruit) and one (small) drink (one small cup of coffee OR tea OR juice) - you have to pay extra for everything else. The bungalows are very close to each other, so there is not much privacy (you can’t rest in your room with the door/window open without being seen by everyone else in the hotel).

Todo de 10: comida, personal y alojamiento
Pros:

Todo. La ubicación perfecta, a unos pasos de la mejor zona para hacer snorkel, tortugas enormes que se ven casi en la orilla. El desayuno increible, buenisimo; la comida y la cena del restaurante espectacular también, además al alojarte en el hotel te hacen descuento. El personal super amable, te ayudan en todo lo que necesites. Nos regalaron un coco y una bebida de bienvenida, todo riquisimo. El bungalow super bien, buena limpieza y te hacen la habitación todos los días. Si algún dia vuelvo a Gili Air, no tengo ni la menor duda de que me volveré a quedar en este hotel. Nada malo que decir.

Cons:

Todo perfecto.

Pros:

Alibaba bungalows was fantastic, the location is perfect, clean, really comfy bed and beautiful pool and the breakfast was delicious and a treat to eat it looking out over the sea. The staff are amazing, always friendly and Alho went out of his way to help us with trips, and booking the ferry etc. they even gave my husband a lift to the ATM to get money

Cons:

Nothing we didn't like, it was perfect, although we couldn't work out the air con, which worked to well, so was a bit chilly at night

Le meilleur spot de Gili Air
Pros:

La situation top au meilleur endroit pour admirer le lever du soleil et faire du snorkling pour voir les tortues et les beaux poissons. C’est aussi le côté le plus calme de l’Ile. L’espace jardin piscine très cosy, La chambre est simple, propre, climatisée lit confortable. Le petit déjeuner servi sur la terrasse les pieds dans l’eau est délicieux. Nous avons déjeuné au Restaurant karisma la nourriture était excellente. Et bien sûr le personnel est tout
simplement adorable. Bref pour nous c’était un sans faute. Nous ne regrettons qu’une chose c’est de ne pas être restés plus longtemps.

Cons:

Great Snorkeling, friendly staff and a fantastic bar Karisma
Pros:

Best location! You can see turtles snorkeling just in front the resort but the best was the personal and the bar from the hotel, they really make the experience better! Good breakfast and lot of options around the area!

Cons:

20-25 min walking to the harbour

Petit cocon au top pour un super séjour à gili air
Pros:

L’emplacement sur gili air est idéal, juste à côté du turtle point et parfait pour voir le lever de soleil.
L’hôtel est super cocooning. Le coin piscine n’est pas à la vue des passants comme c’est souvent le cas pour les autres hôtels, les bungalows sont suffisamment spacieux et confortables et tout sent très bon dans ces bungalows ce qui rend l’ambiance encore plus agréable.
L’accueil est top et le personnel hyper serviable et sympathique.
Il y a la possibilité de louer des vélos depuis l’hôtel ce qui est pratique pour se balader dans l’île (tour de l’île fait en 30 minutes).
Les petits dej sont sympas.

Cons:

Mooie locatie, accommodatie verdiend aandacht.
Pros:

De locaties is super. Tegenover de accommodatie is direct het turtle point en kun je met name in de ochtend fantastisch turtles spotten. Ook kun je bij het restaurant heerlijk eten en is de bediening erg aardig.

Cons:

De accommodatie zelf vond ik smoezelig. Het zwembad is vies en de bedden zijn doorgezakt en kraken enorm. De badkamer was wel erg netjes. De vele katten die naast het zwembad worden gevoerd vind ik ondanks dat ik zelf een kat heb niet prettig. Ook hoef ik de rotzooi van het restaurant of personeel wat er woont niet te zien. Je ziet personeel ook overal hangen als ze pauze hebben. Personeel van accommodatie en restaurant zijn wel super vriendelijk. Prijs-kwaliteit verhouding slecht.
