Úžasné místo na ostrově ❤️
Pros:

Nádherné ubytování v klidné části ostrova, skvěle snídaně , místo přímo u pointu želv, jen chybí lehátka s výhledem na moře. Fantastická italská kuchyně, i moje kamarádka žijící v Itálii si připadala jako doma😉. Hned vedle ubytování možnost půjčit skútr. Pokud hledáte relaxaci a klidné místo, tady jste správně.

Pros:

Alibaba Bungalows was recommended by a friend in New Zealand.
From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcome. The team was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Nothing was ever a problem, and their warm hospitality made our stay even more special. Our unit was perfect for our needs with the pool straight outside our room.

The meals at Alibaba restaurant were lovely, but one dish in particular was outstanding, the beef rendang .The flavours were beautifully layered and complemented each other perfectly. It was the best we had tasted on the island! Congratulations to the chef.

Breakfast by the beachfront, watching the sun come up, was simply magical. And with turtles swimming right in front of the restaurant, what more could you ask for?
Beyond our wonderful stay at Alibaba Bangalows, I found everyone we met on Gili Air to be so welcoming. We met some truly lovely people, some of whom I could easily imagine remaining lifelong friends.

You can hire bikes & snorkeling gear from the shop next to  Alibaba, which is run by a charming and humerous individual.

Thank you to the team at Alibaba Bungalows for making our holiday so memorable. We had such a relaxing and special time and would happily recommend this beautiful place to anyone visiting Gili Air.

We look forward to returning in 2027.

Aanrader voor een fijn en gezellig verblijf
Pros:

Zowel de standaard kamer als de bungalow waren erg fijn. Comfortabele bedden en heerlijke badkamer. Het personeel was echt onwijs aardig. Je word altijd begroet met een glimlach, kan alles vragen en we hebben hele leuke gesprekken gevoerd. Ook hebben we een heel gezellig gezamenlijk diner gehad, met de gevangen vis van mijn man bereid door de gasten van de accommodatie.
De accommodatie zelf ligt op een hele fijne plek. Je loopt zo het strand op en de schildpadden ziin gelijk waar te nemen. Leuke restaurants in de buurt en voor ons belangrijk, een gym.

Cons:

We vonden het personeel en de accommodatie echt top!! Het restaurant voor de deur was alleen wat minder, kleine en simpele ontbijt porties.

Pros:

Les bungalows sont propres, confortables, la piscine juste devant est très agréable.
Le climatisation fonctionne très bien.
Mais le grand plus de cet établissement c'est son personnel, d'une gentillesse incroyable.
Merci à tous 🙂‍↕️

Cons:

Il manque peut-être de quelques "indispensables" comme d'un sèche-cheveux ou de petites serviettes mais c'est un détail.

Pros:

Eine kleine, gepflegte Anlage mit sehr freundlichem und hilfsbereiten Personal. Das Frühstück war gut. Man müsste sich zwischen einem Kaffee und einem Juice entscheiden. Beides zusammen ging nur mit Zuzahlung. Das fand ich etwas knauserig.

Cons:

Wir hatten eine Deluxe Suite, klingt erstmal gut. Beim Betreten des Bungalows habe ich mich gefragt, wo hier Deluxe ist. Alte dunkle Möbel, der Wohnraum selbst Recht klein und beengt, aber ein Bad mit einer Größe, die niemand braucht. Also wir waren von der Unterkunft enttäuscht.

El personal super atento y amable,la ubicación perfecta para hacer snorkel,estaba limpio y el restaurante muy rico y variado.
El personal ha conseguido que nos enamoremos de Gili Air y ampliamos 1 noche mas

Cons:

Que haya poca hamaca en la piscina,habitación un poco anticuada,camas un poco duras,que no tenga presión el agua.
Pero lo compensa todo con el personal tan amable y simpático

Muy caro para lo que ofrece
Pros:

El personal era amable y está cerca del punto de las tortugas

Cons:

La habitación no cierra bien por lo que se cuelan mosquitos y el aire acondicionado no consigue enfriar la estancia. Muy caro para lo que ofrece.
