Too remote, but right on the beach
Pros:

The complex has about 14 bungalows. Located right on the beach where you can snorkel from the shore (this is why I booked here). The bungalows are nice inside but very dark. There is a small fridge. Hired a new e-Scooter from the hotel.

Cons:

The location is too far away from everything else on the island. The gardens are not well maintained (dry and sparce) compared to other nearby properties. Snorkeling is available from the shore all along the east coast. Breakfast was very basic. The bungalows have very thin walls so I could hear the child in the next bungalow much of the time. Not much hot water.

A highlight of my trip. Simple. Very pleasant co-guests.
Pros:

I loved the pool. The staff were incredibly welcoming. And to swim with turtles directly in front of my bungalow before breakfast was something I will never forget. The breakfast was the best I experienced on Gili Air - in terms of food and experience.

Cons:

Upon checkin I discovered I had booked a bungalow without hot water or a fridge. No hot water was fine… it was hot weather. I needed the fridge for some medication… the staff put it in the bar fridge for me. Next time I will make sure to book a bungalow with both.

Ottima soluzione a Gili Air
Pros:

Posizione bellissima davanti al miglior mare. Staff simpatico 3 e gentile.

Cons:

I cottage necessitano di un armadio almeno, non c'é un appiglio per un vestito. E sono poco insonorizzati.
