Pros:

Персонал супер. Внимание: в море заход только в коралловых тапочках или кроксах.
В порту при выходе разводят, чтобы довести. Яндекс карты не работают поэтому в первый раз не знаешь куда идти. Так до отеля минут 15 пешком. Если у вас большие чемоданы, то стоит взять транспорт, а с рюкзаками сможете сами дойти

Cons:

Очень много комаров. Фумигатор не срабатывает на них. Укрывались болдахином , который висит над кроватью , но через него как- то не дышится, мало воздуха.
Слышимость большая.
Уставшая мебель, дверь в туалет раздвигались с трудом и грохотом.
Кровать жёсткая.

Pros:

La proximité par rapport à la plage

Cons:

Chambre très poussièreuse, rien pour ranger les vêtements, 1 seul rouleau de papier WC, petit-déjeuner très limite.... Bref, bien pour des jeunes qui veulent voyager pour pas cher.

Pros:

Hast du denn? Liegt perfekt direkt in Strand Nähe. Am ersten morgen sind wir dort geschnorchelt und haben direkt eine Schildkröte gesehen.
Das Personal ist wirklich unfassbar lieb und hilfsbereit.
Das Frühstück ist super. Wir hatten immer Omlette und Pfannkuchen. Außerdem sitzt man beim frühstücken direkt und bequem am Strand.

Cons:

Die Wände sind wirklich sehr dünn, nur eine Rattanschicht als Wand und darauf ein bisschen Stroh. Vom Restaurant. Das Hotels kommt bis ungefähr 22 Uhr etwas Musik, man hört morgens den Hahn Krähen und einmal haben wir ziemlich früh die Moschee gehört, diese Wahl doch nicht besonders laut, sondern wir waren zufällig wach.
Unter dem Mückennetz wurde es sehr schnell warm, leider konnte man auch die klimaanlage nicht wirklich gut einstellen, so dass es entweder viel zu warm oder ziemlich kalt war.

Un buon soggiorno tranquillo
Pros:

Struttura molto carina, tranquilla e con una posizione perfetta per vedere le tartarughe.

Cons:

Un po lontani da tutto alla sera, c e da camminare dai 10 ai 30 min per arrivare nella zona dei ristoranti.
Staff gentile ma servizio migliorabile
I servizi del bagno pieni di calcare da migliorare
Mancanza di un piccolo frigo

Good place for a snorkeling-focused stay in Gili Air
Pros:

We stayed at Sandy Beach Bungalows for 5 days.
The location is just perfect, it's at the right spot for snorkeling by the best reefs and turtle points. You can just swim in (during high tide) and reach the reefs in a few minutes. You can watch beautiful sunrises right from the front of the place, and walk for sunsets for ~5 minutes. It's also far from the mosque and centre so it's as quiet as it can be on the island. They have a nice pool and garden, the staff is very friendly and they try to solve everything. The breakfast is decent - not exceptional, but good and enough.

Cons:

Since traditional bungalows, you should expect some critters entering your room (insects, potentially rodents), the positive thing is the mosquito net.
The cleanliness of the place wasn't entirely satisfying, but to be fair, it's hard because everyone walks in and out with sandy feet. But the staff is doing their best.

Fantastic stay would be perfect if it had a shelf for bags and some hooks on the wall to hang clothes
Pros:

Pool, breakfast, views and friendly staff

Cons:

The room had no where to put our clothes or bags. Also room very dark and we had to put on head torch to get on floor and find things in our bags

Birthday and wedding Anniversary
Pros:

Morning breakfast on the beach
And the all the staff were fantastic.
Always talking to us wanting to know if we need anything
So a big 10 for staff
See you all next year 🤘😎

Cons:

The electric scooters everywhere.
And some of them going very fast
But it was nice that it was sand out front of your hotel so they couldn't ride them there

Pros:

L'emplacement est chouette.
Le personnel est vraiment à l'attention pour nous.

Cons:

La salle de bain était sale, la cuvette des wc très sale . Et malgré avoir demandé à ce que cela soit nettoyé, cela est resté sale.
Sans oublier les cafards présents...
Dommage, c'est vraiment le gros point négatif.
