Disappointing - old and tired looking bungalows
Pros:

Pool looked nice although we didn’t use it. Location near the snorkelling beach was good however we were very disappointed with the room, the lack of cleanliness and maintenance. However the staff were gracious enough to allow us to cancel after one night (instead of a week)

Cons:

The light didn’t work, there was no kettle, and the bed was uncomfortable. Only a sheet and no doona. Very dark inside and it was also not very clean. For the money there are many better options in the area.

We would definitely return to Sandy Beach Gili Air for a return stay.
Pros:

The location was peaceful and beautifully maintained and perfect for seeing turtles, sea snakes and the beautiful coral reef. Freshly prepared meals were absolutely lovely,
The team were warm, welcoming and engaging and taught us a lot about the Lombok culture.

Parfait emplacement pour profiter de la beauté de cette île!
Pros:

Le personnel est super sympa et l’emplacement est idéal! C’est un endroit calme et le snorkling est exceptionnel depuis la plage de l’hôtel. 3-4 tortues par jour et à 100m au large, de beaux coraux et poissons! Super grill de poissons fraîchement pêchés le soir! Lever du soleil depuis la plage de l’hôtel et pour le coucher du soleil, c’est à 5min de marche!

Cons:

Il n’y avait que de l’eau froide dans la douche et la salle de bain aurait pu être mieux nettoyée mais ça allait très bien. Le reste fait oublier ces détails.

Bungalows mit gutem Restaurant direkt am Strand
Pros:

Schöne Bungalow-Anlage etwas abseits des großen Rummels. Die Bungalows sind schön geräumig, eine kleine Terrasse ist ideal um abends den Tag ausklinken zu lassen.
Das dazugehörige Restaurant bietet gutes Essen zu günstigen Preisen an, das schöne dabei ist dass man direkt am Strand sitzen kann. Ideal auch zum Schnorcheln, dend direkt vor dem Hotel gibt es Schildkröten die sich beim Grasen auch nicht aus der Ruhe bringen lassen.

Cons:

Leider gab es im Bungalow keinen Schrank oder Regal, um irgendetwas abzulegen, wir mußten also direkt aus dem Koffer leben. Desweiteren gab es weder im Zimmer noch im Bad einen einzigen Haken, um z.B. die Handtücher aufzuhängen.

Gute Lage
Pros:

Die Lage ist super. Auch die Möglichkeit sich nach dem Schnorcheln duschen zu können. Die Strand Bänke sind im Schatten von Bäumen, was es sehr angenehm macht. Sonnenaufgang ist herrlich und danach in aller Ruhe das Frühstück geniessen. Sonnenuntergang ist nicht weit zum Laufen. Badezimmer ist gross und das Bett sehr angenehm.

Cons:

Das Moskitonetz war schmutzig - richtig gruselig. Der Ersatz schien sauberer zu sein aber mit Löcher. Das Zimmer sonst war sauber.

Exzellentes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für Unterkunft direkt am Strand
Pros:

Die Unterkunft lag direkt am Strand. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück am Strand war sehr lecker und man konnte direkt vor der Haustür schnorcheln und Schildkröten sehen.
Der Pool war schön und unser Bungalow (Superior) war mit einer Klimaanlage, Kühlschrank sowie warmem Wasser ausgestattet.
Auf der ganzen Insel findet man tolle Restaurants und Anbieter für Schnorcheltouren.
Der Transfer (Pferdekutsche) zwischen Unterkunft und Hafen bei der Abreise wurde von den Mitarbeitern organisiert.
Preis-Leistung war super!

Cons:

Die Bungalows sind ziemlich hellhörig. Tagsüber hört man relativ laut die Musik von der Bar, diese wird jedoch abends (21:30 Uhr) abgestellt, so dass man gut schlafen kann.

Alles in einem war es in Ordnung. Sehr nettes Personal!
Pros:

Direkte Strandnähe und das besonders nette Personal.

Cons:

Es gab kein Warmwasser in der Dusche ( gut, selber Schuld, man hätte ja nachlesen können). Es ist super hellhörig. Man hört die Bungalownachbarn exakt alles sprechen und natürlich alles andere (Musik, Parties etc.)

Second time at Sandy Beach and would definitely recommend it!!
Pros:

The location was fantastic, turtles everywhere infront of the resort, close to restaurants but far enough away not to be noisy! Staff great, food good and great value for money!

Cons:

Upgraded to deluxe room as standard was too small and did not have a fridge or safety deposit box! Definitely worth spending the extra money!
