Pros:

The Alam Karang team displays a level of generosity that will remain a highlight of your stay. The food, comfort, and accommodation were all perfect. I recommend this place for exploring the magnificent island of Gili Gede; it is an ideal spot for snorkeling, diving, and fishing enthusiasts. The view from the accommodations is sublime.

Una piacevole sosta a Gili Gede…
Pros:

Bellissima struttura con pochi bongalow costruiti con elementi naturali, bella spiaggia con comodi lettini ed ombrelloni , anche se il mare di fronte è poco balneabile per la marea (ma organizzano bella e divertente escursione alle isole vicine per snorkelling) Stanza confortevole e pulitissima, personale gentilissimo. Colazione buona però con scelte più ‘occidentali’ (noi avremmo preferito piatti con cibo locale per immergerci nella loro cultura… a soli 10 min a piedi si raggiunge il villaggio con tipici warung sulla spiaggia, per cene con deliziosi piatti di pesce fresco)

Cons:

Unica pecca alla sera dopo le 22 nella piccola stradina dietro la struttura transitano rumorose moto sino a tarda notte.

Lovely place for a quiet stay with genuine feel, welcoming staff and surreal surroundings.
Pros:

Fantastic place, felt like a dream come true. Very friendly and helpful staff, who made you feel truly welcome and at home. Amazing snorkeling-trip, but also lots to see just off the beach. 100 % would recommend!

Excelente local para relaxar e fazer snorkeling longe de multidões
Pros:

Vista maravilhosa sobre a praia a partir dos confortáveis bungalows. Simpatia do staff, que disponibilizou material para snorkeling (e até uns sapatos de praia , depois dos meus se estragarem) para que pudéssemos aproveitar os corais que se podiam visitar mesmo em frente ao alojamento. Bom restaurante, mas também com warungs próximos com bom peixe grelhado se não quiser fazer as refeições todas no alojamento. A praia em frente ao Alam Karang estava limpa (ao contrario de alguns reviews que tínhamos lido sobre poluição em Gili Gede) e era calma (sem vendedores de produtos ou serviços). Notou-se um grande cuidado do stafff em mantê-la assim. A atividade de snorkeling nas Gili próximas, organizada pelo Alam Karang teve um preço justo e acabou por ser uma experiência excelente (principalmente para a minha filha de 9 anos) quer pela beleza e diversidade do fundo marinho, quer pela simpatia e segurança providenciadas pela equipa que nos acompanhou.

Cons:

Do bife no restaurante...mas a culpa é minha...ninguém devia pedir bife de vaca numa Gili :)
Recomendo vivamente o alojamento!

Snorkeling de 1er choix toptoptop
Pros:

Tranquilité et personnel très accueillant

Cons:

Mer difficilement accessible à marée basse (après midi en cette saison), notre logement sans vue sur mer …. tout cela n’est pas bien grave pour un séjour de 3-4 jours 😌

Pros:

Si vous aimez le snorkeling c'est vraiment the place où vous poser. Super spot juste devant le bungalow+ les sorties en bateau qui sont incroyables aussi bien pour la beauté des coraux que pour la diversité de la faune sous-marine. Poisson lion, murènes, tortues... nous en avons eu plein les yeux. De plus les hébergements sur la plage sont confortables et très propres. La cuisine est excellente et surtout le personnel est très attentionné. Un remerciement particulier à Marie qui est un guide hors pair pour découvrir cet environnement merveilleux.

Gili Gede's Paradise
Pros:

Alam Karang is a small piece of paradise on beautiful island of Gili Gede. Gili Gede itself is great place to visit with nice beach and authentic village. In Alam Karang we could order massage, trip for snorkeling or food for lunch and dinner. Bungalows are beautiful, well arranged and clean. I loved bathroom in which we had wild flowers from garden looking through the window. There is also comfortable place at the restaurant where we could spend time together, drink Bintangs or mojitos. Staff in hotel were friendly and helpful, they arranged us transport from & to Lombok airport. The owner was very kind - she went with us on the snorkeling trip which was the best during our travel in Indonesia. WiFi working properly but only close to restaurant. We would love to be back in Alam Karang some day.

Cons:

I found nothing to complain about. We preffered food in the village as it was more authentic and less "western", but this is only our opinion (I can advise warung in the end of the village where food is quite spicy).
PS. there are pieces of reef on the beach in Gili Gede so it is worth to have swimming shoes.
