Leaving!

well located at the beach with nice sunset views, quiet place with not too much around but well reachable by horse or bike.

I think its most Quiet place to stay in the Island. Amazing service, tasty food. I enjoyed breakfast and evening BBQ. Staff so friendly and professional. Comfortable big villa, nice terrace to sit. Very clean, i didnt see any bugs or mosquitoes. Hotel has pool with ocean water, bicycles for rent, beautiful sunset. Beach in hotel has amazing sea life and perfect for snorkling. From September (till I don't remember when ) water goes a bit away from coast , and you need to wear special sea shoes to walk till deeper water. I would reccomend hotel to arrange kind of floating walk way pontoon for a period when waters goes away. So guests will not damage corals while walking and will be easy to enter & exit the ocean. I will recommend hotel for my friends.

This resort was beyond our expectations! it was so beautiful, very clean, and the staff were so friendly and helpful! The restaurant staff were all so great with our young kids :) The location was great for us, being on the far north end of the island and away from the hectic harbour area.

The beach was not the best for swimming as the tide was very low and sandbars were high so it was hard to swim, plus there was a lot of coral on the beach. That being said my kids still had the. eat time down there for hours every day playing in the sand and finding treasures while my husband and I enjoyed happy hour at the restaurant :)

The location is great and main perk - away from noisy bars, at the snorkelling beach. The villa had two AC working well. Environmental disaster to cool a villa with so many holes in the wood but it works and keeps you cool. The breakfast is tasty and served in front of the ocean. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves - just compared to other hotels we stayed this felt heavily overpriced.

The villa is cool - but it is a wooden villa so expect geckos inside and some mosquitos and bugs. They provide a small packet of antimosquito lotion. Some things like the curtains and mosquitier are disgustingly dirty. The manager who welcomed us had the dirtiest t-shirt I have seen in a while - I mean I know is GiliT and tropical location but some level of professionalism is expected, especially paying this price. The service at the hotel restaurant is lamentable but that's standard on GiliT the food is good.

We loved everything. We watched turtles pop their heads up for air as we had breakfast on the beach with our toes in the sand. The food was delicious. The staff even grilled a fresh fish catch for our dinner! They also facilitated a speedy bungalow visit by local doctors when our youngest suffered from heat stroke. Quiet location too. We hardly left the area! It was so relaxing.

Literally nothing. We would go back again in a heartbeat.

having now been to all 3 islands - this was the best place of ALL! o wish we had booked a full week there instead of just 4 nights. beautiful bungalow with all amenities. beautiful salt water pool. great food. clean nice beachfront and chairs. free snorkel gear. and the BEST friendliest staff.

only thing I would add is a little more light in the bungalows.

Location had direct access to the beach The best snorkling we did on the island was from our beach - a little effo rt is needed to get past the initial coral but the reward is worth it Property was very clean Breakfast was delicious - all meals we had had were delicious Staff were very friendly and helpful The Villa had alot of character

Lighting in the Villa was a little dim but added to the atmosphere

Such a beautiful resort, I absolutely loved the design of the room it had such a lovely feel and the bed was amazing. Lots of beautiful details in the room and such a great location, so quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was great and the staff were all really lovely and helpful. The location isn't the easiest to get to as you have to cycle or walk through the middle of the island if you're coming from the main strip, but worth it if you want peace and quiet and are happy for a bit of a longer journey in (about 15 mins, a bit tricky cycling back at night because it's so dark, but I always felt really safe and a few locals guided me one night, so helpful!). Cycle around to the sunset side as well (left from Desa Dunia) it is a really nice trip along the beach that way too.

Everything was great

Very well kept, clean, private, quiet, very helpful and friendly staff.

It was quiet and all the action is at the other end of the island. But it’s easy to get around the island with a bicycle and you can rent from the resort or they can call a horse carriage for you.
