Villa Kinagu

It was a little way away from the beach but in such a quiet area. The staff were lovely and the villa we had was superb. A gorgeous plunge pool and comfortable bed. We had a kitchen and plenty of bottled water. Breakfast wast tasty and there are a couple of warungs nearby that exceptional inexpensive food. There are bikes available for riding around. I would definitely stay again.

Nothing

The value for money is exceptional. It is a small accommodation so uncrowded. We are a family of four so booked two bedrooms that looked directly over the main swimming pool. So few people meant we had the pool to ourselves. It was very quiet and relaxing we spent time between sitting outside our rooms and on the very comfortable pool loungers. We are a family of four and found the accommodation is centrally located so it's easy to walk to different locations on the island. The best Indonesian food on the island is nearby at Rina's (try the Rina special menu items) and at Zaya. The staff at Kinagu are happy to phone through takeaway/delivery orders to these restaurants which was wonderful when the children are tired. The staff were all so wonderfully accommodating and approachable. I highly recommend you keep some good amount of cash to tip generously at this accommodation as sometimes the ATM doesn't work and we cut it very fine to take back what we wanted to give the staff before the ferry arrived. The snorkelling at the nearest beach on the east side was very good.

We got used to the roosters but could pay to have some earplugs if you are not an early riser like us.

Set in the middle of Gilli Meno made it an ideal place to access the whole island. The staff were always there to help. A little oasis , great value for money. Breakfast offered a choice of Indonesian and Western and enough to suit all appetites. Shame our stay was so short!

The garden, the pool (even though we did not use it), the staff were friendly. The room was spacious. Good breakfast was included. The island is beautiful and unique (there is no one around, you have beautiful beaches all for yourself).

The room wasn't very clean. It looked clean overall but it wasn't really clean: there were stains in the curtains, walls and remaining old stains on the sheets. The place and decor don't have a lot of charm compared with other places on the island and in the region. The location was not great. The island is small and it's true that it takes you no time to get to the beach, but being in the center of the island was a drawback for us. There are many options by the beach with sea views. Also, the roads in the island are mostly made of dirt or sand and have no lighting, so I would have preferred staying around some clusters of hotels and restaurants to make things more comfortable. The island is anyway not crowded at all, so it's not like you need to escape from the masses or anything. I got many bites both nights that we slept there that seemed to be from bed bugs. When we asked for a room change to avoid another night being awaken from itchy bug bites, there was no option to change rooms and they did not want to give us back the money for the 3rd night which we were not going to stay. After negotiation, they gave us less than 50% of the nightly cost and we changed to another hotel. Based on the reviews we had seen, we thought we'd love it here for our honeymoon and were disappointed when we arrived in the room. It wasn't bad but it didn't have any charm. Similar to other places around, the only windows/glass doors were facing the main pool, so if you left the curtains open for natural lighting, people can see inside your room.
