Pera ONE Villas

Breakfast was good coffee not great . Staff were great and having bikes available for use was great but huge amounts of e-bikes made traffic hard to got around in places.

The place is getting a bit old and run down, the deck was rotted and unsafe in places and the 4 villas were all close to each other and could get a bit noisy. The other thing about this island is that no matter your location you will be subjected to the excessive noise from all the temples at all times of the day but the 5 am is a bit hard to handle.

Spacious villa surrounded by greenery and wildlife. Staff were amazing. So warm and welcoming, helpful and attentive. Located closer to the back side of Gili. Push bikes are provided with your stay which is a great touch and very handy

The villa is located very close to a local mosque, so there are regular calls to prayer throughout the day which may be noticeable for light sleepers.

Big pool, spacious villa with good sun loungers. Breakfast was delicious. Staff sorted both a snorkelling trip and e-scooter out for us and were very helpful.

The towels and bedding were in need of a refresh. Leaver on the toilet for the bidet was broken so we were unable to use.

The staff is young but very friendly and supportive. Easy communication and ordering via WhatsApp. The Food is delicious and very affordable and provides a wide variety. The rooms in the private villas are just awesome and cozy, gives you a feel of luxury. There is free drinking water available in the room. Bike rental is also included and recommended to use and please avoid taking the horse taxis. There are also some small, sweet cats around.

Very important to know is: - the very next building is a mosque where public singing/praying takes place 7 times a day (3x each) and they use a microphone with a powerful sound system blasting out to the whole island. The point is, they start with that at 04:50am and it is extremely loud so you cannot avoid or ignore it, you will get awake every. Single. Morning. Earplugs are fully useless due to the high volume. Sometimes at the day prayer/singing they just yell in the microphone making it hard for me believing it is a prayer. - I recommend using earplugs though, as they wake up the whole island including the chicken, which will start screaming. And there are a lot of chicken around. - as soon as the sun sets, the locals around start burning some material. Idk what they burn but it is not smelling like a cozy bonfire, it smells not nice. It will last all night long and is very present if you chill outside in the living room. So you also need to turn off the air Condition very early otherwise you have the smell in your bedroom the whole night. - there are multiple wifi but none of them works properly so make sure you bring a local (e) Sim with you, as only telkomsel ensures connection. - the location is in between the busy areas on the coasts, so the location around is not very nice and might cause all the points above. I total my stay was very nice and I would recommend staying here. But you really need to be aware of the points above. This accommodation at either east or west coast in the busy area would just be perfect. 1 point minus for the noise, 1 point minus for the smell.
