Alam Gili Trawangan by Mahaputra

Awesome location right on the beach. We snorkeled directly out front almost everyday. The resort is in need of a facelift but the price suits (we paid $37AUD a night including a simple but tasty breakfast served right on the beach). Pool was out for maintenance but didn’t matter as we went down to Unggul Hotel - their pool was really good and 2 cocktails for $10 all arvo and we stayed for dinner - the pasta was excellent. Book the sea view room it makes the stay. Friendly staff who always looked after your needs. Bed was comfortable, toilet was old but flushed and plenty of hot water. A/C struggled with the afternoon heat but was ok at night. Horses came to swim one day right in front.

It’s getting old and needs work but the price reflects this so go with it or buy something better.

The property is not 5 star, it has everything you need in a beautiful location. The pool was in the shade all day, meaning it was cool and relaxing.

I like the beautiful gardens ,beachfront ,traditional and small

One of the best locations on Gili T and reasonable value for money...depending on what you want.

We are normally pretty easy going and have stayed in all sorts of places over the years. We like basic local accommodation with local characters and it doesn't matter if it's a bit rough, provided the facilities are clean, clean bedding, air-con and basic facilities. The price was cheap and we weren't expecting too much so don't want to be a whinger but want to let people know. This property has huge potential but is in desperate need of some TLC. We felt sorry for the friendly staff as the owners clearly have no intention of spending any money of the buildings or facilities. It is simply run down...things like an old plastic shower screen used as a curtain, very dusty mosquito net that felt claustrophobic, bedding that was just not up to scratch. We booked 4 nights and lasted one night before heading off elsewhere on the island. The photos online are not very accurate. There was an award displayed in the office from Trip Advisor I think it was dated 2014ish. Would probably suit a group of backpackers looking for a cheap quiet location near the beach...
