Coral Beach Seaside

Everything! Snorkeling with a big turtle for an hour right from the hotel! The pool was lovely! The staff was attentive and friendly! I loved it!

Nothing! For me, I like authenticity, perhaps not luxury, so this was an amazing value!

The location was excellent and we were the only ones from the hotel to use the pool so we always had it to ourselves, the breakfast is on the restaurant who’s on the sea so the view is great

Not hot water for the shower

Friendly and helpful staff - they rented us an electric motorbike for a good price to travel around the island; they also made a beautiful decoration in our room for my husband’s birthday. Location is a bit far from the central area but we knew before booking - it’s a good spot to snorkel with turtles in the morning. For breakfast scrambled egg is the best filling option, everything else is quite small portion. Overall the hotel area was beautiful, we slept in a small house which was very cute and we could rally feel the seaside vibes :)

The pool could do with some cleaning, we didn’t go as the water looked weird. Also some improvement with breakfast (bigger portion for jaffles for example..) :)

We liked the island....to understand the answer to this question, first you need to decide "why are you visiting Gili ?"....when it comes to booking a hotel / room / hostel in Gili, what you need to realise is that there are 3 categories; 1) Back packing travellers in their mid 20s....these people will pick either hostels or cheap rooms. 2) Back packing travellers 30+....these people will pick hotels or individual bungalows 3) Your standard holiday tourist....these people will be picking hotels or individual bungalows Now, Gili is one of those places in the world that is quite unique. There is a certain level of acceptance and chilled vibe running through the air. All of the accommodation options, with the exception of the posh hotels, will have one thing in common....they are all subject to power cuts which also impacts the availability of water. Hot water is classified as a luxury and is only typically available in the nicer more expensive hotels. Accept this and then pretty much all of the accommodation is much the muchness....obviously hostels are a level on all their own and if you have ever stayed in one, you will know what I mean.

the breakfast option....we skipped this and got something elsewhere
