We spent a few days at Gili Eco Villas in July and overall had a very relaxing stay. The best part was definitely the quiet and peaceful location. The beach is absolutely beautiful, and we were lucky enough to see sea turtles right from the shore — an unforgettable highlight! The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkeling, and the breakfast every morning was delicious with a good selection and fresh ingredients.
There are a few things that could be improved, though. The check-in experience felt a bit unorganized — we would have appreciated more information upon arrival, like where to get the beach towels (which were at a separate reception). The hotel’s own bicycles were in poor condition; while we managed without lights, at the very least all the bells should work for safety. One evening, when we wanted to dine at the restaurant and all the tables were taken, the staff unfortunately didn’t offer to bring over a table from the beach area, which would have been an easy solution.
Despite these small issues, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Gili Eco Villas to anyone looking for a peaceful, nature-focused escape on Gili Trawangan.
