This little remote, hideaway boutique style hotel is almost amazing - it already is in so many ways - views stunning, watching the sunset by the pool, on the beach! The villas could do with a little upkeep- but definitely not a negative, the doors don’t fully shut and while the outdoor shower is a nice touch it also lets the mossies into the villa (and our shower didn’t work) - mosquito nets would be a great idea as we got eaten alive even with repellent - the pool is too good to miss and the beach area is kept clean and accessible. Lovely sun beds and views, bar area serving food all day. Food is limited to a small but reasonable menu - nuts or crisps would be good to add to day time offering as no snacks otherwise. There are a couple of lovely beach warungs next to the hotel which seemed to be busy during the day and evening but we didn’t get a chance to try them. It is really remote but right on the beach with easy access to the secret gili’s and your own boat and captain to hire to take you out to explore and snorkel -kayaks are freely available to guests. We were only there for 2 days and spent a day in hospital but overall I recommend it - you do need to book the seafood bbq a day in advance! The road is a rough track as many reviews say but not big deal - I drove up and down it several times with no issues. Staff super lovely and willing to help us always and nice local restaurants along the shore as you turn right out of the track and head along the coast
