Villa Samalas Resort and Restaurant

Hadde et fantastisk opphold på dette hotellet. Det er en skjult perle, med fantastiske ansatte som hjelper en med hva enn det måtte være. Har den beste plasseriingen på øya, litt unna alle store resorter, men 1 minutt unna stranda og utsikt utover havet så langt øyet kan se. Vi leide både sykler og fikk arrangert en nydelig snorkeltur og så flere skilpadder. Det er en super koselig liten resturant (warung) rett ved stranda, så du har alt du trenger i minutters avstand fra hverandre. Hvis du ønsker ro og stillhet og total avslappning, så reiser du hit!

Unbelievable position on gili meno. Little to no wind when windy elsewhere, the right amount of sand to coral compared to rest of island and the most unreal turtle sightings right here ! The chalets thought of everything! Even the small things - Bottle opener, beach towel, laundry rack, outdoor foot tap .really friendly and helpful staff

Nothing . We will definitely be back

We loved our stay here! The staff are incredibly hospitable, the included breakfast is delicious and has good options, the orange juice is *just what you need* on a hot day, the beach is just around the corner and the resort had beach chairs you can use here, the turtle beach is a few minutes walk away, lots of nice food and drink places nearby. We walked from the port cause it wasn't that far, but we took a horsey back. The shower was salt water for the first few days, but we were pre warned, and fresh water arrived after a couple of days, which they kept us updated on.

The sliding door to the room was quite difficult to open.

Property was located on a quiet street in Gili Meno, just a short walk away from the beach. The staff were amazing, they assisted in taken cushions for the day beds to the beach for us. They were super helpful and friendly and organised a private snorkelling trip for us. Cooked us amazing scrambled eggs breakfast! Can’t commend the staff enough. The room was spacious with a spacious bathroom. We had a lovely stay at Villa Samalas.

Staff are so friendly and helpful and were able to accomodate all our requests. Rooms were spacious, clean, comfortable. Beautiful beach right next door.

Not a property issue but the island had no fresh water when we stayed, so getting a hot shower was hard. This is normally not an issue I believe.

Great location. Fabulous friendly staff. Good breakfast. Private loungers on the beach under a tree.

A bit tired - our sheet was very worn and had a hole in it, and we got some bites in bed. Our room wasn’t cleaned during our 3 night stay but when I mentioned it before checking out, staff told me cleaning is upon request; they hadn’t told us that on check in.

Wonderful private rooms, each with their own secluded garden for complete privacy. The real highlight of our stay were the staff - they were always present with a smile and keen to chat about your plans for the day and provide recommendations as needed. We will definitely stay again should we come back to Gili Meno. Thanks to Ali, Opin and Iwan. The breakfast was simple but delicious and more than enough. The rooms were very clean, comfortable bed and great shower and very quiet throughout the night. One of our best stays while in Indonesia.

Nothing.

We loved staying at Samala! The villas were spacious and well thought out. The included breakfast was very generous and tasty. The staff were helpful and there was good cleaning service. We ended up extending our stay because we enjoyed Gili Meno so much. Our only complaint is the water situation. While we were there there was no fresh water from the taps. They informed us that it was an island wide problem at the beginning of our stay so we were informed and okay with it. However, this also meant that there was no hot water, and throughout our stay the water went out completely multiple times. The staff were always quick to respond to this issue but it became troublesome as the trip went on. We understand that the water shortage is a resource problem not a hotel problem but it became bothersome. Additionally, we were not satisfied with the drinking water situation. We were given two complimentary 500 ml drinking water bottles for the both of us at the beginning of our four night stay and no more the rest of the time and there was no water refill station. We understand that not every hotel has this but the problem arose in that they were selling water on the property for a large mark up compared to the rest of the island (10k at corner stores for large bottles and they were selling it for 17k). We found this strange that they were not only not providing drinking water to guests but were also selling it to us at a much higher price.

Ali, Ewan and Miss were amazing. Extremely helpful and friendly. the location is great and we had a wonderful time.
