Gili Air Santay 3

The value for money was really incredible. Including amazing breakfast on the beach front 😍 Loved the hammock too 🥰

I couldn’t find the entrance easily as the sign only faces one way but we managed via WhatsApp and they kindly came to find me 😊

Hani is an exceptional host, she is very friendly together with her husband. The breakfast is delicious and always came with a super yummy fruit plate. Mama Hani makes you feel at home and it is the perfect place for relaxation and quality time. The bungalow is very clean and organized and my favourite spot is the terrace with the bamboo chairs and table as well as the hammock. The beach is only 2 minutes by foot and there are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. You can go snorkeling right there from the beach to see corals, fish and sometimes turtles floating around. Hani and her family invited us for dinner on one of the days and the indonesian food was very tasty. THe island is very walkable with a circumference of around 5 km, you can also rent an e-scooter or bicycle from Hani to explore every street on the island. There are no motobikes or cars on this island so that makes it noise andtraffic jam free

We went in February, which is the rainy season in Indonesia, so the water was not the clearest for snorkeling due to rain but going outside the main season is definitely worth the try because it has a different charm, very relaxing especially with the sound of the rain on the roof <3 PS: I still managed to see 3 turtles and many cute and colourful fishies ^^

The staff at Gili Santay 3 were lovely and helpful! The location was great right by the beach where you could snorkel on the reef right from shore. Breakfast was nice as well.

There is not much property signage or clarity in terms of check in process. There is no hand soap in the bathroom, so bring your own. There is an also a gap under the main door so bugs and ants do crawl in frequently, just to be aware. Breakfast is brought to the room after you sit outside and wait for the staff to come by and take your order.

Really nice property. Big and spacious rooms with a nice hammock outside! Close to the beach. Super kind and helpful staff.
