Guest Reviews
- Lee (10/5): Pondok Santi Estate - Excellent hotel with spacious rooms with a plunge pool. Food is extremely good. Staff are extremely friendly, polite and helpful. We had one small issue which the staff dealt with in an excellent way to our satisfaction. I recommend hiring the Princess Margaux hotel boat for Island Hopping - a fabulous trip and an amazing sunset.
- Grant (10/5): Unique - Due to a possible conflict of interest I’m not going to write a long review. But needless to stay we very much enjoyed our stay.
- Rikke Lykke (10/5): - An amazing atmosphere, great and tranquil surroundings, great staff who was always smiling and helpful - and snorkling with the turtles right of the beach a definite highlight of the trip. Best place to stay at Gili Travangan!
- Rana (10/5): Fantastic hotel the best on the Island!! - The staff were so lovely, really helpful and the facilities on site are also amazing! The food was really nice and the rooms are really modern, clean and tidy. Would highly recommend booking the villa if you are going to be staying here!
- JE YOUNG (10/5): - Best resort ever
- Ryan (10/5): 10/10 - We were absolutely stunned by how beautiful it was here. The service was great as well. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming.
- Kaitlynn (10/5): - This was an absolutely amazing stay. The grounds are immaculate, the villas are amazing. The staff is so kind, so welcoming, so helpful on all fronts. They offer so many amazing activities, such as scuba diving on the boat, which I can confidently say is the nicest boat on Gili T. I would absolutely come back here again and will be recommending it to all of my friends.
- Andrea (10/5): - Honestly one of the best beach holidays we've been on. The property is exactly as pictured, the staff were super friendly and helpful, and the food (especially the pizza!) was fantastic. We loved the private beach area where we spent a lot of our time. We won't be able to stay anywhere else when in Gili T, that's for sure :) Thanks for making our holiday so wonderful.
- Ipek (10/5): Everything is great!! - The best hotel in Gili Trawangan.. the restaurant is just on the beach and the service quality is perfect.. everything is great!
- Christine (10/5): - Very comfortable and friendly staff.
- David (10/5): - Outstanding staff, service, location. Top-notch. One of the great vacation trips for our family (two adults and two smallish children). We worried that Gili T would be too busy for our family, but it wasn't and I think a lot of that is down to how excellent this resort was., Truly amazing. Major gratitude to the staff who provided truly exemplary service for our whole stay.
- Anne (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and professional. Food was excellent. Property is in impeccable condition.
- Christian (10/5): Flott opplevelse på Pandok Santi - Dette var helt fantastisk!
- Daniella (10/5): Perfekt! - Kan inte tänka mig bättre service. Allt man behöver kan man ringa efter och personalen är snabba, vänliga och omtänksamma. Maten är jättegod, poolen fräsch och fin. Detsamma gäller för boendet (vi hade en villa med havsutsikt). Gratis cyklar som man kan låna för att cykla runt ön - rekommenderas! När vi skulle vidare ordnade hotellet så vi blev hämtade med båt direkt vid stranden. Har ingenting att klaga på. Perfekt!
- Richard (10/5): - Fantastiskt på alla sätt! Personalen är otrolig och servicen den bästa tänkbara. Bra mat på restaurangen. Det ända som var sämre var att det var fuktigt med lite dålig lukt i sovrummet på övervåningen.
- Alexandra (10/5): - We loved the Pondok Santi. Immaculate grounds, fabulous service and excellent food
- SOYEON (10/5): 길리숙소로 강추드립니다 - 너무너무너무 좋았어요. 인생 최고의 숙소 ㅠㅠ
- Jose (10/5): - The staff is exceptionally helpful and consistently ensures that we have an enjoyable experience at the hotel and island.
- Maja (10/5): Autenstisk luxus ophold - Vi har haft 8 dejlige nætter på Pondok Santi. Vi har nydt det skønne bungalow med det mest fantastsike udendørs badeværelse, stranden, polen og de lækreste dobbel sunbads. Ud over rengøring kommer personalet også om aften og gøre klar til en god nattesøvn ved at sætte mygnet omkring sengen og endnu engang gøre værelset nydelig og velduftende. Personalet har været super hjælpsomme, smillende og søde gennem hele opholdet. For ikke at glemme at, nævne deres helt fantastsieke morgenmenu hvor man dagen forinden frit kan sammensætte ens eget morgenmad samt frit vælge om man ønsker at indtage den på stranden, ved poolen eller i sin bungalow. Restauranten er den flotteste på hele øen og maden er i top, især deres gril menu og den bedste søde, røgede kartoffelmos, det skal prøves. Hotel stiller også gratis cykler til rådighed hvilket vi benyttede os af en del gange. Den park lignende have med de utrolig smukke hvide fliser, lader den kølige brise fra havet bræde sig ind over hele resortet som er med til at holde temperaturen begalig dagen igennem. Super mange tak til de sødeste og utrolig arbejdsomme personale
- Louise (10/5): - Perfect location and service amazing. Staff so friendly and accommodating. Our ocean view villa with pool was the best. We would definitely love to come back.
- Ryan (10/5): - No request too big. The villas are each completely stand-alone and very private with a walled garden area behind and individual decking area in the front. We had a villa with a private pool and this was kept well-maintained through our stay. The grounds are beautiful with shared activities happening throughout each day and plenty of spots to relax like hammocks and beds. The location is just far enough away from the main bar strip to be peaceful but close enough to cycle over when you want to party! You can eat breakfast right on the beach, which is a great way to start the day or you can have it by the pool which also has a swim up bar. The on site restaurant Ijo had a great menu and a wonderful vibe. Everyone on the staff was lovely and friendly and they went out of their way to help us from borrowing bikes to lifting luggage. Highly recommended are the hotel's excursions - they truly are once in a lifetime experiences. We took the private sunset boat tour with snorkeling and it was amazing! We'd visit again in a heartbeat. 5 stars!
- heidi (10/5): - Amazing place to relax on Gili T that’s still close to the centre of town. The bunglow rooms are lovely. Free bike hire. Breakfast is great. Staff are amazing and can’t do enough for you. Daily yoga is also a bonus with a great instructor. Would highly recommend a stay here if you have the opportunity.
- Mezhgan (10/5): - Firstly such a beautiful hotel!!!!! It’s 10 to 15 minutes away from the hustle and bustle. The hotel is so clean, they make you feel so welcomed!! The staff are all so lovely and helpful from reception to waitress to house keeper to bartender they are all so lovely!!!! Amazing customer service. The interior and attention to detail is so 10/10. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and would definitely recommend. You will not regret it. It truly makes you feel like you’re in paradise. Thank you so much for the amazing service from start to finish!!!
- Michelangelo (10/5): - Semplicemente l’unico e solo posto dove stare a Gili Trawangan. Perfetto
- Janine (10/5): - Es war ein wunderschönes Hotel, mit sehr freundlichem Personal und leckerem Essen. Wir haben unsere Zeit sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder!
- Junko (10/5): - ホテルの敷地は広く綺麗に整備されていてとても気持ちがいいです。レストランもon the beachで雰囲気が良く、朝食はセットメニューですが種類豊富でボリュームたっぷり。お部屋は年代を感じさせる作りで、多少歪みや隙間があり自然を感じる野生の生き物が時々現れます。スタッフはみんなフレンドリーでとても丁寧です。
- Ashley (10/5): - Lovely property, extremely attentive and friendly staff, healthy food options and great location. Complimentary bikes to use daily. All of the staff remembered our names and helped us throughout our trip. Highly recommend doing the sunset cruise on their private catamaran. My husband and I felt like royalty. Wish we could have stayed longer!
- Marc Laurent (10/5): Gili Trawangan - Ahryar nous a superbement accompagnés avec bienveillance pendant tout le séjour. Service et gentillesse ! Hôtel splendide, restaurant sur la plage très agréable, piscine magnifique. Par contre le wifi n’est pas bon (impossible d’envoyer un mail) et la chambre vue océan n’est à proprement parler sur l’océan. On le voit de loin et indirectement. Végétation devant la plage. Par contre la chambre est fantastique et le jardin privatif magnifique. Sûrement un des plus beaux hôtels au monde.
- CRAIG (10/5): great hotel - fantastic stay in room 23 i want this room again next time can you put in my profile?
- Sarah (10/5): - Two night stay turned into a 5 night stay. The property is quite expansive, giving each villa lots of privacy and a much calmer environment. The pool and swim up bar were used quite frequently throughout our stay. Bartendes made the best fresh drinks and service was impecible. The hotel main beach is also a gem. Clear white sand, clean blue waters. We even snorkeled with turtles right out front. The hotel offers free masks and fins for snorekling, as well as free bike rentals. I would definitely recommend and return again.
- ross (8/5): - A nice one night stay while touring Lombok and the Gili islands. Dining options are a bit pricey.
- Amy (10/5): - Cannot find a single fault with Pondok Santi. It was totally fabulous. We were greeted by friendly staff, the room was spacious and modern, and the grounds were a perfect peaceful getaway on Gili T. We wish we could've stayed longer!
- Dominic (8/5): - Liked how it was far enough away from the main strip to be quiet but close enough to walk to. Nice pool. Felt very safe. The staff knew who was coming and going and were welcoming when they saw you.
- Danielle (10/5): - This place was magical. Everything about it was perfect. The gorunds, the service, the room, it was all perfeti
- Danny (10/5): - Beautiful setting. 5* service. Would definitely recommend...
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful, quiet, excellent staff, wonderful beachfront location, wonderful grounds, free bike and kayak rental - just wonderful. Full 100%
- david (8/5): Great hotel - Great hotel. Booked through hotels.com which was a mistake as they did not honour their terms. Terms of my booking were pay at hotel on departure but my account was immediately debited the full amount. Hotels.com refused to address the issue. My advice would be to book directly with pondok santi
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Beautiful setting and location. Removed enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Beautiful private pool villa and well kept grounds. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The only area for improvement is the quality of the food and in particular breakfast. It was 5 star accommodation but with 3 star breakfast.
- Richard (10/5): Stay there if you can - Amazing hotel and amazing people.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The best place to stay on Gili T, quiet but not far from the action if you want.
- Rebecca (10/5): Excellent Stay - The most beautiful resort!! Away from all the hustle and bustle, amazing staff... probably the best part of our trip! We will most definitely be returning
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had an amazing experience staying at Pondok Santi Estate! First of all, the lodging accommodations were so beautiful, clean and modern -- and felt like the most chic island living experience!! And they allowed us to use their bikes to go around the island, so it was very convenient. Second, the beach in front of the resort is the nicest beach on the island of Gili T! Best waters and atmosphere. Lastly, the staff and manager were the nicest and most helpful ever -- they worked with us on any of our requests and helped us book the best snorkeling adventure on their private boat and tour -- I would highly recommend booking the snorkeling through them, since their boat was the nicest out of all other public ones. Highly recommend staying here!!
- Verified traveler (4/5): - This was my second time visiting Gili T and last time i stayed at the Pearl, I wish I had rebooked the Pearl this time. This trip was a special one and when reading the reviews this property seemed to be the best on the island, however the reality of the property doesn't seem to live up to its reviews. The bungalow's are lovely, with aircon, clean and fresh linen, tv with English channels, what let's this property down is the quality of the food and also the staff. From a hotel touting itself as Luxury, i would have expected the food to be far superior, the food was bland & at times inedible. We dined at the hotel on our first night & never again. The pasta Aribata was penne pasta with a tin of tomatoes on top with some Parmesan shavings.. Hot Chips.. were disgusting, they had clearly been placed in the fryer before it was warm enough and had soaked up all the oil (which also needed changed) the next morning our breakfast wasn't any better, for the remaining 3 days we went to the Pearl of Trawang a short walk down the road where the food was delicious. This hotel, it is seriously over priced for the experience you get, the staff didn't really care that we were there or not, on the occasion that they did speak to us it seemed very disingenuous.On our first night there, we settled down for the night only to be bombarded with Trance music coming from the hotel beach/reception, we were never informed of this and it went onto 4am even though we were told it finished at 12
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful gardens and pool, lovely staff, convenient location
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything was great! It is best place to stay on Gili Trawangan. Beautiful grounds, beautiful rooms, beautiful and warm swimming pool with a swim up bar, gracious and welcoming staff. Everyone works very hard to be sure you are having a great time. Excellent service! Fabulous Snorkeling is only a short bike ride away downtown, where you can can go in straight from the beach.
- Patrick (10/5): 5 Stars - Amazing beach resort with top notch accommodations and service, will come back in the future!
- David (10/5): Fabulous Find - My wife and I and our three children (ages 16-22) had a fabulous stay at the Pondok Santi the week between Christmas and New Year. The Pondok Santi is easily the nicest hotel on the island. The rooms are luxurious, the grounds beautiful and the staff is attentive, friendly and very helpful. The Pondok Santi restaurant overlooks the gorgeous pool and serves up a delicious breakfast (included) each morning. We also had a good dinner one night as well. The location is good as it is walking distance to the rocking town scene, as well as the sunset beach scene. The island of Gili Trawangan is small and one can easily circle the island in an hour on bike. Bikes, snorkel equipment and paddle boards are complimentary. Overall we were extremely pleased with the Pondok Santi and hope to return. We highly recommend!!
- Li (10/5): - Located at the quiet side of Gili T, helpful staff with great service. Villa with pool is nicely done. Could work on cleanliness, left the trash collected in the living room during our stay. Mediocre breakfast.
- Craig (10/5): - Wonderful spot, the grounds are spacious and well manicured. You are close to the islands central location without having to be right in the action all the time. Our room had a view of the ocean and overlooked the grounds. We felt as if we had our own private cabin on the island, rather than staying at a hotel. The staff dutifully accommodated all our requests and took great care of us. No other spot I’d rather stay on Gili T.
- Christie (10/5): - Beautiful surrounds and great facilities. Couldn’t fault it!
- Everton (10/5): - Spent 4 nights at Pondok Santi during our honeymoon and they were amazing. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. The staff are amazing and special thank you to Khairul and Eko who made our stay even more special. The restaurant options were very good and we enjoyed every meal. Both my wife and I loved the grounds, the pool, the beach and the fact that the resort lets you use snorkeling equipment and bicycles with no additional charge. I would definitely recommend this resort to my family and friends and we will definitively stay there again when we visit Gili in the future.
- Carsten M (10/5): Heaven on Earth - Magic. Best place on Gili Trawangan. Best bungalow # 11 -> the Deluxe Private Pool Bungalow. The new manager Komari and his team are magicians: they sense and fulfill your desires, before you realise them yourself.
- Tim&Ginny (10/5): - Great setting in a great location. Pool villas were well appointed, staff was very attentive,
- ben & jen (4/5): Gili t not our kind of paradise - Older rooms far too hot, air con insuffcient. Hotel undergoing construction work also. Noisy location not far enough away from Gili t strip for our liking.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely hotel & beach - Lovely hotel on beautiful beach with great staff & food. Just outside of the busy strip so convenient but quiet
- Aleksandr (10/5): Will definitely be back! An incredible stay - A perfect stay in every way. From the check-in, meet and greet, through to the front-of-house, pool bar and restaurant. Pondok Santi is not just a great experience Gili standards, it sets a benchmark for any hotel, anywhere. Part of what made our stay so enjoyable (aside from the dining, bar and pool area) was the people. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and attentive, to the point of remembering our names. A special shout out goes to Musa and Tin Tin for the impeccable and personalised service experience. Its rare to get such incredible front of house experiences these days, and Musa and Tin Tin delivered every time!
- Veronica (8/5): - Everything was perfect... from the welcoming staff to the hotel's beautifully manicured grounds... The only imperfection: they limit the breakfast order option to 1 item per guest & it wasnt exactly sufficient. They served 1 medium sized slice of toast w avacado + a small fruit platter on the side and i find it quite a small portion for even a petite person like me, let alone my spouse who's 1.9m tall. When we tried to ask for 2 slices of toast we were told - they needed to charge for extras. Clearly a hotel with such rates in a place like gili can do better on their breakfast offerings!! Other than that the rest of the trip was pretty faultless.
- Tobias (10/5): - Awesome stay! Really nice hotel
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing property, beautiful villas, great food, attentive staff. We had a wonderful time!
- SK (10/5): Nice and luxury Resort - I stayed at the room with private pool, the room was clean and nice. All staff was kind and the hotel provides many things for free. But never use there private Charter service if you are planning to go to other island.
- Emma (10/5): Perfect! - 3 night stay. Such a lovely resort. Beautiful grounds. Swimming pool and bar area were great! Food was really good! Felt so relaxed! Loved our stay and would definitely come back!
- Robert (8/5): Almost Paradise - From what I could tell, Pondok Santi Estate is the best resort on the island. If you wanted to, you could never leave the grounds, and have a wonderful vacation. The food is excellent, including the free daily breakfast. My only complaints are that the wifi is weak in the cabins and the hot water, though advertised, is nonexistent.
- Anita (10/5): Easy to enjoy! - We were delighted to find that Pondok Santi is just as beautiful as the pictures! We are Americans living in Indonesia, and have always heard of Gili Trawangan as a party island, but beautiful. The great thing about Pondok Santi is that if you want to be a part of the party, it's a short walk, but if you don't, the grounds are peaceful and quiet. It is probably the largest resort, land-wise, but only has 10 units, with open space around them. The villas are all set back from the street, with a beautiful lawn in between. You can see the ocean from all of them. We stayed in a one bedroom villa with a private pool, which was spectacular. The service was excellent. The staff was attentive, but not overwhelming. I must also mention the Princess Margaux, the beautiful boat owned by the resort. It is available at a very reasonable price for snorkeling and island hopping trips only for Pondok Santi guests. I get seasick easily, but this boat rides smooth and easy, and I had no problems, even though I forgot my Dramamine. One of the reasons we went was that I needed to do some writing on a research project and needed a place to work, but also wanted to do some regular vacation things. The internet was good, which was important to us. This was a perfect spot, as it was easy to get everywhere (walking, bike, or horse and cart), so we managed to stay active as well as accomplish some work.
- katrina (10/5): Fantastic place to stay - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The grounds are beautiful. The hotel is located at a nice section of the beach, close enough to restaurants, shops and nightlife but also in a quiet area. The staff were amazingly friendly. Definitely stay here!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel in great location - Fantastic hotel in great location. Very close to nice beach. Amazing food in the hotel restaurant.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Absolutely stunning hotel - beautiful and peaceful grounds and amazing private pool villa. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.
- Liena (10/5): Tranquility at it's best - Me and my husband stayed at the private pool villa for our honeymoon and it couldn't get any better. The room is spacious with fantastic decor. I personally love the nook by the window. They only have 10 villas, and most of the estate is greenery, perfect for a getaway from the city. The place is quiet, with private beach just the opposite of the estate. I like that you can request to have your breakfast by the beach, it's awesome.
- Alex (10/5): Slice of paradise - Great place to unwind, relax.
- David (10/5): Couldn't fault Pondok Santi - Great location just out of the busy hustle and bustle of the town centre. Amazing outdoor bathrooms. Staff were so friendly and helpful. An added bonus is that you can hire the bike and snorkel gear from the hotel. Food was delicious every single time! Would highly recommend Ponkok Santi. Only criticism is that the bed and pillows were a tad uncomfortable, but that's being really picky!!
- HL (10/5): Beautiful place to stay for couples - Excellent and lovely staff who provided service with a smile - nothing is too much trouble. Very beautiful and spacious grounds. Low density, serene and boutique experience. However, do not expect full toilettries e.g. cotton buds, shaver, etc. as it tries to be as eco as possible. Traditional structure type of accommodation, clean and blends with nature. Love the outdoor garden rain shower.
- Harry (8/5): Great romantic stay. - When we checked in,there was noise due to construction of a new villa nearby our pool villa. On top of it,I saw a worker doing some repairs next door right where the fence was overlooking our pool. After we feedback to the lovely manager, Hannah, she made sure we were compensated for the inconvenience by upgrading our boat cruise the next day and I also noticed the workers did not start work the next morning till We had left our villa. There were little touches to make sure our anniversary was special. Some areas for improvement would be to include toothbrushes, bedroom slippers and perhaps slightly bigger portions for breakfast considering the price we paid for the resort. Also the the walls near the outdoor shower area sold be higher or more adequately covered by tall plants for better privacy. But their excellent service recovery more than made up for it.
- Emma (10/5): Pondok Santi is a Paradise! - Our entire visit at Pondok Santi was heaven! The little touches is what makes this place so special... the picturesque surroundings, and the super friendly and attentive staff were just the beginning... the amazing Lombok coffee at breakfast, complimentary Coconuts and snacks by the pool, the stunning private beach with hammocks, day beds and paddle boards all for our use... I could go on and on! I loved this place, and can't wait to go back soon!
- Maja (10/5): Beautiful area close to the beach. - From the beginning everything was perfect. We were welcomed with a a big smile and cold juices. The hotel manager described the property and also all the atractions of the Gili. Breakfast ala Carte was served every day. This place is perfect. Couldn't imagine better place to stay in Gili. Highly recommended.
- D (10/5): If you can get in book it! - What a peaceful and great place to stay, it is located on the southern edge of the island but not to far from the main strip. Also close to Paradise Sunset bar, head there around 6pm for a great sunset! Note there is not really a restaurant at Pondok but it shouldn't matter as the strip is not far.
- David (10/5): Best place in the island - I think it was the best hotel you could get in Gili T. Quite and the most luxury you can get from the island.. totally recommended! AAA+!
- norman (8/5): Beautiful, great staff, not ultra comfortable - beautiful place on the edge of town- just close enough to walk/bike but very quiet compared to the main drag. room was very nice but not super comfortable. no couch/comfy place to sit inside. no screens so multiple mosquitos in the room (bed netting helped). really cool outside bathroom, but it kind of lost its appeal having to go outside to use the restroom in the middle of the night. Bed looked beautiful but was quite hard. Beautiful and wonderful private beach with excellent b fast and GREAT staff and service. would stay there again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): So amazing we extended our stay - Literally cannot explain how great this hotel was. We were on our honeymoon and only planned a brief stop-over at the Gili Islands but we were instantly captured by the beautiful island, and specifically this hotel. It is an oasis of beuatfiul, calm grounds, comfortable rooms, beautiful private beach and amazing staff. Truly unique on the island - we cannot wait for the new private villas to be completed so we can come again!
- Teresa (10/5): - We loved our stay at Pondok Santi. It truly is an oasis of calm on an island that can get a little hectic with so many backpackers. It's situated in a convenient location on the southern area of the island, between the lively strip of bars, restaurants, and shops on the east side and the sunset bars on the west. Bicycles are available to rent and with only six bungalows on the property, it feels like you more or less have the pool and the private beach to yourself. The bungalows themselves are clean and beautiful. Of note, they aren't *super* private as they are somewhat close together. The staff is incredibly nice and so helpful - they checked up on us and were very attentive to our needs. Breakfast was amazing - delicious scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, fresh juices, yogurt and granola, hot coffee and tea, and they'll serve it anywhere you want on the property - on your front porch, in a cabana on the beach, in front of the pool, etc. The only blip in our stay was that here was a lot of construction during the day, as they are currently expanding the property to build a few more bungalows - if you plan to be out and about exploring the island all day, it's not a problem, but my partner is really noise sensitive so this did interfere a bit with our stay when we were trying to sleep in or relax during the day.
- well travelled (10/5): Great villas - beautiful spot to stay at - We stayed here for four days whilst visiting Gilli Trawangan. We could not of picked a better place to stay on GT!.... GOOD stuff first: From the moment we turned up we felt immediatly relaxed and welcomed! The large grounds totally sets this accomodation aside from the rest! The pool (recently built) is absolutely beautiful, the layout & the water is just amazing - the coral (which is around the whole island is washed up on the beaches - this may bother someone more fussy!) was a little rough under foot but still just a wonderfully peaceful spot to swim in or lie around and read. The villas were amazing, i loved the simple, timber open feel to them. With draping mosquito nets.. Very authentic. We lapped up sitting out on our own little deck sipping on the coconut water and complimentary Indonesian snacks in the afternoon! However the outside shower was the delight for me.... Underneath the frangipani tress - how special! BAD stuff. There was a little bit of building work going on, which doesnt concern me but may do others- for new villas etc. The breakfast was reasonable not much choice would be good to add some indonsian style food (or just a good old BLT always goes down well). The tea was weak but the coffee was good and strong. We went out for breaky the other 3 mornings - Pearl down the road was great! The only other critisism would be that it is great for couples but not much of a 'fun' place to stay to meet and greet other travellers/couples etc as it is quite excl
- Nicholas (10/5): If you can afford it, definitely worth the stay! - The Bungalow opens up to the outdoor bathroom was amazing and almost felt wasted, its such a nice area you’ll want to spend time out there. When you are in the shower you will be mesmerized by the open sky and the massive coconut trees that dominate the open grounds of the estate. The rooms are exceptionally clean, if you are concerned with dirt you wont have a problem here. Staff were amazing and are a credit to the resort. The best part about only having six rooms on the estate meant that the staff actually get to know you and you couldn’t walk past anybody without a big smile and a hello. The local manager (I cant remember his name) was exceptional, had great English. AS the reviews say, breakfast really is amazing. I’ll be honest, after all I heard I thought it was a buffet and I was really looking forward to gorging like a hungry bear before winter. Its not a buffet but you wont be left hungry and as its cooked for you its much fresher and a much better option. I can easy say this is close to the best breakfast I’ve had, it’s a 3 course meal with juice coffee and tea, the best part is you can have breakfast anywhere you like. Try and eat on the beach if you can it’s a real treat. The resort and grounds make you feel so relaxed with all the space and manicured gardens. The bungalows are Beautiful and the wood adds to the relaxation of the place
- Mary W (10/5): Peaceful Paradise - The best little hotel on Gili T. 6 stunning villas set out on acres of stunning minicured lawns and gardens. From the moment we arrived we felt completely relaxed and de-stressed. Beautful beachfront location with privacy assured. All of the staff went over and above to ensure we were well looked after. The location of the resort is far enough away from the 'party scene' but close enough to walk to some great restaurants. In fact the only time we left the resort was to eat lunch or dinner. I hope Pondok Santi retains this 'boutifque' feel and not get too commercial and resorty. It is a very special place and we will definately be back!
- Brooke (10/5): - Facilities: Top of the line, Home away from home, Outstanding; Value: Fantastic, Amazing; Service: Flawless, Go the extra mile, Outstanding; Cleanliness: Gleaming, Immaculate, Beautiful; Take the sunset cruise - the boat is exceptional and its just beautiful!
- Sam (10/5): - Value: Great deal; Service: Respectful, Courteous; Georgie and Baz were great however some of the local grounds staff struggled with basic English and we therefore had to repeat ourselves a lot.
- Jacob (8/5): - Facilities: Everyday; Value: Affordable; Service: Flawless, Remarkable, Outstanding; Cleanliness: Pleasant, Lovely;
