Gili Teak Beach Front Resort

A great spot in Gili T. Out of the noisy areas but in Gili T everything is close. Food is good. Beach is nice and clean. Nice pool. Good breakfast served near the pool.

I spent 3 nights at Gili Teak and it was fantastic. The atmosphere is quiet, private and pleasant. The cottages are very comfortable. Plenty of seating inside and out on your deck. I loved the outdoor bathroom with Koi in the surround ponds. The free loaner bikes came in very handy. Lots of restaurants, an outdoor theater and beach clubs in the area. They have a beach restaurant. I only ate free breakfast there, which was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I am going back in 2 days.

We stayed here for four nights over Christmas. Location: it is very far from the pier if you have luggage, then suck it up and pay for a horse carriage. It is far away from the main strip of bars and restaurants, which made it nice and quiet but not too quiet as it did have a selection of bars around it. The hotel provide you with bicycles to use which was great, they were basic but functional, although I do think they need to have lights, especially as most of the island doesn't have any street lights, so cycling home can be tricky in the dark. Room: I loved the open bathroom with fish! The bed was comfortable, and it was a good-sized room, but it was very dark. You either had the curtains open, and everyone who walked past could see in, or you had them closed, and it was very dark. The seats on the decking area were great for chilling with a beer or some food from the bar. Restaurant: The breakfast was delicious, and we enjoyed having it on the beach on sunny days. We also sampled a lot of their main menu, and all of the food was super tasty. The big downside was that the flies were everywhere, which was a nightmare when eating. We noticed other restaurants on the island provided customers with bug spray and had other bug repellant measures, which was very welcome. The pool is a decent size but way too chlorinated. Do your best to keep your mouth shut and don't dunk your head under, as I imagine it would cause a lot of stinging with that chlorine. Overall a great stay, friendly staff with food views, but when we stayed there was a ton of construction work going on next door and it was very noisey and started early in the mornings.
