Scallywags Mango Retreat

Nice, quiet location. Beautiful rooms with private "courtyard" entrance. Pool is a refreshing temperature (probably due to shade from trees). Staff are amazing and kind - they all knew our names and would always say hi when we'd see them around the island. Breakfast is served at Scallywags Beach Bar (a few minutes bike ride from Mango Retreat) and was tasty.

Breakfast had decent vegan options (considering other places we've stayed generally just had fresh fruit) but would be nice to see a few more options available. The morning of our checkout, they did some mosquito fogging and we were not notified ahead of time. It would have been appreciated if they had given us the opportunity to leave prior to fogging. This was upsetting enough to sour my husband's entire experience but I'm hoping that in the future they will let all guests know in advance.

The staff was kind and attentive. The breakfast was also good. Restaurant was close to the beach that was good. And the welcoming process was also good thanks to the staff at the front desk and reception.

There were too many mosquitos around the restaurant. And the rooms were located a little bit inside in the village, not just near the beach.

+ Location. Just minutes walking to the Scallywags Beach Club. Even faster if you rent a bike. + Staff super friendly. I was very pleasantly surprised with a cake on my birthday! + Very clean and comfy rooms which make you feel like at home. + Amazing outdoor showers in Balinese style, surrounded by trees. + Probably the best breakfast I had anywhere in Indonesia. Banana pancakes are to die for. It was our second stay at Scallywags, and we liked it so much we returned for the third time. We'll probably come back again next time we visit these parts of Indonesia.

- The Wi-Fi was quite weak, often unusable, but I guess that's a problem on the whole island.

Good standard in the room and nice pool. Pretty outdoor shower. Belongs to the Scallywags hotels who have three or four places on the island and one on GIli T. As we were staying with them on Gili T they organized a private speed boat between the islands for a reasonable price. The breakfast buffet was good also, with Indonesian and International/English style options.

A bit away from the beach, but we knew that before. The fridge in the room was a bit noisy.
