The Trawangan Resort

Location Spacious Villa

Kitchen Amenities

The location is perfect. It’s a five minute walk from the craziness of the main strip, but not too far away (like Pink Coco). Having been to Gili T twice now, I can hands down say, that the beach this hotel is located on is one of the best beaches on the island. What makes it one of the best beaches is the fact that it’s not crowded, it’s secluded, and the water is crystal clear. While you can’t swim at this beach after 2:00 PM, if you get to the beach by 10 AM, you will have plenty of time in the water and sun. The rooms are quite and the baseline room is much prettier than the “nicer” rooms. The air conditioning works great.

I did not like that the doors to the outdoor bathroom where so difficult to open and close every time you needed to use the restroom. Unfortunately you can’t keep them open because of the mosquitoes. If they had screens installed, then this would solve the issue of not being able to leave your doors open and fussing with heavy sliding doors. I also did not like that the room would get a rotten egg smell (likely from the septic tank) for three hours a day. Again, if I had screens, then I would leave the doors open and it wouldn’t be such an issue. My last complaint is that one of the workers at the hotel lied to us when we were headed to the sunset. He said it had already happened (even though it hadn’t and we saw it for a full hour) in order to offer to “take” us the next day. If it was my last night and I missed that amazing sunset because someone wanted to make a trip, then I would have been pissed. Trust your gut.
