Pelangi homestay bungalow Gili Gede

Điểm cộng: Being right on the ocean was nice. The owners were great people who cooked delicious food. Good value for the money spent.

Điểm cộng: After a short boat ride you pull up directly to the property, which has a beautiful view of Lombok from across the ocean. You can immediately get into your bungalow and settle in, escaping the sun if need be. The natural air flow and shade keeps the temperature down inside during the day, which is quite pleasant to sit and read in. There are ample options for sitting inside or out.nnI had come to do snorkeling, but unfortunately woke up with sinus issues the morning I traveled over. Due to this I was unable to get snorkeling in during my stay, but I was grateful for the comfortable accommodations in which I could try to recover more quickly.nnYou will have mosquito netting for the bed, and it is advisable that you use it as some will visit during the nights. Also be advised that while you won't have a bidet (at least during the timeframe of my visit), you will still have bathroom access to a water spout and the means with which to remain clean. You'll be fine :)nnIf staying around the property you will often see the lovely owners and their beautiful family enjoying the days. You can find friendly conversation with them, advice for enjoying Gili Gede's offerings, as well as some food or drink options if need be. Their son and I enjoyed some tasty pineapple smoothies in the shade of the ocean front tables, while flowers dropped from the trees above and butterflies fluttered around us. It was nice to have access to the icy treat, packed with vitamin C to help the immune system.nnGili Gede is a slower paced, quiet, rural setting away from the party scene you might find among the northern Gilis. There is snorkeling and diving without the crowds, fishing trips, shell collecting when the tide is out, and other ocean activities to partake in which the owners can help you organize.

Điểm cộng: Really nice outside area, right next to the ocean. Very friendly people. The bed has a mosquito net.

Điểm cộng: Lovely hosts, really good location. The food is really good there too. Great value spot

Điểm cộng: Situated just in front of the sea on the lovely island of Gili Gede, Pelangi Homestay is a perfect match to feel like a local. The rooms are quite basic but have everything you need. Anton and his family are really welcoming, I really enjoyed the long conversations with him and his wife. Also, a tasty breakfast is included and the family run a small restaurant so if you are hungry you can have a delicious taste of Indonesian cuisine!

Điểm cộng: This is a lovely place to stay. Zuriah and her husband are charming and excellent hosts. One looks out over the water and It's a short walk up the hill to the Marina if you want the luxury of a beer etc. I walked around the island from here and it was delightful. Food was good, particularly the Gado Gado Zuriah prepared for me. nComfortable and safe. You can organise a boat to other nearby islands for snorkeling easily.

Điểm cộng: Nice room, great food, and good location! A lovely family!
