Grand Sunset Gili Air

It was close to the beach and restaurants and shops

Located on a very peaceful stretch of the beach on the opposite side of Gili Air island to the harbour; it takes about 20 minutes to walk (10 minute by horse and cart). We saw a lizard in the bathroom as big as my fist, really cool. The outdoor bathrooms are also very nice although the hot water wasn't 100% reliable and the towels are very tired. The rooms are pretty basic and make sure you bring your own mosquito repellant. The people are very friendly and fun. Reception organised a boat and a taxi for us even though we arrived at Lombok airport very late. There was some very impressive entertainment on Friday night, live music cover versions and some fire dancing display, was very well put together. On first impressions it may not seem it but everything is very well organised and safe and they even have scuba diving lessons and stuff there. The Pool is very nice, I think it's supposed to be an infinity pool but they had it switched off or something.

The food wasn't amazing, breakfast was pretty weak but at the end of the day this isn't a luxury 5 Star place it's nice but not Grade A, a bit rough around the edges. There are lot's of other restaurants on the beach too, for grilled fish, pizza/pasta and of course fried rice and noodles.
