Omah Gili Hotel

As a large family group of 15 ppl, we accommodated 7 rooms, in all 4 of the accommodation room types. - Rooms are basic, but very charming. It feels as though you are staying in a village! - Nice little pool, well kept gardens - Great breakfast. We loved the simple breakfast of fruit, toast, eggs (as you like it) and juice/tea/coffee. - location is a short walk from ferry and close to the main hub for shops, bars and restaurants. I loved that we were off the beach as we hired bikes and explored the island daily. The centre of the island is amazing. - didn’t mind the salt water bamboo shower as an outdoor bathroom is always beautiful. - rooms had all kinds of quirks you can imagine with budget accommodation (taps not working properly, broken air con etc)- but staff always stepped in to fix ASAP or swap rooms. - staff were lovely, helpful and friendly. - Think budget and charming- overall we really enjoyed our stay!

- pricing of the rooms wasn’t indicative of the quality and value- some rooms are very reasonable and others (the two bed villa in particular) seemed over priced. But i was happy in our two storey bungalow with my husband and 2 kids. - 2 storey bungalow was only room with a fridge (my mother needed to store medication, so she needed to access it daily). It would be great if all rooms had a small fridge, or access to a large communal one. - Rooms were very dark due to the dark wood design and lack of windows. But we got used to it.

The bungalow with garden views are the best. The smaller ones are a bit dark. Outdoor bathrooms with salty water are novel. Call to prayer and roosters woke us every morning about 4.30am but got used to it after a few days. Staff very friendly. Breakfast simple and generous. Great central location. Really enjoyed it not being in the tourist coastal clusters. All in all we loved our stay.

Definitely not to everyone’s liking if expecting hotel standards but we loved it and would stay there again. Most rooms don’t have a fridge which I missed.

The bungalow was really charming with the outside bathroom and wood everywhere. Close to the beach (but wrong side for the sunset). We just stayed just one night and it was good, we could have stayed a bit longer..

Close to the mosque, which is at the center of the island so not sure you can avoid it anyway..

We stayed in one of the bungalows and it's was perfect for our needs. Lots of room, the outdoor shower was great which had hot water, and lovely swimming pool. The hotel was close to main port, restaurants, and beach where reef was located. Great value for money.
