    Nothing to dislike.

    We loved this place. We stayed for 5 nights with our kids in a family room. The food was amazing the location was also incredible the sunsets were stunning to watch. We never heard anything from our room. The pool was great to chill out around. The hotel staff were amazing at helping us with bikes and boat trips and laundary which came back smelling amazing. The breakfast smoothie bowls were incredible. We would 100% come back. Thanks to the Mowies team.

    We spent three nights here and were absolutely delighted with our stay. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy every moment. The staff deserves special praise. They are attentive, responsive, and truly pleasant people. They handle any questions related to tourism around Gili professionally and with care. It was also wonderful to see how much effort they put into maintaining the beach, the tables, and creating a welcoming space for guests. The restaurant is outstanding. The chef prepares a fantastic tuna steak, easily one of the best we have ever had. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and served with great attention to detail. The place itself feels like paradise: a beautiful beach with soft sand, stunning sea views, and a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. This is definitely a spot we would love to return to again and again. A big thank you to the Mowie’s team for making our holiday so special!

    The rooms were a little old, very basic. There was no tea or coffee facilities in the room. Some breakfasts were included with the bookings but if you deviated at all from the free menu you were charged.

    Location was fabulous. Staff were helpful and food was great. Beach access was good.

    Great value for money, rooms are very spacious, bathroom is open to the wild but at the same time covered so no insects can come into the bathroom and eventually the room. There was no free breakfast, however there was specials for guests as the restaurant is quite good and popular.

    I had seaside bungalow which was beautiful - bathroom had west facing bathroom roof so it was always very hot in there. Shame because it had a big bathtub but it was generally too hot and stuffy to use - would recommend for this room air con be put in bathroom). Also this bungalow and others near it get a bit of music noise from restaurant ( it is next to restaurant). Hot bathroom and music was not an issue for my travel companions ( and their rooms also lovely and well appointed). Rooms do have little fridge but no kettle for a morning cuppa - having said that, we asked for kettle and they happily provided.

    Fantastic location on the island, and right on the beach but also offering nice pool. Property is a range of different bungalows (about 16 - a nice size so not too many people). All nicely appointed with comfortable beds with mosquito nets (and all have terrace or little deck you can sit on). Has its own bar/restaurant with fantastic staff. As a guest you can reserve beach sun lounge with umbrella for the day). They also put beanbags with table on beach which is great for watching the sunset every evening. Also close to other restaurants and 10 minute walk to jetty where all boats arrive (very handy as the only transport on island is horse and cart so very good if you just have one bag or backpack so you can walk to accommodation).

    The windows need coverings on them like blinds or curtains as it is hard to sleep at night with how much light enters the room. The towels need an update, they are worn down, hard and have stains and holes. Also the noise from the restaurants surrounding the hotel can be loud at night especially when you're trying to sleep.

    This is a place that feels like magic from the moment you arrive. The staff are incredible, we really appreciated everyone and how they treated us, always greeting us with big smiles, high fives and accomodating our every need. A big shout out to Adi & Ali! We travelled with our 8 year old daughter and she had the best time, we felt so safe with her wandering around as the staff were always keeping an eye on her aswell and entertaining her. I love that the accomodation and restaurant are on the beach as this is the one place that you can truly just chill and relax all holiday long and don't have to go anywhere else if you chose not too.

    The rooms could do with having a long length mirror as there was only one mirror in the bathroom. Minor, but would be useful for getting ready in the evenings

    It felt like paradise. The decor is amazing, staff are absolutely lovely and very helpful and location is spot on. If you’re thinking of booking, do not hesitate! Would definitely recommend!

    Nice accommodation with individual units right by the beach but not open to to the street. Pool tucked away behind restaurant which serves lovely food. The $50k in house breakfasts are great. The beach is tidal and can have big waves but it easy to work around the tides. Not so busy down this end of the island but close to lots of other eateries and with a bike everything is close.

    No fault of Mowies but the Music from a neighbouring property was shaking the walls one night till about 4AM. I think it was full moon party

    Small boutique resort with a great restaurant on the beach well located for sunset. Repeat guests so will stay again and recommend. 5 Star staff as usual.

    Cutes little Island resort. Awesome staff, special mentions to the manager Bali, who went above and beyond organising everything we asked him to, from private transport to Lombok, to snorkelling trips etc... Super friendly. Great food, great location. Spent 5 days here and everything was perfect. Can't recommend this little paradise enough.
