Lombok Indah Cottages

Pros: this place is in a great location, the nicest part of the sunset beach, and the huts are located right behind the beach amidst a green, lush garden underneath swaying palms. The breakfast is great and always came promptly. I paid £16 a night for of the better huts, it was spacious, clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi worked well everywhere. The only time it got busy out on the beach was sunset. Nighttimes were peaceful and in the mornings I pretty much had the place to myself. Cons: although the couple of young Indonesian guys who run the place work very hard keeping the place clean and tidy (it really is a nice place) they didn't write anything down so when it came to check out there was a bit of an argument concerning what I owed. They can be a bit cheeky too but they're only young I guess. Also, one morning I arrived for breakfast later than usual and was told breakfast had finished, which for a resort is a bit ridiculous. Anyway I went for breakfast elsewhere but on my return they said they had made my breakfast afterall and left it out for me. I don't know what to make of that to be honest. Half way through my stay they put the price of a large bintang up from 35k to 50k. As is usual for resorts, the food is not as good as you'll get in a warung but its tasty enough. And it is served promptly as far as island beach resorts go. But aside from the sketchy service, for this money you won't get a better place in Gili Air. It was quiet as quiet on Gilli Air goes, had great views and the nicest stretch of beach and water. Between Indah and down past Pelangi etc is definitely the best part of the island. I really recommend it. Just be patient with the staff, they mean well, work hard, but sometimes just don't get it right.
