Sunrise Resort

I stayed at Sunrise for a week and it was excellent. The highlight of the hotel is definitely it’s position on the beach. Sunrise’s stretch of beach is situated at some of the best off the beach snorkelling on Gili Air - u can swim straight from the beach and reach the reef drop off where you can see lots of fish, coral and turtles. I saw turtles everyday apart from one during my stay. The hotel itself is peaceful and the swimming pool is set back from the beach which ensures an element of privacy. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable and the hotel has good Wifi and also has 4G signal should you need it. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. In particular Yoga, Tino and Sufan were especially welcoming, amenable and friendly over the course of my stay. The hotel has a very relaxed vibe which fits in well with its surroundings in Gili Air. Their laundry service is great should you need to wash anything - my clothes were washed fast and I received them back very quickly. My only suggestion would be that I think the menu needs to offer a greater variety of local Indonesian dishes - the dinner menu is overwhelmingly Western and whilst the food was good, it would have been nice to see Sunrise’s restaurant offer a few more Indonesian options. Overall a throughly enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel especially if you are keen on snorkelling and wish to stay in a relaxed but smart and comfortable hotel with a fantastic beach location and excellent service. I hope to return to Sunrise in the future !
