Gili Asahan, P. Gili Asahan hotel rooms at the Independent

"Beautiful room w/ private patio at back w/ swing and couch, beside a bubbling brook lined with bamboo trees!"

"The hotel villas and rooms are gorgeous while the foods were not that great. Considering the it's an inclusive resort, it would have been nice to taste the authentic Indonesian flavors instead of a bland taste that is catered toward most westerners. The communication were not great, for example ferry ticket discrepancy (it was quoted for 400K/RT/for 2 ppl but when we got to the ticket place it was for 1 person tix. After several confirmation prior to arrival at the place that it was 400K/RT/ for 2pp. Lost in translation even at the restaurant, we ordered for breakfast my husband got his breakfast and I never got my food. This was due to the mis-understanding with language barrier. It would been helpful if the staffs repeat the order or ask if everything was ok. The place is beautiful but nothing much around it; the nearest restaurant is probably another 30 mins taxi ride. The road is very narrow and windy; but once you get to the resort it is beautiful. "

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Sundancer Residences and Villas Resort Sekotong .Not only was service excellent, the staff were friendly, pleasant and they exudes a very warm and genuine Nature in all they do .The walk from the villas to the beach is stone throw away .I was thoroughly blessed and impressed by the garden dinner where staff display their their talents in a cultural dance and street fighting.Even guests were invited to join in the fin .Then there was a lovely beach BBQ with nice food s and was amazed by the wonderful Fire Dance performance ( 2 of the 3 performers from the resort ) .I enjoyed the tranquility the place provides & will be there away next year "

"My friend and me stayed in this beautiful hotel for one night after our Rinjani climb. The hotel was quiet and peaceful, with the concierge manned by polite staff who speaks decent English. Our room was spacious and even had a small balcony furnished with seats and a table. The bed was very comfortable and we both had a great night’s sleep here. A couple of downsides though. First, the Wifi uses a login page and disconnects ever so frequently. The internet speed also slows down after some time. Second, there seems to be no hot water during the night since I switched on the hot tap and waited under the cold shower for more than five minutes to no avail. It’s ironic that there’s a sign asking us to save water when we had to wait quite awhile with the shower running before realising there’s no hot water coming today."

"We loved our stay so much that we tried to extend a week (they were full). The triangle bungalows are spacious and romantic with lots of little details. The owner designs luxury resorts and it shows. The included breakfast was amazing, smoothie bowls, fresh juices, waffles, etc. We ate dinner there almost every evening and loved every bite. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. We got to know several of them more personally and had great conversations. There is great snorkeling nearby. You can use the resorts snorkeling gear and their kayaks/sup to get to the nearby uninhabited gili. So fantastic! I almost didn't want to write this review to keep this resort a little secret, but they deserve every accolade."

"Stunning views, best massages on the island, high quality spa, clean, yummy food, cozy comfortable beds, and it’s the only property with walking distance to the Atuh beach! Highly recommended!"
