Wilson's Retreat

Excellent 11 night stay at Wilson’s Retreat, Gili Trawangan. Great food and drinks (notably the cosmopolitans and frozen mango daiquiris). Superb staff and attentive service. Any minor issue was thoroughly dealt with within 5 to 10 minutes. Phenomenal snorkelling anywheres from 25 to 100 metres off the beach in relatively shallow water with numerous sea turtles between 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Recommend you stay here.

Great room, staff was very friendly and helpful in making arrangements

First, the positives... We stayed in a Julu room. The bed, linens, and pillows were very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and sweet, and treated us very well. I appreciated that someone came around every dusk to light a mosquito coil on our front patio. My wife and I also really enjoyed having the patio to sit on in the evening after dinner. There is a lovely fan right above the sitting area which keeps things cool and keeps mosquitoes away. Also, the property's cats are very sweet. The included a la carte breakfast was also quite good. It was nice being right across the street from the beach and there are turtles swimming just off the shoreline. The staff arranged transportation from the resort to the peer, a boat to Lombok, and a car waiting to take us to the airport. It was seamless. Now, for the downside... There were not a lot of electrical outlets in the room. The only one we could find access was in the bathroom. The woven seats in the room when we checked in, were too low for us to sit on. But when we asked for chairs they accommodated us with some from the dining area. The photos of the rooms make it look quite bright; they're actually quite dark even with the inside lights on. As the bathroom is partially outdoors (traditional Indonesian), that means it's usually quite hot and humid in there and mosquitoes are readily able to access that area. Another thing to be aware of is that the north side of the island it's not as quiet as I had thought. There are

Our 1 week stay at Wilson retreat was absolutely amazing, and the best hotel we have ever stayed at - it is the perfect combination of good friendly service from the staff and still a cozy and down to earth vibe. The location is the best on the island as it is quite and away from all the party hotels, and the perfect place to spot turtles is right in front of the hotel, so you can spit them while having breakfast at their beach restaurant. We stayed in the villa with a pool which was lovely and the rooms were beautiful and clean. We can highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return!

Firstly if you have never been to Gilli T Island you are in for a treat, what a wonderful location. Hotel was lovely and you can sit on the beach under the trees for your meals which was great. We snorkelled directly iff our beach and after a short swim we were in 5 metre deep water with lovely scenery. We had a room with private pool which was just a good size. Bed was comfortable and shower was in open air which was special. I highly rate this hotel.
