Pemenang Homestays

This was our second visit to Manta Dive at Gili Air, and we are already booked to go again in six months' time. We stayed at their garden bungalow accommodation and dived every day with them. We're both dive instructors with a lot of diving experience, but are also both past retirement age and appreciated the extra care the boat staff and our dive guide Mul took with us. The air-conditioned accommodation is excellent, with bottles of drinking water in the room, to supplement the drinking water that is freely available in the outdoor reception area. The bed is comfortable, though for our liking the pillows are a little too thick and huge. There is a fridge and a safe and a semi-outdoors bathroom, with plentiful hot water and a laundry service is available. Each bungalow has a private outdoor verandah with a drying rack and seating. Bring mosquito spray for the evenings, as there is a plug-in insect repellant, but they are persistent! For early risers, the 6.30am sunrises over Lombok island are spectacular. We observed many try dives and Open Water and Advanced dive courses being taught by the patient, knowledgeable and relaxed but safety-conscious Manta Dive instructors. Rafi, Ayu and Mariana are only mentioned by name because we did not get the names of a couple of others, who were also exhibiting excellent practice. We don't think we have ever seen such careful attention paid to beginner divers in our 25 years+ diving. Nothing was too much trouble, and we are sure this is why divers of all experience come back time and again to Manta Dive. Last time we visited, we dived with an excellent guide named Opik. Unfortunately he was off sick this time, but our young guide Mul was an equally perceptive, attentive and welcome replacement. He worked for two weeks to ensure that every dive was an unforgettable experience. We saw white-tip sharks, turtles, blubberlip snappers, but even more amazing, considering one of us has fairly poor eyesight, were the seahorses, ****y scorpion fish, leaf fish and nudibranchs that he took infinite care and time to show us. Divers are placed in an experience-appropriate small group with a guide/instructor. Breakfast is included in the accommodation price, with muesli, fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee, or cooked alternatives. A simple but varied lunch is also available after the two dives in the morning. We are pushed to think of any negatives, except maybe, as everywhere on Gili Air, you could find a lot of smokers in the outdoor areas of the dive centre - you might want to position yourselves upwind!

This was our third visit to ‘Coco Republic’ over recent years. Great location & lovely Bungalows right by the sea on the eastern side of Gili Air Island. Breakfast is at the near-by ‘Orong Villages Beach Restaurant’ which we enjoyed. My daughter has a dietary requirement of ‘Gluten free’ (due to Coeliac disease) and the Staff went out of there was to assist with our needs. The Staff at ‘Coco Republic’ are very friendly & accommodating. Felt like we were staying with our Indonesian friends! Thank you to my friends - “Re-Joel” , “E-one” & “August” (thought I should write the names with ‘Western English’ pronunciation – to assist future Visitors!!!)

This resort deliver value for money above expectations. I especially noted the fly sheet roof above the pool. Highly appreciated in the sun. The rooms are clean and well maintained. At arrival we had 50m from port to hotel and we were met with a fresh coconut to drink. Again an appreciated item. Level of service was all the time very high. This is not a huge resort which gives a closer relation between gunsts and the people working at the resort. Would happily select the same place of going to Gili Meno again.

I admit I have difficulty in understanding some comments that do not correspond to the reality even if the cafards are legions in Asia and if there may be dust behind the tables, and I have not demonted the ceiling. The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable.

The room is relatively large, the service attitude is not bad, the room hygiene needs to be improved. The food in the store was very, very delicious, which left a deep impression on me. . . .

Free bikes to use during our stay - few issues with dodgy chains but they just swapped bikes over. Staff all lovely. Arranged for us to be met when we arrived off the ferry, and got us horse/cart transport to Vyaana. Made special birthday breakfast for my son. Good breakfast. Didn’t eat here in the evenings as they didn’t sell alcohol. No hesitation in recommending a stay here.

Even after the earthquake I can very recommend this bungalow facility. The small kitchen was rebuilt differently, but the nice family is still there and cooks the best Indonesian kitchen I had so far. If you don't stay there, you'll go down, sit on the beach on the beds and let you bring the food to the sunset. The bungalows are not in the middle of the tourist trouble, no noise is played, but only the silent Reggae sounds, the bar next to are hearable. A Paradise We had a bungalow with air conditioning this time, which was very pleasant when it gets very hot.
