Family hotels and homes in Sekotong

Breakfast was lovely, staff were wonderful, John Francoise was an excellent host and made us very welcome. The rooms were beautifully styled and felt like we were transported to an island in Greece - such a unique property highly recommend

After a short boat ride you pull up directly to the property, which has a beautiful view of Lombok from across the ocean. You can immediately get into your bungalow and settle in, escaping the sun if need be. The natural air flow and shade keeps the temperature down inside during the day, which is quite pleasant to sit and read in. There are ample options for sitting inside or out. I had come to do snorkeling, but unfortunately woke up with sinus issues the morning I traveled over. Due to this I was unable to get snorkeling in during my stay, but I was grateful for the comfortable accommodations in which I could try to recover more quickly. You will have mosquito netting for the bed, and it is advisable that you use it as some will visit during the nights. Also be advised that while you won't have a bidet (at least during the timeframe of my visit), you will still have bathroom access to a water spout and the means with which to remain clean. You'll be fine :) If staying around the property you will often see the lovely owners and their beautiful family enjoying the days. You can find friendly conversation with them, advice for enjoying Gili Gede's offerings, as well as some food or drink options if need be. Their son and I enjoyed some tasty pineapple smoothies in the shade of the ocean front tables, while flowers dropped from the trees above and butterflies fluttered around us. It was nice to have access to the icy treat, packed with vitamin C to help the immune system. Gili Gede is a slower paced, quiet, rural setting away from the party scene you might find among the northern Gilis. There is snorkeling and diving without the crowds, fishing trips, shell collecting when the tide is out, and other ocean activities to partake in which the owners can help you organize.

The local food there is great, and for fair prices. Owner and staff are really friendly and one feels like at home at a very nice place. We got free water refill and wifi. A short walk to the north up the mountain and through the little forest you can have a very nice viewpoint for sunsets. The seclusion of the place makes it very relaxing and quiet.

Really liked our stay in Mango Homestay! Ekar and his family and staff are such friendly and welcoming people. They can arrange anything for you, like snorkeling trip or transfer to one of the other islands. My boyfriend really liked the night fishing trip and barbecue. Would really recommend staying here!

the staff is really nice!! great pool

The prime location of this beachfront property captivated us. With direct access to a private beach, we felt ensconced in tranquility. The attentive staff anticipated our every need, even going fishing at night to serve us the freshest catch. The meticulously maintained natural-material huts added to the rustic charm. And the complimentary snorkel trip for guests staying three nights or more was an aquatic highlight. The free harbor pickup from Lombok was a thoughtful gesture, but the IDR 400k drop-off fee for a 1.5 hour drive to our next location was quite expensive compared to other driving services.

This place has so much potential. I really wanted this place to be a 10. The private pools on the Sea and the clean rooms were fantastic.

well maintained and spacious.! great staff spa is awesome
