Hotel Prime Plaza di Gili Trawangan

This was the most beautiful place to spend a few days with our family of 5 (kids aged 11, 13 and 17). The villa was absolutely magical but please be mindful that it is an open air villa and Gili T is very hot so it can be quite warm sitting in the open air spaces. The bedrooms are very well air conditioned and I loved the outdoor bathroom. We visited during Ramadan and I also loved hearing the Karan playing faintly in then distance from the local Mosque overnight. We hired bicycles from reception and explored the beautiful island. We hired snorkels for $2.50 each and snorkelled right off the beach (wearing reef shoes is a MUST) and saw a huge variety of brightly coloured fish. I loved the included breakfast where fresh fruit and breads were served with fresh juice and then you can choose an item from the breakfast menu. We also ate lunch and dinner here which were lovely. We arrived at the island unwell for our last stop and the staff could not have been more accommodating in sending smoothies and coconut water to our room. Arranging a doctor late at night for my son and Keeping an eye on my 17 year old daughter who loved the freedom of riding around on the bicycle while we were sick. The view from our villa (number 3) to the beach was amazing. I would love to return perhaps without the younger kids as they found it very hot and didn’t enjoy it as much. We noted that there were very few Australians at the resort with most of the other guests being European which also made this feel more like a real holiday!!! I want to reinforce that the staff at Gili Eco Villa’s were outstanding and couldn’t have done more to make our stay as memorable as it was.
