Nusa Indah Bungalows — Hotel in Gili Air

Nusa Indah Bungalows was my families favourite stop on our trip around Bali and the Gili Islands!||||The location is by far the best on the island as it is the quieter, less busy side of the island with a lot of natural beauty still present in comparison to the busier, more populated sides of the island. The bungalows overlook the beach with the hotel having great day beds and loungers to relax on! The on site restaurant and bar is much cheaper than the rest of the island and the food is good! The breakfast was great too with a good selection of options||||The rooms are quite basic and room service is not provided every day, however the patio area is great and we had expected this from having done our research of the sort of properties available within our price range!||||The real creme de la creme of this property has to be the family that own it! They were extremely polite, accommodating and friendly! It was great to feel like we were contributing to the locally owned tourism sector....which i believe is not always the case on the islands!||||I would highly recommend this property for those travellers seeking a quiet and relaxing stay. Having done loads of research before the trip and viewing most of the accommodation whilst on the island, i can without a doubt say it is the best value for money property available on the island! It is basic though, so for the price,please don't be...

I think the other reviews have more or less got it right when you combine them.

1. The air conditioning is a bit flaky, sometimes it works fine but sometimes it is underpowered and not capable of cooling down the bungalows due to their thin walls. I think it just overheats (outside) and hence spots working eventually, but that's just a guess!
2. Three bathroom is outside and quite basic but clean (sadly they didn't empty the bin so after 3 days it really smelled bad). All the places on the island have salty water in the taps, but it's only lightly salty so can't complain too much
3. The included breakfast is basic (small omelette, small fruit salad or small pancake), but that's hardly a deal breaker
4. The location is great, lots of food and activity options nearby, but far enough away from big resorts and bars to give some silence at night (very rare can you hear noise). This was one of the best things about the bungalows. I'd pick it again, but would want to know the air conditioning has been...

I don't know how people are giving this place anymore than 2 stars!! |You get a single bed sheet to put over you at night time in a double bed and we asked for another one and they did not want to give it to us!! The mosquito net for the bed was absolutely filthy! There wasn't even a var of soap in the bathroom and the shower was freezing cold! |The breakfast was terrible the toast was cold and they won't give you fresh milk for your coffee it's custard stuff! No even butter for the toast you have to eat it dry.|It is a family run business and they all sit around at the bar/dinner tables and it nearly makes you feel out of place. |They are running a 'business' trying not to have any over heads which is completely wrong. People are coming to gili air to enjoy themselves and relax. You can't even sleep in peace with the thoughts of all sorts coming in the gap under the door of the hut! |Would not recommend this...
