I recently visited Mawar Café in Gili Trawangan and, unfortunately, it was a deeply disappointing experience. Despite the beautiful surroundings, the visit was marred by several issues. First, the prices for drinks were far higher than expected. The cost for beers was excessive compared to other spots on the island, which was surprising and frustrating. The café seems to be capitalizing on its location without delivering quality service or products in return. The biggest issue, however, was the food. The chicken I ordered had a horrible smell, which immediately put me off. I couldn’t even finish my meal because it was so unappetizing.

Read moreWe arrived and hired snorkels from the cafe. we put our things onto the sun beds and went for a swim. We ordered some drinks whilst sitting on the beds, when I went to pay there was an additional 10% tax which wasn't mentioned or noted on the menu. When we went to leave they said there is an additional 100,000idr for using the sunbed because we didn't order food, which also not mentioned to us. I ordered some food which came out pretty quickly . Overall wouldn't recommend this place just due to their sneaky money grabbing methods and there are definitely more cheaper, and more honest places...
