Guest UserThank you for the wonderful stay at
Pondok Santi Resort!
We loved the peaceful surroundings, the kindness of your staff (always smiling and welcoming!), and the exceptional service-especially the delicious breakfasts we looked forward to every morning. We were truly touched by the thoughtful gesture of preparing pastries for our departure.
It's rare to find a place that combines such attentive hospitality with the serenity of nature.

Guest UserThe hotel's location is fantastic, right on the beachfront with private sun loungers. The staff are welcoming, and there's a tap outside each villa to rinse off sand after the beach. We were greeted wonderfully and checked in immediately as our room was ready. They promptly brought welcome drinks and cold towels.
Regarding the downsides: there are no disposable toothbrushes or body lotion. The water isn't in disposable bottles but in a carafe that you have to refill yourself in the lobby. The room is very dark with insufficient lighting. The windows aren't airtight, leading to high street noise, especially when the call to prayer starts at night. The refrigerator is also very noisy. The air conditioner is positioned to blow directly onto the bed, so we had to sleep with our heads at the foot of the bed. The AC is also loud. There were strange worm-like caterpillars crawling in the bathroom and room. There are no power outlets near the beds. Breakfast is à la carte, with an additional buffet offering vegetables, fruits, cheese, cold cuts, and pastries. The breakfast food isn't very good; poached eggs were overcooked. A plus is that you can order several dishes from the menu. The latte coffee was very bitter, and I had to add milk myself. I believe the price for this hotel is too high. The only plus is the location – it's conveniently situated a 10-minute walk from the port and has a beach spot where you can see turtles.

Excellent location. It's a one-minute walk to the sea, and you get gorgeous sunsets right on your doorstep. The rooms are spacious, and the bathroom is large and comfortable with a stylish interior. There are only 20 rooms, making it a small and cozy place.
Like most hotels in Indonesia, there's an issue with room cleaning; you often have to remind them to change the linen, and the towels can be stained.
Another downside is the window screen in the bathroom—it makes it very hot during the day, lets insects in, and loud music from Rabbita often blasts through.
Overall, it's a good, comfortable hotel. We stayed for 6 nights.

We chose this hotel for our honeymoon because we were looking for a place on the west side of the island, which is generally quieter than the east and offers beautiful sunsets. This place looked promising, so we booked it.
The food at the hotel is absolutely delicious, and in the evenings, you can enjoy drinks, especially the fantastic cocktails 🤤, by the beach or at the pool. All the staff are incredibly friendly, and the room condition is excellent. The bathroom isn't a completely open-air one, so we didn't have to worry about rain or bugs. They also offer free bicycle rentals, which makes getting around very convenient.

I really liked the hotel! It's located on the beachfront, which is very convenient. There's a restaurant on the beach, a movie theater, and movies and cartoons shown every evening. You get separate towels for the beach or pool. The hotel buildings are large, two-story, with a long pool between them. The rooms have a mini balcony and a window, which brings in plenty of light. There are blackout curtains. The room is spacious and has everything you need: a large bed, a comfortable mattress, large blankets, and pillows. There's a kettle, tea, and coffee. The shower and toilet are modern, and everything is clean. They clean every code day, which is good. 👍 The air conditioning is clean, fully charged, odorless, and works perfectly! There's one caveat: the Wi-Fi didn't work in the room on the second floor for two days, but it started working on the third day. Breakfast in the morning is served in the restaurant overlooking the sea. The buffet offers a wide variety of food! It's delicious! The staff is very polite, professional, and friendly! I'm happy with my stay! 👍

Guest UserThe hotel is conveniently located right next to the port. It's on a very lively street, with lots of tourists, shops, cafes, and even horses – always bustling with activity. The breakfasts are fantastic – a lavish buffet plus you can order additional dishes to be prepared. Truly among the best! The rooms are incredibly clean and beautiful. The hotel's design gets an A+! 🤓

I recently stayed at this hotel and honestly… I’m still kind of amazed, though I can’t quite put my finger on exactly why. It’s one of those places that just feels good the moment you arrive — or at least, I think it did. Something about the whole atmosphere gave off this calm, welcoming energy, even if I can’t fully explain it.
The overall experience was… honestly, really lovely. I don’t know if it was the way everything seemed to run so smoothly, or just the general vibe, but it made me feel comfortable in a way that surprised me. Everyone I interacted with seemed genuinely nice — or at least, it felt that way — which made the stay feel more personal and warm.
There was this sense of everything being thought through. I couldn’t necessarily point to one specific thing that made it stand out, but the combination of everything — the ambiance, the way things were handled, just the overall feeling — made it seem almost effortless. It’s like everything worked together quietly in the background to make the stay good without needing to shout about it.
Even though I can’t name exact details, I had this strong sense throughout my time there that I was being taken care of in a subtle, reassuring way. It wasn’t loud or flashy, just consistently good. The environment felt balanced, almost like it understood exactly how to make guests feel at ease without trying too hard.
I left feeling genuinely happy and strangely relaxed — the kind of feeling that sneaks up on you when everything just… works. And even if I can’t explain every reason why, I know I walked away with a really positive impression. I’d absolutely consider staying here again. Probably more than just consider, honestly.

We booked for a weekend surf trip. For us, the location was amazing- right on the beach close to the wave. Also a short bike ride to the main road through the island. The boys loved the endless breakfast buffet, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were fine and had good AC. Simple but met all of our needs. Would return!

xcratLocation is good, thats why i chose this hotel. Its not on the main street. But Im solo guy so this is best for me. Near to jetty and near to one and only night market and main night life area and all cafes. Hotel offers bikes rental and day trips with reasonable price. Its good enough for solo or couple who would go for diving for few days on the island. If u r in gili for more than 2 days, I’d suggest u go north to explore better hotels and different experiences on the island or meno or air would be for you. Very near to the beach for sun rise as well. Bfast is superb and other meals as well. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Pool is normal but they managed to use for the available space for it. Close to local mosque but they do provide some kinda ear plugs for that. But its just few mins during the day. Highly recommended. You cant expect very good hotels on the island with less crowded crowd and this is good enough for few days esp when its close to the jetty to leave.
