After we arrived by boat, we did a 5mn walk from the restaurant on the beach to the hotel. As we walk we we're not so confident to find an hotel with good standards as the houses we saw were miserable. So we were very surprised by the high quality of the hotel (swimming pool and rooms) and its cleanliness.... More

Don't be put off by the walk from the beach through the village- this is a great little hotel. Yes it's dark at night, but they provide torches with a strong beam and during the day the short walk provides a nice insight into the local way of life. Maintained to a very high standard, the rooms are spacious, comfortable... More

The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The pool is small but great to use when you get back from the beach and get into that cold water. The walk from the beach to the villa is ok in the day, but at night is harder as none of it is lit up. so you kind of guess where you... More

We stayed at Scallywags on Gili T and loved it so we couldn't wait to get Scallywags on Gili Air... Now, I feel a little bad for only rating the Mango Retreat 3 stars - after all both the Scallywag resorts are pretty much identical - they are very well maintained, the bungalows are of a high standard, the outdoor...

We stayed in Scallywags for a couple of nights. The rooms seem new, are well equipped and very clean. The outdoor shower was also nice. The pool area is quiet and well maintained. This has a boutique hotel feel and is suited more to couples and families with older children. My only criticism is the location which is a few... More

Our stay at Scallywags Mango Retreat was very pleasant. After not so pleasant experience at Scallywags on Gili Trawangan here in the sister hotel, we enjoyed our stay. Despite the fact that the hotel is located a few hundred meters from the beach in the interior of the island it makes no a problem. The restaurant on the beach can... More

What a gorgeous hotel! Can't fault it. Comes equipped with tv+DVD, the best mini bar I have ever seen, outdoor shower with hot/cold water, air con and a little private patio to chill on. Nice pool, location isn't on the beach though, it's about a five minute walk in land. Staff are lovely. There is the best Warung next door-... More

We stayed as a family of 5 for 2 nights, as part of a 3 month tour of Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. Great fun place, well designed and comfortable. The food at Scallywags restaurant on the beach was exceptional. Amazing day snorkelling round Gili Trawangan, Air and Meno. The boys saw turtles, sea snakes and thousands of fabulous fish. More

Lovely accommodation on Gili Air. Delightful beach club. Wonderful staff. The only issue is that the retreat is quite far inland and this made walking back at night (or in the rain) a bit of a chore & if I was on my own I would probably feel a little uncertain about the walk from the main restaurant areas to...
