This place was a real find. We used this as a base for a family holidays (7 and 5 year old boys). The rooms are generous in size, and private. The beach is nice, the pool although salt was a hit with the boys and staff just lovely.

The other positive reviews highlight a lot great things about this place and I fully agreed.

The distance from the main town was a bit of a Challange if you are there for diving, however hiring a bike soon solves this and one of the main features of this place is its away from the backpacker crowd.

An incredibly lovely place ,the staff was adorable and always around for any request,each joglo are beautiful and make your stay very special.The diner along the peaceful beach are as in a dream.
Can get realy hot there so if you are sensitive might consider get ac one, the pool could be a bit fresher ,one thing for sure the cold shower is warm enough and all what you wish.

We chose this resort as it was away from the main strip and we wanted somewhere quiet to relax. The rooms were nice and authentic the only problem was no air conditioning, it was extremely hot when we stayed and the fans just didn't cut it! (we live in Vanuatu and are use to the same type of weather)
We stayed in joglo 10, which was beach front, it was fantastic. The resort seemed quiet when we were there (which suited us) the breakfast was yummy and we enjoyed a whole day relaxing on the beach huts reading mags, playing monopoly and drinking cocktails!
The staff were friendly and were very helpful in organising our transfers etc.

We have been on Gili T from the 16th of November till the 20th. We arrived in the main centre and slept here the first night. For us a bit noisy, so luckily we found this lovely spot because we walked around the island. So, next morning we moved immediately to Desa Dunia Beda.
Our bungalow was beautiful, even as the swimming pool and the terrace with the gazebo's at the beach. Each morning we went snorkeling very early in the morning to spot turtles and had a delicious breakfast in the gazebo. The staff was absolutely fantastic and extremely helpful. So far absolutely nothing to complain about!

Though what made me very anxious were the working hours of the staff. From breakfast till dinner they were around, which means they had to work from approx. 6.00 am till 10.00 p.m. (16 hours a day)!! From my point of view this can be considered as absolutely leverage of the local people!! Especially because they (from what I heard), get only paid for 8 hours a day.
This made my stay a bit acrimonious as I couldn't enjoy my stay anymore knowing these people had to work for so long every day. The owner should absolutely take more sustainable aspects into account when it comes to the local staff but also when it comes to the environmental aspects like turning off the airconditioning when leaving the rooms and turn of the lights.
