Homestays in Sekotong

After a short boat ride you pull up directly to the property, which has a beautiful view of Lombok from across the ocean. You can immediately get into your bungalow and settle in, escaping the sun if need be. The natural air flow and shade keeps the temperature down inside during the day, which is quite pleasant to sit and read in. There are ample options for sitting inside or out. I had come to do snorkeling, but unfortunately woke up with sinus issues the morning I traveled over. Due to this I was unable to get snorkeling in during my stay, but I was grateful for the comfortable accommodations in which I could try to recover more quickly. You will have mosquito netting for the bed, and it is advisable that you use it as some will visit during the nights. Also be advised that while you won't have a bidet (at least during the timeframe of my visit), you will still have bathroom access to a water spout and the means with which to remain clean. You'll be fine :) If staying around the property you will often see the lovely owners and their beautiful family enjoying the days. You can find friendly conversation with them, advice for enjoying Gili Gede's offerings, as well as some food or drink options if need be. Their son and I enjoyed some tasty pineapple smoothies in the shade of the ocean front tables, while flowers dropped from the trees above and butterflies fluttered around us. It was nice to have access to the icy treat, packed with vitamin C to help the immune system. Gili Gede is a slower paced, quiet, rural setting away from the party scene you might find among the northern Gilis. There is snorkeling and diving without the crowds, fishing trips, shell collecting when the tide is out, and other ocean activities to partake in which the owners can help you organize.

Sunset Hidaway. The perfect name, as we never were able to find it. We booked a room at this place while on the ferry coming from Bali. Arrived at the Lembar ferry terminal and off the ferry at 430 in the afternoon. Spent the next 2 plus hours trying both Google maps and Waze. Each had a location 4 kilometers apart from the other. We had three different local people trying to help us find this place. Never did find it. It was getting dark and those roads in that area are very bad so we finally had to give up and go to Mattsram. Still not sure the place even exists.

Great location and restaurant below was so good we had to eat there for dinner also after lunch.

Scam

Good and arranged well Staff attitudes are very good

I booked the tiny house villa because i needed to relax after hiking Rinjani and i could not have picked a better spot. The pool was clean and beautiful. The room was top tier and i was so excited to be able to sit on a couch and watch netflix on the TV with a good quality sound bar. Best place to spend a couple days to relax and feel comforts of home.

Nice clean rooms, lovely balconies and the staff were extremely kind and helpful

Super clean and nice! Very much recommended!
