It was the first time we went to the Gili Islands, from among the three we chose Trawangan for being the one that offered more services and accommodation. And we do not regret it at all, much of the fault lies in the place where we stayed, the Martas Hotel. Here we spend 3 days enjoying the island, its sunsets and beaches, snorkeling, restaurants and bike routes.

It is in the sunrise side from the island (where ferries arrive), about 10 minutes walk from the port. It is the walking area, but being two streets inland is far enough to rest during the night. Although eye, the town is tiny and the mosque can be heard from any point, also from your room, although to be honest, we love it! Lety says that in another life she must have been Muslim ... who knows.

We share this trip with my parents, being 4 and we stayed at the family bungalow, but there are also smaller ones and double rooms. Although everyone is very cool! The construction of the bungalows is made with carved wood and natural stone, the truth is that it looks like an authentic little country house! They have a private bathroom, air conditioning in each room, fridge, kettle electric jug with its coffee set, satellite TV, WiFi throughout the premises and oooorious beds!

But the area that we liked most of all was the porch part, in the entrance terrace There is a giant sofa to relax, read, take a nap or even have breakfast in the morning if you prefer to do it here instead of in the restaurant.

And speaking of breakfast... it is becoming our part of the favorite day, before we did not pay much attention to whether the accommodations included it, but after this trip I think we will think twice before choosing. Here they serve a breakfast to choose between tortilla (cheese is very good), eggs in general in their other modalities and pancake, all with their fruits, juices and coffee or tea. There is nothing!

And obviously the swimming pool! We do not get tired of bathing both in the sea and in the hotel pool ... We must take advantage, right?

The staff was super attentive to us, they cleaned every day and helped us at all times. They also offered us a service of bike rental for 50,000 IDR per day.
