Apart from the location being far away from the pier, there is nothing bad about it! The room is very beautiful. Although the water for bathing is filtered by simple seawater, it is relatively not very salty! Very close to the sunset area! But the sunset area is almost deserted by 10 o'clock in the evening! If you like liveliness, you should stay near the pier. The hotel will help call a carriage, and the breakfast is also very good. For this price and the environment and service, it can be rated 5 stars!
The location is really good, less than two minutes' walk from the pier, the environment is good, the house is very distinctive, it is the seaside, the service is good, the facilities are complete, and it is recommended
Villa is situated not far away from the ferry terminal. About 10-15mins walk. It would be good if hotel can provide free bicycle rental service instead of charging because there is a distance to walk in from the main pavement to the villa.
Service staff were very friendly and efficient.
Villa itself is pretty basic, room size is abit small but the shower room is huge and pretty.
The swimming pool in the middle of the villas looks gorgeous in day and at night.
Santorini is located on the opposite side of the Gili T from the port. I walked through the center of the island to get there and it took me about 25-30 minutes. If you have big or roller luggage, I wouldn’t suggest this. I just didn’t feel like trying to reason with the horse drivers (no Grab on the island) cause it was my first time and I didn’t know how much it should cost. PS, horse drivers are a standard 100,000. Anywho, the resort is decent and I received a welcome juice. The room was a bit smaller than I imagine. My biggest disappointment was the pool didn’t work and I booked there for 3 nights. I had to use my friends pool every day which was near the port. Other downfall, is the resort is far from the night life which is closer to port if you plan to be out late. And getting back to the resort, you walk or bike down these very dark roads. I ended up leaving after day 2 because the pool still wasn’t working. Food wise, I only tried the Fried Ribs and it was ok. The people were kind and the service was nice I must say. They compensated me by giving me a free bike rental. My recommendation is if you plan to just stay in one place to relax, Santorini is ok for that if the pool is working cause the beach is just across from the resort. But if you plan to explore the island and possibly do night life, I would stay closer to the port.
Even though it is located in the west side of island, I could stay peacefully. Breakfast is 150K per person. I recommend to include it when you book.
No need to move and find sunset place since just in front of resort was fantastic spot for sunset.
Strong recommend.
We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights.
The room was great, the staff was kind and attentive.
The beach was a 3-minute bike ride away, and there was a great cafe nearby where they served delicious food.
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting downtown

UUnplanned travelerBefore writing this review, I thought for too long about whether I should write this or not.
I wish people didn't know how friendly and warm the staff at this hotel is.
I wish other people didn't know how happy it is to eat a delicious breakfast while listening to the sound of birds and carriages and the sea breeze.
I wish people didn't know how enjoyable it is to walk back to room with a clean and beautifully maintained garden.
Above all, I hope the others don't know how fantastic it is to sit on the beach in front of the hotel and drink beer while watching the sunset.
I hope that when I travel here again, people will notice what this place is good and it won't be so full that I won't be able to stay here.
I was planning to stay on the Gili for two days, but stayed for two more. Although I had to give up southern Bali tour, I was able to have a happier time thanks to it.
I don't want to go home.
I don't want to go to work.

💞Reasons to Recommend:
The hotel was away from the busy beach front and noise, situated in a quiet remote location.
The hotel has cheap laundry services available.
The hotel allows you access to the main fridge to store your own drinks and food. There is free tea and coffee available.
💡 Think about:
The location is very remote, next to a farm. Often the farms burn wood and make bonfires and the rooms often smell like bonfire.
The hotel offers one choice of fruit, omelette or toast for breakfast.
Very small rooms with no safe.
The hammocks haven’t been cleaned and some are mouldy.
The bathroom is located outside, therefore if you do not like the outdoors, this hotel might not be for you.
GGuest UserDon’t believe the pictures in the advertisement! They don’t reflect reality. The pictures pretend that the hotel is at least a 4 * location. The truth is that this is not the case! It is located at a very poor area in mid of the island where local people burn their trash including plastic. The smell is disgusting it is everywhere, in your room also during night and it burns in your eyes. The hotel is run by a group of very young unprofessional boys and I would like to emphasise that they are really friendly, kind and helpful and try to do their best. They also prepare breakfast in a kitchen which is disgusting! Therefore, I preferred to have breakfast at a proper place even though breakfast was included. See the attached fotos to get an impression what expects you and better choose another hotel if you want to enjoy your holidays. I had to pay 400 € for 3 nights, it is not worth half the price. I tried to get a reimbursement but the hotel didn’t accept. They obviously see the hotel as a cash cow and not a place where their guest should feel comfortable. This was very frustrating! At the end Trip. com accepted my complaint and offered me help. My advice: Choose a hotel at the beach, there are so many!
CCN Man 420We stayed as two couples and had a spectacular time at Kelapa. Ren the manager was ready to help our every need straight away and helped us book bikes and trips. She went as far as confirming we didn't pay too much when we booked others on our own. The villa itself was clean, tidy and exactly what we were looking for. The pool is huge but rather deep for the most part so you'll want to keep an extra eye on children.
The Kelapa boys would come by to clean the place every morning about 10-11am and did an excellent job. They were very polite and made sure not to go into your room to clean without asking first.
I gave one less star on location because it's in the heart of the island where it's much quieter. If you're looking for a night out you'll definitely need a bike or carriage arranged, otherwise you can expect a long walk home.
We originally booked 3 nights and very quickly decided to add on to our stay. Thanks so much Ren and Team for an unforgettable visit!
Best,

NNicholasWe stayed in suite with sea view, which was a very beautiful room but would be more aptly named as poolside suite, since our view was mainly of the villas in front of us. We would have booked the ocean front villa but from the pictures it seemed like it wasnt very private and kind of the centre of everything, but those villas seemed much more private than the room we booked - pretty much in the reception of the villa. That being said, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the place only has 5 rooms, so it is quiet and you mostly get the pool to yourself and you can watch the sunset while swimming in the pool. The breakfast was good and the rooms were pristine and tastefully decorated. We would stay here again - just in a different room.
LLaurie972Very beautiful place in front of the beach with an excellent staff and service. People are warm and very helpful if you have any questions or need any help. The rooms is clean and cozy.
The room for 2 is a bit small I will say, might need to choose a bigger option if you like having a bit more space. I will add that I thought it was a bit dark and missing some daily light inside. The bathroom outside with open sky was good until the rain and wind were too strong to actually use it. The environment around the hotel is very peaceful and not too busy compared to the center. You can easily rent a bike and go to the center at any time if you want. Very convenient. You have a very good restaurant next door with great selection or food and beverages as well.
XXiaLinCharleneFirst, I would like to mention that the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location is good if what you are looking for is something close to the restaurants and shops but also not far from the turtle point. However, I must mention this as it came as a bit of a shock to us, the property is located right next to a mosque. They broadcast prayers 5 or 6 times a day starting at 5am. I realize that we are in their country and should respect their religious practices. But, we would have booked a different location if we had known this because the broadcast is not as loud in other parts of the island and would not disturb your sleep. The room service was also much less than what we are used to. They only clean every second day (you must hand in your key for this to happen - a detail they only told us after day 3 of staying there), but the staff did provide us with clean towels every day when we asked for it. The breakfast was also very basic, but the amazing service from the staff kind of made up for it. Overall an ok stay.
GGuest UserThe hotel is clean, the room is excellent, nice deep pool. The pressure in the shower is good. Right outside the hotel there is a beautiful sunset point, watching movies every evening on a projector on the ocean. The only thing is that there is no place to swim near the hotel, just go in slippers and stand on the coral in knee-deep water, but this is basically the case throughout Trawangan.
The main thing is the staff. The hostess Andi is simply incredible, he always gave a great mood, thank him very much
BBrandonAmazing cosy hut with friendly stuff, cool night chat with their stuff and music at night . away from the busy party sites and not too far from the jetty.
