Had 7 days at Samba Villas with husband and 2 kids in May. We all shared a large traditional style Villa which was perfect. Outdoor shower and airconditioning in room a bonus. Large fridge was great to cool beers and water. Small pool at front of Samba Villas was great for a quick dip after the beach or bike ride.... More

It was overall a good dining experience. Didn't stay in the Villa's but will try to the next trip. We stopped by the restaurant as we were recommended by local europeans and saw the trip advisor rating posted right outside the restaurant. Food quality and service is overall good. One of the best satay dishes on Gili T compared to... More

We stayed here for five nights last March. The location is perfect; away from night life but not too remote. The beach was nice too. We booked for deluxe room with extra bed, but apparently the air conditioner didn't work well so we asked the staff to check and fix it if necessary. After waiting for quite a while, we... More

I feel like i have to post this because we stopped to eat here due to the trip advisor rating they had posted. Poor service, poor food, poor overall experience. Took over an hour for food to come out, tasted bad. Bintang came out warm and covered in rust(?). Worst dining experience on the 2+ week trip! I know its... More

This resort is below average yet over-priced. The rooms are really ordinary (some even lacking a bed side light). The hotel pool is directly attached to one of the larger villas, so it feels like you are swimming in somebody else's pool. Even then the pool is small and grubby and it has no space for sun lounges or sitting... More

We had only two nights here but the place is great! Just a view minute by "horse rickshaw" to be there. Staff is extremely friendly and easy going. Rooms are clean and close to the beach but no beach view which is ok. They got a beach bar and restaurant and food and drinks are good and reasonable priced. Pool... More

We stayed one night at Blu D'mare then moved here on the second night after seeing the rooms. Staff were great and friendly, Rivan was especially helpful. Stayed in the Casus dream side of the hotel. The Samba Villa side looked a bit nicer, but our room was still very reasonable. Extremely clean rooms and a communal pool. Would recommend... More

Our first choice on Gili T was Gili Eco Villas, but they could only offer us two nights so we spent the other two nights at Samba Villas in a family suite at the back of the property (actually one large L-shaped room with an open air bathroom). The room itself was perfectly fine - comfortable and clean and just... More

We stayed at Samba villa in Feb 2013 and found the hotel overpriced (2 bedroom villa), dirty, and at a low service level. Towels in the room were dirty and the room was smelly and warm when we checked in. Honestly, Samba villa has a great piece of the beach, but location is all that is has.
