Wilson's Retreat Reviews

One of the best hotels we’ve been to! We we’re very well received, and staff was super friendly. Breakfast was really good and so was the overall menu. The rooms we’re amazing, really big and spacious and we really enjoyed the outdoor bathrooms. Location was good, far from the busy and crowded center area but close enough by bike (10-15min), and you can rent them there. Rentals and bookings are a bit more pricey at the hotel, but definitely reliable and guaranteed! Swimming pool was great, and points for the front beach view! The owner of the hotel was also really friendly and helpful. Overall really good, and we can’t wait to go back!

Fresh, modern looking hotel. Located in the quite part of the island, right in the center of everything. 30 mins walking to the port. 30 mins walking to the western part party places. Nice snorkeling in front of hotel. Good restaraunt. Fantastic very helpful stuff. Would definitly recommend.

everything is perfect

Nice and quiet location. The stuff is friendly and breakfast is great. Snorkelling is possible directly in front of the hotel. One of the cleanest Hotels I have been in Bali & Gili.

The hotel's environment, hygiene and food should be good on the island, but the location is not ideal and too remote! It takes 20 minutes to ride a bike to go to a busy place to eat or to go to the pier to go out to sea. The road has potholes and it is difficult to ride. There are some sections where we have to push down. We also have children, so we are very tired! On rainy days, the road conditions are even worse. We originally booked three nights, but we really didn’t want to stay on the last night. The hotel didn’t agree to negotiate a refund, but we still left early.

The hotel is about a 30-minute walk from the downtown area. It is very quiet nearby. Compared with the central location, it has a more holiday a**osphere. The only difference is that the waves in this sea area are very big, which is suitable for surfing🏄♀️, but if you want to swim or dive, you have to rely on external forces. It is quiet and comfortable.

Close to turtle point. Breakfast was also satisfactory. There are friendly staff. There is a filming location for Youn's Restaurant nearby, and snorkeling is also possible on the beach in front of the hotel.

The staff is very friendly, the environment is very good, and the style is very unique! Recommended!

It’s a very comfortable hotel where I stayed in Indonesia for more than ten days. The room is spacious. I especially like the cloakroom. I can store my bags neatly. The food is delicious and the fresh juice is perfect.

Great location quieter side of Gili T Muri suites are clean & spacious with outdoor bathroom. Breakfast is great lots of choice as is the whole menu. Beautiful gardens - large pool - snorkeling with turtles right out front. Bikes for hire & snorkeling gear and great staff!

Our stay was okay big room and big outside bathroom Breakfast was okay. Hotel is in a very quiet surrounding Bicycle rental was not good, bikes were not in good condition ... . The wifi was not reliable you have to login every time you use your phone or i-pad. But i can recommend this hotel .

This is my favourite place I have ever booked. Snorkeling with turtles literally across the road and some of the nicest people I have ever met work here. It is a truely breathtaking escape that’ll have you never wanting to leave. WILSONS!!!

We took the fast boat from Padang Bai port. It’s a crazy confusing unorganized port so leave yourself time to figure out logistics. We prepaid tickets and our driver took us directly to fast boat office. Ride is a few hours and not very comfortable. There is a port tax on both sides. It’s less than $1 but you have to wait in line. Upon arrival on Gili T we rented bicycles easily and quickly. We rode to Wilson’s with our backpacks and it took maybe 15 min. The port area is filled with shops, bars and restaurants. They greeted us with welcome drinks and our room was ready. Very tropical island feel. Small resort where they quickly knew your name. Rooms have outdoor shower and outdoor bathroom which takes getting used to. There are a lot of mosquitoes and the rooms do have spray and candles. Room is comfortable and spacious. Pool was nice after the ocean. Delicious breakfast included served on beach and it was peaceful and beautiful. Hotel staff give you their what’s app if you need anything and they are very responsive so don’t be shy. The absolute best part of this hotel is the location. It’s the quiet north end. It’s only a few min bike ride to the party if you want. Absolutely most IMPORTANT this hotel is literally in front of the most amazing healthiest reef and all the snorkel boats park right nearby. It is a calm easy swim in the morning and you are swimming in a magnificent fish tank. We didn’t need any tours because the fish and turtles are right there! My husband swam hours every day. The hotel can rent you gear. We ate many lunches at Wilson’s and all tasty and reasonably priced. We ventured out on our bikes. Ate at Fat Cats a few times, a port side restaurant in busier area. Great people watching, music etc but always happy to return to the quiet end. It appears they also rent electric scooters (no motorized vehicles on Gili) but there are few so if you want one try and arrange quickly. Bikes were easy enough and fun. You can ride around the whole island. It is very small. Side note: phone, maps etc work great with Bali SIM card. I am so glad we got one online before we arrived. Wilson’s was a fantastic choice for us and we really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed in a one bedroom pool villa which was lovely. There was a large day bed which meant you had space to relax in the room. The outdoor bathroom was lovely, bring conditioner as they don’t supply it. The staff were all super friendly, they helped us organise a private speed boat to Lombok which went really smoothly. The breakfasts were excellent. There is a local man at the hotel where you can rent masks and snorkels. They were very good quality and we felt the snorkelling was comparable to the maldives. It’s an easy 20 minutes walk to busier areas. Plenty of choices for eating drinking and massages on the island. Very good value for money. We came with blue water express and they were excellent. Very easy. We absolutely loved Gili T and would return. If I was being very picky I would say the beach towels need replacing as they are getting old. Thank you for a great stay
