Royal Regantris Villa Karang

Near to the port... love the buffet breakfast. Just that when not so many people there they change breakfast to ala carte.

Great place we will be back

This hotel was a huge disappoin**ent ! Tired and very run down, and the staff were ( with a couple of rare exceptions ) ineffective and disinterested. The rooms (supposedly a suite) was clean, but very tired and run-down. The bathroom very stained and shabby. If you called reception to request something, it was a 50/50 chance of it arriving. You generally had to go and get it yourself. The room had no hair dryer, so you had to 'borrow one' from reception, and opening a bottle of beer to drink on your verandah was a major challenge, no opener was provided and getting somebody to open it was beyond belief. The staff individually, were all pleasant, but def' not on top of their game, which I suggest came from very poor management ! We were on a 'breakfast included deal' but ended up going out for breakfast due to the very poor quality of what was provided.

First time visited gili air and stay in this hotel is very comfy. Very friendly staff, excellent service and good food. Also we attend to movie night space and we watching with other guest in the beach with big screen and that is very pleasure experienced in gili air

I visited Gili Air first-last time 6 years ago and spent most of my time in a hut-shaped accommodation next to one of the mosque’s speakers. Looking back on old photos and screenshots, Villa Karang is something we considered, but didn’t choose for our last night. The prices have dropped *considerably*. Villa Karang does lack the same kind of personality as some of the other places on the island (be it the more old authentic or new hobo huts), but if that’s not important to you, it’s probably one of the better places to stay. A lot of the island/accommodations felt dead in 2023, but this one seemed consistently busy. It definitely has more of a resort vibe with a large reception area and an open plan courtyard layout for guests. You get welcomed with a drink and there’s a restaurant on site. Garden is well maintained, though pool could probably do with more TLC. It’s usable, but there’s definitely some leaves and bugs floating around. We saw the courtyard constantly tidied, but pool only one the last day (granted, we weren't there always). The pool bar wasn’t open (we did visit out of season) and no noise carried through to the rooms and we definitely had neighbours. Doors close probably 99%, but we didn’t have any bugs or other wildlife make its way into the room, but the Gili dirt on the other hand is impossible to shake. We opted out of cleaning initially, but this was definitely a mistake (plus you won't get your top up water then). There’s a laundry service, a spa nearby & the hotel hosts cinema nights. You’re probably as close as you could get accommodation to the port and walking a bit further, it’s right next to the sunset spots. There’s a few friendly, but loud cats roaming around (not an issue for us). Breakfast was an extra couple of euros and for that was adequate, though not amazing. The room was of adequate size and definitely more modern-fresher looking than some of the other places we’ve stayed on the island (though bathroom was the smallest). There was a safe and a TV, but we used neither, so can’t comment on that. Bed wasn’t the worst, but a bit too hard for my liking (common theme in Indonesia, it seems). A/C kind of worked - as in that in one regime it did blow out cold air, but it was just consistent cold air rather than adjusting to the set temperature (also common). It was also the only place we stayed in where it made a quiet humming noise - my partner didn’t mind, but it did bother my autistic brain and made me sleep with headphones. However on the bright side I found out only later that the mosque speakers did reach our accommodation after all. 7SEAS is the only place I’ve stayed where I haven’t heard them, though, so it’s kind of unescapable, and not the hotel’s fault. Staff seemed a little clueless at times and a lot of them seemed to only speak basic English, but were lovely and always available otherwise, and for us this wasn’t an issue. I would probably consider staying again if I ever visited Gili Air ag

i was with my family trip from Australia, Canberra, it was very cool place to stop by and very comfortable stay. We watching movie with other guest that held every night and the staff at restaurant is very helpful, also when we checkout the manager Mr eldy is very wish we are coming back next year, we hope so! thankyou very much -Karl

Wonderful place, only there one night wished I could've stayed longer. Felt like a palace for a reasonable price!!
