Mangsit Senggigi|1.89km from city center
We went there around the Mid-Autumn Festival. The facilities were very good, the sun was very bright, and the pool and bath water were all fresh water. When the sun was shining during the day, everything was especially beautiful. When night fell at night, it was a windy day, and it felt like a whirring sound, the windows were blowing loudly, and the grass and trees were dense. The shower and bathtub were outdoors, and I didn't dare to take a shower for fear of catching a cold.
The pool water was very cold at 3 pm during the day, so I could only take pictures.
In addition, I encountered mosquitoes in this hotel one night, and I didn't encounter them anywhere else on the island during the entire 8 nights.
This hotel is on the same street as Quincy, Karan xx, and Holiday. After checking out of the hotel, the luggage cart directly sent us to Holiday.

View: 4.5/5
Villa size: 5/5
Food: 5/5
Maintenance: 2/5
This villa is as big as it looks on their website with amazing view. However, it is quite rundown and needs a refresh, especially the toilet.
The toilet bowl has stains and the overall bathing area are mouldy. I understand we’re in the middle of nature but I would expect better maintenance. Plus the water pressure was low.
Maybe it was the rainy season (it rains every evening/overnight), the area is filled with millipedes everywhere, the worst part is that they are in the villa as the doors/sliding doors have gaps. We’re fine if the insects stay outdoors but the millipedes enter our villa every single time and they appear at every creak of the villa. It was tiring trying to keep them out of the villa.
The redeeming factor for the villa is really the view, the Indonesian cuisine at Aura and their prompt service. The view is as amazing as you see on their website, if not more. And they have exceptional food at their restaurant and the service was superb.
And yes, there are monkeys in the morning and evenings. The staffs will inform you upon check-in, to lock the doors and avoid eye contact.FromBHD 66

A hotel that brought us a lot of surprises and warm feelings, we booked a two-bedroom villa. The hotel front desk manager saw that we were 5 people and immediately upgraded our three-bedroom villa. This is a big villa with a sea view. The room is spacious and everyone can live very comfortably. My son doesn't go to the beach every day in the private pool. Every waiter in the hotel restaurant is very enthusiastic and wants to learn Chinese, especially when I see my parents want to. Eat hot noodle soup, let the chef order seafood noodle soup, the two old people said that this is the most delicious noodle soup we have eaten in this ten-day journey, and the hotel front desk manager arranged the Lengmu Island sengjiji car and boat intermodal package Also very perfect, the price is much cheaper than Taobao, the key is that the Clippers directly to the hotel's beach to pick us up.

It is located near epicentrum. This is an okay hotel if you need to re-check your needs to Gili. If you forget some things (Like I do. I forget to bring suimsuit. Wow...isn't it?) I bought some suim suit at the mall. Nail clipper, sunblock too. Other than that, I dunno why I would recommend this hotel. I could have been wiser to spend my money at other hotel.
