Pondok Santi Estate is the ultimate getaway retreat featuring twelve beautiful bungalows set in lawned grounds on an ancient coconut plantation. Each traditional bungalow has a beautiful open-air bathroom, safe, air conditioner, mini bar, fan, lovely front terrace and day bed overlooking the manicured grounds. Private Pool Bungalows also include their own plunge pools, sun lounges and king size outdoor daybed. There are several day beds around the pool, on our beach and on the grounds, which are the perfect place to chill out, sleep or read. During the day, get together around the large 25m central pool where snacks and cold drinks can be ordered, listen to music or just relax on the sun lounges. The resort offers a boutique restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner while the main beachfront strip starts just 400m away with dive shops, restaurants, and beach bars, so you're never short of somewhere to eat. Cooling white stone paths link the areas of the estate, and coconut palms provide welcome shade in the heat of the day. In fact, everything has been designed to make sure your stay is comfortable and hassle-free. The island, with its coral reefs, is a favorite destination for divers, and one of the best dive spots is right outside Pondok Santi. There are plenty of dive shops on the beachfront where you can hire equipment, and arrange a boat trip. You don't need a boat for snorkelling as there's plenty of colorful coral and marine life to discover from the beachfront, including turtles, clown fish and many more! If surfing is your thing Pondok Santi is the perfect place, with a surf break right off the beach. For a couple of hours either side of high tide, you can paddle out and enjoy the waves. Most days and evenings 'Princess Margaux', the resorts luxurious traditional outrigger is available for sunset and snorkeling cruises, the boat can also be hired privately for island hopping adventures throughout the day. The island also offers riding and kayaking, and there are numerous spas on the island, where you can enjoy facials, massage and other beauty treatments. Lombok is just 20 minutes way by boat - a great destination for a game of golf, exploring the markets or a hike up Mt Rinjani.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our experience in the Gilis was absolutely perfect because of the team at Pondk Santi! An absolutely gorgeous room with an outdoor shower and beautiful amenities. The team was so generous and genuinely enjoyed their job. The food was outstanding as well! We even got to meet the owner and his family, and he truly took an interest in us. We will be back for sure.

A must stay on Gili T - in my eyes this is a 5* resort. The staff are all incredibly helpful, Maria was amazing and helped me so much during my stay. There is so much to do at the hotel, snorkelling, beach day, cooking class, yoga, and it is incredibly tranquil. So glad I found this hotel, I can’t wait to return

We stayed for 3 nights as part of our 3-week honeymoon, on the recommendation of some friends who live in Bali. It was our favourite part of the trip and the best hotel we've ever stayed in, we were so sad to leave! All the staff were so lovely, we've never experienced service like it, everyone was so friendly as you walk around the resort. Hafiz welcomed us on reception and kindly organised a complimentary 'Santi coco' for our honeymoon, and we really enjoyed getting to know Arun, Klaus, Robi and Zugi at the beach - they looked after us very well and also stopped to chat and tell us more about themselves and the islands, which was really nice. The room, grounds and beach are all beautiful. We stayed in a hill-view room which was the cheapest option, but still easily the nicest room we've ever had. It was enormous, with a huge bed, comfy lounge chairs, beautiful outdoor bathroom, and thoughtful touches like insect repellent and aloe vera provided alongside the usual toiletries. The evening turndown service was lovely too. The grounds are gorgeous, with hammocks and cabanas amongst the palm trees, and the pool is beautiful too. We snorkelled with 2 big turtles on 2 of the days right at the hotel beach - there are masks and flippers you can borrow from the front desk which was so handy. We had breakfast on the beach every morning which was amazing (you can choose from a few different locations around the hotel), and we had lunch/dinner at both the beach restaurant and their new restaurant Ijo. All the food was excellent, especially the beach BBQ dinner and everything at Ijo, we were so impressed. We tried some of the BBQ seafood in the night markets in town thinking it would be more authentic, but the food at Pondok Santi was much better and surprisingly better value! We wish we could come back every year, it is absolute paradise and we had the best time. Thank you everyone at Pondok Santi!

We came here with the whole family to celebrate my brother’s birthday and never wanted to leave. The staff really made us feel at home and was always very helpful and friendly. This is for sure the best hotel in the Gili islands, with impeccable rooms and a gorgeous swimming pool. We really enjoyed our time at the beach club (one of the best beaches in Gili T and with lots of turtles). The food is more than delicious. Even if you’re not staying here, we recommend that you eat here. Breakfast, pizzas, and the new Ijo restaurant are delightful! Thanks for everything Pondok Santi team!

We have visited Pondok Santi in November. It was our second stay there after first one in 2015 Dec. Pondok Santi beautiful small villas and the crew is absolutely best we have ever experienced so far. Villas are so cozy and stylish. The crew and service level in general was exeptional. We enjoyed every moment we were there. Fast room service, excellent cuisine and drink selection. Pondok Santi is definitely the highlight of our 5 week trip to Indonesia so far. The way hotel manager Muzhar took care of us is a very memorable experience. Thank you!

Best place to stay on Gili T. Staff are very accommodating and so friendly. Food and drinks were great. The hotel organised a private boat for a snorkelling trip around the islands and was worth the money. Would recommend and I will definitely be back in the future.

Amazing service, great rooms, beautiful location, awesome dive sites. Gili T is so charming - you can get everywhere on bikes or horse carts. What a wonderful paradise. Breakfast on the beach was great and the restaurant was worth having dinner at. The only draw back of Gili is the food in general isn’t as good as other places in Bali. Would come back here over and over again.
