Aston Sunset Beach Resort - Gili Trawangan

One night stay, no WiFi service, brought me a portable modem without the recharging plug, no water available at checkout morning due to construction next door that I was facing. There was a lot of bass noise and construction noise during the day so if you wanted to catch a nap, forget it. On a positive note, rooms were clean, grounds were well kept, breakfast choices were plentiful, staff was friendly, a great location for the swings and hammocks at sunset.

Was good but felt like we was trusted with anything. you are given cards for everything like you are going to steal towels etc Wifi wasnt great

Great hotel on sunset side of the beach Great breakfast buffet

Pros: West side for sunset Free bicycle for hire Pool Film by the beach Cons: slow check-in Food was ok, not fantastic. Would go elsewhere for evening meal especially the steak!! Not major but something to note - poor lighting in bathroom

Pluses; great breakfast, lovely staff, close to the beach, fine swimming pool and good tv for the evenings. Room for improvement (excuse the pun!) the bathroom does smell pretty badly (been mentioned by a previous reviewer but I chose to ignore it). The biggest problem is that this hotel chain has the policy of far too many rooms for the facilities on offer meaning that if you want to have a poolside lounger you must be at the pool extremely early. Breakfast is the same although the hotel does warn you that if you turn up for breakfast after 9 you could be waiting for a table. Fair enough, but management ( I know you will read this) please invest a tad more money to buy enough paraplus ('sun umbrellas') for all of the loungers next to the beach as there is enough seating there but 7 paraplus is far from sufficient to say the least! (Insincere message from the management thanking me for my views to follow. Oh, and a sarcastic comment about not being able to control the weather! Power to the people!)
