Flamingo

I came across this boutique property in Gili Trawangan and loved the design, cozy-feel and its interiors (which are unique to each room). Their location is also brilliant, within walking distance to the main strip, and even shorter on a bicycle. However, what completely sold me on my stay here were the reviews regarding the excellent service. While I initially made a booking for 1 night, I ended up staying 7 nights only and only because of the staff. They surpassed all expectations and set the bar so high. Hendra, Febri, Yakub and everyone else are the biggest assets to the Flamingo Hotel and my stay would have been incomplete without all of them. They are always happy to interact with you and always go the extra mile, regardless of what it takes. For example, Febri so kindly helped take my luggage to the harbour as a kind gesture- not many hotels would do that! They would also create the most beautiful towel art- it was literally like artwork. I also had the pleasure of personally interacting with Hendra, Febri and Yakub because they would always be around to assist you and I would sometimes work in their cafe/lobby, so I got to spend time with them and hear their amazing stories, I learnt a lot about local culture and I don’t think I would have had that elsewhere. I will truly miss them, but they are my friends now and I can’t wait to be back. If you’re in Gili T and are looking for a place to stay, you can’t miss out on the Flamingo. It is truly a class apart!

Great hotel! Really enjoyed our stay at Flamingo Hotel. Super clean, lovely pool area and rooms, great breakfast and super useful main host (thank you)! You can hire bikes and book snorkel tours through hotel also. Would highlight that is a bit out of the way of the main strip (not too far, but about 15 min walk from centre) but very doable.
