Tanjungan felt like one of the few clean, rubbish (plastic) free areas on the island. Thank you Alain for such a welcoming spot. Unfortunately much of Gili Gede isn’t so pristine. It’s a shame. It made me never want to leave our little slice of paradise.

I knew immediately upon arrival that I was going to enjoy my stay at Tanjungan. From the greeting at the dock, to the welcome drink, to our lovely accommodations, everything was smooth, friendly and felt like coming home. Alain, Ita and the ladies were all so genuine and full of giggles. I truly felt like I was amongst old friends. The food was probably the best part of my stay, that cheese plate!!!! Just go- relax and enjoy!

It’s good to know that the rooms are not closed. There big open spaces where wildlife (mostly lizards) can come in. There a mosquito net for the mosquitoes, but you’ll have to accept the lizards. They don’t do any harm, but it might take some getting used to. Also because of the open spaces, there no AC. It cools down at night to a relatively comfortable temperature. Also there’s no warm shower and the shower itself isn’t much, but it does the job.

The hotel is located on a remote part of the island, so it was very quiet. Just what we needed. The rooms are cozy. You really get the island vibe here. I’d say the best thing about the hotel is the kitchen. The fresh/asian fusion menu is all you could want. Everything we had exceeded our expectations! Alain and his staff do an amazing job! The staff is very friendly and helpful. They make sure your stay is as wonderful as possible. The island itself wasn’t very special to us. There’s not much to do, but if your goal is to really relax, this place is what you need. We did go on a lovely boat trip to snorkel. That was beautiful. The coral and the sea life were better than other places I’ve been. I would definitely recommend staying here for a few days.

I thought there would be snorkeling directly out in front of the hotel and there was no water access. You could walk a path to a beach though. Food is a bit pricy but that is to expected since everything has to boated in. His cocktail selection is amazing

I thought the whole setting reminded of a TV show Gilligan's Island from my childhood. It was charming and covered all of my needs. Alian's staff are so sweet. Please note that there are alot of stairs and could be a challenge if you have any mobility issues

Bed was a bit fluffy to our taste

Beautiful spacious cabins, gorgeous views, well kept garden and restaurant with great food

It was lovely but not really ideal for a small child as there were many stairs with vertical drops off the side. We loved it anyway and just had to be careful with the child.

The location was beautiful. The rooms spacious and comfortable, and the food was very good, dinner and breakfast. The pool was very refreshing.

We had a bad start. No warm welcome or explanation how things work. We received a drink but there was no communication. So that felt a bit awkward. The rooms have no lock or key so do not leave your valuables there but ask the owner to put it in a safe. And I am sad to say, but our rooms were really very dirty. They do not clean well. No changing of the bins, a lot of dust which has been there for ages specially on the fans. The place is set up with great care but feels neglected after a while and that is a pity because it is a lovely accommodation overall.

Gili Gede is still one of the most natural and original islands. Without big resorts. But we saw that this can change quickly because they start building. Tanjungan is a quiet place with a terrific kitchen. People from other hotels come here to eat. The prices are good. There are a few houses with a fan and a small ventilator which are spacious with a big terras before the room where you can sit, drink some tea or coffee and relax. The pool is small but with a nice view. The atmosphere is very relaxed. Freedom is the buzz word. They offer snorkeling trips which are very much recommanded. You can also ask for a boat to bring you to another island for the beaches where you also can do some snorkeling. Gili Asahan is wonderful for this. We enjoyed our stay here very much. It is not a high fancy place so if you want that you should go somewhere else.

If you're a light sleeper I'd recommend ear plugs! 🐓

Alain and Ita have created a small slice of paradise on Gili Gede. The hospitality was amazing, from being met off the boat with big smiles to the incredible cooking (seriously recommend the grilled fish Indonesian style) the spices and seasoning were fantastic on all the dishes we had, hands down the best food we've had in Indonesia. The bungalows, terraces and pool are beautifully crafted. Thanks for a magical stay Alain!

Lovely spacious rooms with amazing poolside views. Charming and rustic. A wide variety of delicious fresh food and extremely friendly hosts. Squid rendang was exceptional, a favourite with all five of us!

The mosque is rather loud and it can get muggy in the evenings but hey, we inew that and to switch off, relax, refresh in the pool, snorkel around and chat to Alain whilst playing uno and feeling sand under foot is not a bad way to meet new friends!

Great views and a labour of love for the owners who have almost hand crafted the villa’s into the mountain itself. Alot of greenery and its all true about the food. We woke up hanging out for dinner and after a week we had tried most of it! Oh, and there is an outdoor eco gym a short walk away by the marina.

Stayed in July 2024

We had two rooms. The fan in one of these was not as powerful and the mosquito nets are thick so it was quite warm at night. This wasn’t a problem at all in the second room so luck of the drawer!

The staff are wonderful. The location is beautiful and offers a great opportunity to walk around the island see island life. Alain is keen to offer a fairly priced and high quality experience and be succeeds.

Very firm bed, but our daughter liked that, so each to their own 😀

Highly recommend Tanjungan Resort and restaurant on Gili Gede. Wonderful food, atmosphere and so much snorkeling arranged easily through our host. Turtles, coral, seahorses….

We liked everything

We liked most of the stuff on offer, we had a great view from the room also the pool was a real delight. Very happy with the place.

EVERYTHING!! The food was delicious-very special, locally sourced and fresh. The fish is a must. Alan and his team are beyond incredible. An intimate resort, with stunning views, all amongst trees and all so natural. All so tastefully done.

Stayed in July 2024

The shower and bathroom need a bit of maintenance.

Our stay was excellent. The food was delicious. The people were the best. You can feel the love and kindness in this accommodation. Allan is making a huge effort to keep his access to the sea as clean as possible and he collects rubbish that is washed out from the mainland. I like cooking and they even gave me a cooking class in their own kitchen. I had the most memorable stay so far and I would certainly stay there again.
