Ponte Villas Reviews

Villa is situated not far away from the ferry terminal. About 10-15mins walk. It would be good if hotel can provide free bicycle rental service instead of charging because there is a distance to walk in from the main pavement to the villa. Service staff were very friendly and efficient. Villa itself is pretty basic, room size is abit small but the shower room is huge and pretty. The swimming pool in the middle of the villas looks gorgeous in day and at night.

Great location within 10 minutes walk from the restaurants, friendly helpful staff! Would definitely recommend!

One of the best hotek on the island

Gili Fonte was the most enjoyable place during my trip to Bali. They are so friendly and the breakfast is delicious.

cool room, pool along all the houses, quiet, the sounds of all the parties can’t be heard. Moreover, the hotel is not very far from the main fun, 5 minutes by bike

The weather is nice and the inside of the hotel is peaceful and beautiful. If I come next time, I'll go to the suite this time. It's the best value for money.

It was cute like a fairy tale, so it was really pretty..!! Haha The pool is right in front, the room is perfectly clean, and I felt that it was well-maintained,, I recommend it if you want a cozy atmosphere.

Excellent location 1km from the main port! The place is in front of a surf point with rental boards! Proposal super in line with the cost benefit! Service from the staff is impeccable! All very kind and courteous! The super nice room in front of the pool! We are Brazilian and the menu has cheese bread, cheese pastry and other Brazilian delicacies! The coolest thing was that we checked out and forgot a gold bracelet and a necklace in the hotel safe and the employee very kindly went to the main port to look for us to deliver to us before our boat left! I thought this was a beautiful dignity and honesty! I highly recommend

Very new hotel, there is a small public yard around the swimming pool, very chill, I like T Island very much, it is the most convenient one in the Gili Islands!

Simple but very stylish rooms / villas around a shared pool set back from beach. Boutique hotel vibe.. Bikes available to rent. Fantastic staff. Wonderful breakfast included,.. Eggs Benedict etc. 10 min cycle from main port / party area on east coast or sunset beach on west coast. Can’t fault it.

1. No hot water shower- We booked a private villa which has 2 bedrooms, we are a family of 4. No hot water on day 2 when we returned tired from an entire day at the beach. They put on the heater and we had to wait 45 mins before the water turned hot. We thought this was a one off and shrugged it off, but guess what? On our day of departure (we stayed for 4 days) we had to rush to leave for our ferry and lo and behold no hot water in the shower again!! This time I called the manager and complained! He was polite but I realize they save money by using the heater intermittently and the morning shift guy did not realize we were checking out early. We were told to walk 50 meters to the other part of the hotel to take a shower!! 2. Bad location - Another big con is that the rooms are quite a walk from the entrance at the street. This could be an issue if you are tired late in the evening or if you have young kids or elders. We saw many hotels which are closer, best to choose something away from the centre i.e. the night market but also not too far away in the north of the island. Look for locations 5-10 mins walk from the market in the direction towards pink coco Lounge bar. If you just a couple and wanna relax the northern end near turtle beach would be ideal but it’s a good 20 mins cycle ride to the center. 3. 100% advance payment on check in! They are the only villa in Indonesia (we are from Singapore and travel often to Bali) that takes the entire payment in advance! I was quite surprised but just agreed as we had no choice, so now there is no question of any adjustment in payment for the bad service due to the 100% advance payment! The staff is very polite and nice but the management is trying to save money thats all. We paid 350 usd per night for this villa and both wife and me were very, very disappointed. I would avoid this tourist trap for sure, but Gili is beautiful and the beaches and people are lovely.

Ponte villas is the perfect location - within walking/cycling distance of everything you’d want in Gili T but far enough away to have a quiet, peaceful and relaxing stay. The staff are all awesome and create such a good atmosphere. The managers were always helpful and Lalu (Antonio) kept us laughing throughout and was always very attentive! The BBQ is delicious (highly recommend). I recommended that the hotel sell the marinade as it’s that good. The staff went above and beyond to give me some to take home! The food is great and some of the best value for money that we’ve had in Bali, both in terms of quality and portions. We couldn’t fault our stay and loved every second. Highly recommend. Thank you from Rhys and Emma!

Amazing hotel, super staff and great location, Ponte Villas is the perfect place to kick back and relax on Gili T. Located close (but not too close) to the port, Ponte Villas is a short walk or horse’n’cart away from the action, but is an oasis of calm. Rooms in the detached bungalows are spacious and the bathrooms are well stocked with a range of products. It has beautiful pool, a tasty restaurant and access to a spa, beach, bike rentals and everything a tourist needs. Definitely would recommend!

from being picked up at the harbor by a hotel representative. Placed on a horse drawn carriage and brought to the beautiful grounds. This spot is away enough from the Big party vibe .. yet close enough to walk or cycle to the party.. The staff is warm and very helpful. The complimentary breakfast has many choices and everything is fresh and delicious.. the rooms are little Villas not connected to each other and the room has a queen sized bed ..couch .. plenty of shelves and hanging closets. Complimentary robe and slippers for your stay. Everyday 2 complimentary bottles of water are delivered to your room too. Also the staff places fresh flower petals in your room each day. smells soooooo lovely.. The bathroom is part open roof plan which is amazing as you shower under the sky,yet nobody can look in😉 their is nice long pool right when you walk outside,two cushion seats on your own patio and your own cushion rope swing. The hotel offers a spa with massages at a reasonable price.. I had the 60 minute Balinese style.. my only glitch there was . The girl just couldn’t apply the pressure I wanted.. yet it was very clean and the masseuse was very sweet.. you can also rent a bicycle at a very low rate too… The city doesn’t have motored vehicles of only kind.. bicycles and horse drAwn carriages… Ponte Villas also has there own space directly across from them on the beach with tables to dine at and chairs to kick back and soak up the sun and the jump into the crystal blue warm water… I highly recommend this place !! Price,cleanliness,staff,comfort of rooms , interior design of room and outdoor architecture ,generous complimentary breakfast make this gem in Gili a must to vacation at~~ hard leaving the spot…. a piece of paradise
