Best location”
The hotel is close to beautiful clear beach with sunbeds for hotel guests for free. It is close to all restaurants and pubs, but far enough from noise. Breakfast is delicious and big portion. Staff very polite and helpful, especially manager. Room spaceous and super clean. We highly recommend this accommodation.

good option in Gili, but please read on...”
I think this is the second best hotel in the island. Even though I found a scorpion in my bedroom. So please go on reading, because giving a score to a hotel in Gili is not a simple matter. Swimming with colored fish and turtles in Gili was one of the highlights of our Indonesian trip. Really incredible. But there's a price to pay: you have to stay in Gili islands, and they are not a good fit for an urbanite like myself. The Vamana hotel is relatively modern and clean, and the staff is nice and helpful (I think there are at least 15 people working there, and the hotel has 15 rooms). Looking from the outside, I would say that Vamana is definitely one of the top 5 hotels of Gili T. The only one that is clearly better is the Aston Sunset Hotel, which is isolated on the other side of the island. Vamana is in an absolutely perfect location: just close enough that you can walk anywhere you want to go, but on the edge of town so it's relatively quiet and you can actually go to the beach just in front of the hotel without having to share it with a trillion boats. Plus, this particular beach is one of the best places for snorkeling with fish and turtles: just grab your mask&finn and go into the water! Now, the scorpion issue... It was black, and about 6-8cm long. I don't have pictures because I has busy trying not to cry like a little girl while the staff came to kill it. Scary as hell. We cut our stay by one night because of this: we were just not resting as we should. But this is not an issue with Vamana hotel, it's an issue with the island itself. What you'll find behind all the hotels (even the Aston Sunset) is just jungle. Things live there, and they wander. Episodes such as the one we had must happen once a month in the better hotels, once a week in the not-so-great ones (they told us Vamana does a monthly anti-pest spray, which was coming the week after we left; maybe it should happen once every two weeks, but others may not even be doing any).

Relaxed stay at Gili Trawangan”
We booked two nights at the Vamana Resort but due to a double booking our room was already occupied when we arrived. The hotel boss arranged our stay for the first night at the neighbouring hotel Villa Almarik. We also received a free dinner due to the inconvenience. Since the other hotel was only 50m away from Vamana, this was no problem at all. Our room at Vamana was very nice and clean. The pool area was cozy and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic. It is a quiet area, about 10 or 15 minutes walk away from the village center and the noisy part of the island. The breakfast is served in the hotel's restaurant located at the beach. We can highly recommend this hotel. It is probably the best one on Gili Trawangan.

Would recommend to anyone!”
With only 2 nights in Gili T, we wanted a nice place to stay. Vamana ticked all the boxes and didn't disappoint. The rooms were lovely and to a high standard. The staff are potentially the best part of the place, with all going out of their way to help and make sure you're alright (both in the hotel and on the beach). The food is good, serving a nice breakfast. Location is good, being just out of the party places of Trawangan, but only a few minutes walk away. I would recommend Vamana to both family and friends and will happily stay with them again if the opportunity arises! Thankyou

Unforgettable ”
Our stay was lovely! No complaints whatsoever. The cheeky staff were fun and friendly, making us feel very welcome. The breakfast menu, although not elaborate, was very tasty accompanied by a million dollar view. This resort looked new and clean in comparison to some others we passed by, in our opinion we picked perfectly. It is located at the quiet end of the party strip, just a few minutes walk to the nightlife and beach bars, or a quiet desolate beach in the other direction. Snorkelling out the front of our hotel was a highlight of the trip. There are loads of day trips available although we chose to do out own thing. Next time will definitely organise either snorkelling or diving trip, people we met there highly recommended them. The gilis are are great place to visit. Don't expect anything to fancy but the simple beauty of the place and the friendly lad back locals make it such a great place to visit. We felt we choose so well with the Vamana in its strategic location which makes for a perfect spot on the beach to watch the colourful sunsets and lounge around during the day. A special thanks to Jacki and boys, and a big shout out to Wobi down at the blue marlin ;)

Great hotel, will come back!”
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Vamana Resort. The staff were an exceptional help, especially in terms of providing recommendations for activities/ tour companies to go through. The rooms were clean and remained at a high standard throughout. The location of the hotel is exceptional and I preferred to stay slightly away from the main strip, however we were still within walking distance to the harbour and could return there easily throughout the day.

Great Option in Gili Trawangan ”
I booked VAMANA purely based on fellow traveller reviews. A decent loc, good rooms ( well managed space to dry out beach clothes as also separate bath and toilet). Would like hotel to provide room slippers . Very friendly staff to incl Andy, zaki , Putra, Tawadi.. Break fast for vegetarians can hv more options ...though the staff did cater for our vegetarian needs very well. Nice space along beach for meals.. Great for sun and moon rise....thats a big plus.. Our views from beach sit out were fabulous. I would recommend it for sure. Well done Vamana

Very enjoyable.”
Got checked in to our room nice and quickly. The rooms are amazing. Spacious, clean, and good quality. Quite delightful after our stay at our previous accom. The air con is probably not as powerful as some other hotels/resorts but it did enough to make the room cool enough. The pool was extremely refreshing and clean, however algae is starting to form around the edges, and an abundance of floor tiles were missing. The restaurant was nice and set out on the beach front, however I probably wouldn't recommend eating there. Nice enough for a Bintang, however we ordered some Nacho's which were below average. In saying that we didn't try anything else. Vamana is a short walk to the main area of Gili T (approx 10 minutes). The bed was very comfortable. Wifi was decent but had some troubles initially connecting. Required re-entering the password after not being on for a while. Breakfast was basic but had some decent options including bacon & eggs, pancakes, and then buffet options of toast/cereal/croissants etc. Would recommend Vamana if you can get it for a decent price. Max $90 a night.

Peaceful and thorough”
Very pleasant. The front desk manager knew English and was very affable. The resort is right on the beach which is perfect. It is a little north of all the nightlife and busy areas. But if you're looking for a quiet place and a pleasant stay, this is it! Being more north also means a little bit of a walk from the public boat harbor area on Gili Trawangan. Be prepared to walk with your luggage for 10 mins from the harbor to the resort. Otherwise you could also use a horse cart. The resort is also closer to the better snorkeling areas in the north of the island. The hotel had bike rentals for all day, good food at their restaurant, clean beach towels, and a nice clean pool. The Wifi is a little slow but its the best you can expect on an island. Overall a great stay. I would definitely recommend this and come again!

Quiet and right on the beach”
We liked Vamana - it's fairly north on the eastern shore of Gili T, so away from the heart of backpacker country, but a very short walk (10 min) to the center of the action. It has its own beach and you can snorkel right off the beach, where we saw turtles - very cool. The staff was friendly. The room itself is fine - the TV has just 3 English channels and the shower was often out of hot water, but given the heat that was fine. Otherwise it was good value and we were happy there.

Great Spot”
Our stay was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and do a great job. The hotel is located out of the main area in Trawangan which is awesome because it is quiet but only a 10 minute walk in to the scene. The beach is nice, as there is snorkeling right out front of the hotel. The rooms are very reasonably priced and the pool is great. We would definitely stay here again.

Good value for money”
The resort pool was clean and received plenty of sunshine. The rooms were clean and in good condition. The only con is that there is no natural light, which isn't a huge issue as we found ourselves out exploring and swimming most of the time, however if you want to hang your wet clothes out to dry, it takes a while as the room and entryway are fully shaded. The hotel staff were all very friendly and the breakfast (served at the café on the beach) provided good options of Western and Indonesian options. Eating breakfast overlooking the beach was a nice way to start the day. Overall, this hotel was good value for money and provided everything you need for a comfortable stay on Gili T.

nice and modern hotel”
pretty new hotel for Gili standard, very nice design and good value for money. bfast could be a bit more variety and i was missing sunbeds at the pool but since the beach is 20seconds away that's not a big problem. Very friendly stuff as well, would definitely recommend bc many other places on the island are already a bit rundown...

Great stay, just what I expected”
This was a very pleasant stay. The hotel is on the northern part of the east coast of the island - close enough to all the restaurants and bars by the beach, but far enough from the crowds. It was a small and cozy hotel with a boutique feel. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Good breakfast and nice pool. Right next to the beach, so perfect for chilling. Great value for money, and would highly recommend for a nice place to stay at a decent price.
