Positioned as a mid-range property, this hotel offers a quiet tropical atmosphere, stylish villas, and impressive service at an affordable price.
During the stay, the hotel stood out for its relaxing setting, poolside villas, and friendly staff.
First Impressions
On arrival, guests are welcomed into an open-plan reception and dining area overlooking the swimming pool. This instantly gives the property a laid-back island vibe and creates a strong first impression.
The check-in process included welcome drinks while luggage was taken to the room, helping create a premium feel from the moment of arrival.
Pool Area
The swimming pool is the main feature of Gili Meno Escape and one of the standout reasons to stay here.
Surrounded by tropical landscaping, long grass, frangipani trees, and lush greenery, the pool area feels private, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing after exploring the island.
One of the biggest positives was how quiet the property felt, often seeming almost empty, making it ideal for travellers wanting peace and privacy.
Service & Staff
Service was one of the strongest aspects of the hotel.
The staff were fantastic throughout the stay. Small touches such as carrying bags to the room, providing welcome drinks, helping with breakfast, and assisting guests during the day created a genuinely high-end experience.
Although officially rated as a three-star hotel, the level of service felt closer to five-star standards.
Room Review
The room itself was stylish and well-designed with a tropical beach theme.

The darker interior helped keep the room cool during the hot weather, while the wood finishes gave the villa a premium look.
The only criticism was that the air conditioning could have been stronger during very hot days.
Breakfast was included in the room rate and served à la carte rather than buffet style.
Final Verdict
Gili Meno Escape is an excellent choice for travellers wanting a quiet, relaxing stay on Gili Meno.
If you value peace, a beautiful pool, helpful staff, and a stylish room, this hotel is one of the best value stays on the island.
