The place is a bit outside of all the bars and restaurants. If you prefer to be in the middle of it you need to walk 20 min to the centre, take a bike or horse car. We enjoyed that Karma Kayak is more quiet. The beach is really nice although due to the corals it is a bit difficult... More

Upon arrival we were brought to this relax and quiet and beatiful spot on Gili Trawangan. Very friendly personnel as well the people running the place (Dutch). Super snorkelling starting 300 meters towards the centre until you arrive in front of Karma Kayak ! All the organized snorkel trips stop here .. So big Advantage to have this for Free... More

The beach front restaurant is idyllic and is perfect for all meals. The free breakfast is delicious and consists... More

Fantastic beach front resort with good snorkeling right on the door step. Rooms were basic but comfortable. Food at Karma Kayak was brilliant. It's the sort of place where you can sit back and relax without leaving for days.

Situated on the north side away from the crowd, about 25 mins by horse cart. Upon opening the room door, we were shocked to see so many mosquitoes flying around and on the walls. Owner helped by getting a can of mosquitoe repellent to spray at them. Room was basic with no TV or telephone, bathroom shower had low water... More

Beautiful location. Quiet side away from "the main strip". Direct access to the best snorkeling on the island. *partiers beware* a long walk from town, or a Rp60,000 horse buggy. Noel and the other staff are awesome. Noel creats the perfect fun & relaxing atmosphere with music and was very helpful & accommodating. Great set up to eat and lounge... More
