What a beautiful place! If you are looking for a place to escape then this is for you. We went on fresh fish night at the restaurant and had an amazing fresh seafood meal on the beach, for a great price too! However the hotel is located on the opposite side of the port, (I didn’t want to support to horse rides) so it was quite a far walk to the hotel. They do have pick up from gili t but it’s an INSANE mark up price. Also the staff kept asking why we were only staying one night and why we’re not staying longer.. felt a little pushy

Absolute paradise
If you’re considering a trip to Gili Meno to stay here, then book it immediately. This place is incredible. I travelled alone (not many solo travellers) but everyone was so friendly and made me feel so welcome. There’s not much to do on Meno, and that’s the whole point. It’s so relaxing. The hotel is perfectly placed, I saw turtles everyday from snorkelling right outside the hotel. The food is excellent, I got an early check in which was brilliant and a late checkout too. Genuinely one of the best parts of my trip to Bali.

My wife and I came here for our 4th wedding anniversary. The quiet island and attentive staff made it a wonderful experience. We felt like we had the island to ourselves and when we wanted to explore, the staff quicky booked us speedboats to the other nearby islands. We also had the chance to go snorkeling in blissful aqua marine water to an underwater statue garden. For anyone wanting a unique and tranquil experience, we highly suggest the Mahamaya.

Amazing hotel and staff
Trip was amazing. Hotel is very nice, has wonderful staff, super clean and beautiful views. The sand is a little rough though- only down size. bring water shoes for more comfort. The sand has many little rocks in it but is worth still going. We used snorkel masks and was able to swim right from the resort, we saw amazing fish and even a turtle. Wi-Fi was very spotty so don't plan on getting an major work done while there. ( also no TV) Over all this place is beautiful and worth visiting. Staff were fantastic and super nice.

Tropical Paradise
This resort is tucked away on a very quiet stretch of white sand on the best snorkelling beach on the island. Mahamaya manages to combine barefoot simplicity with luxurious service, food and amenities. We stayed in a beachfront villa with wonderful views. Even when the resort was full, the beach front always seemed empty and there were always sunbeds, hammocks, tables and shaded beds available. We were always the only ones in the pool. There was always equipment available (kayaks, snorkelling, bikes) and staff available to assist with activities. The food here was wonderful. A combination of local and global food options are cooked beautifully and the breakfasts were spectacular. I love the sustainability of this resort. It is a plastic free resort and staff members encourage guests to take care when using precious natural resources.

Honeymoon stay
We were wowed by our experience at Mahamaya from the second we got to the entrance. The staff were excellent and offered us a nice cold drink. We went past the two pools right outside of our room and we were greeted by a nice welcoming honeymoon arrangement and cake. The staff were so attentive and told us what we could do in the resort (including free snorkel gear and rental of the hotel bikes to ride around the island) and on the island. The rooms were perfect and spotless. They are cleaned several times a day. We would go to eat dinner and come back and our room would be cleaned again for example. They provided fresh bottled water everyday and mosquito repellent. It was very easy to book a reservation in the restaurant. Everything was just done perfectly and we hope to stay there again very soon. We would like to thank Bastian and all the staff for their service.

Relaxing island getaway
We stayed in a pool room at Mahamaya for four nights. The room was spacious and comfortable and the outdoor shower a really different touch. The hotel provide free drinking water along with metal flasks for you to fill to take with you during the day, which is fantastic. It is located on the quieter side of the island, facing Gili T, but you don't really notice the noise from Gili T at night. We saw turtles every morning when snorkeling straight out in front of the hotel. The hotel provides free equipment for guests, as well as bikes so that you can ride around the island. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and breakfast was good - they offer waffles, pancakes and eggs cooked to order. We had dinner a couple of times at their beachfront restaurant, and the food was delicious and the sunsets amazing. We will be back!

Hidden Gem
The Mayhamaya hotel is a small quaint boutique hotel. the surroundings are clean and open. The colors of off white, brown and turquoise mix well with the environment. The staff is well trained and very helpful. I found the rooms very clean, and impressed by the ethos of conservation used in the resort. Each room has a water cooler. This eliminates the waste of plastic bottles. They give to a local children's organization with medical disabilities, and work hand in hand with the local education on the island. The food is tastefully presented, and seasoned with just the right amount of spices. Portions are more than generous. The chef offered vegan, gluten free and other allergy free options. This was a bonus for me. (I am gluten intolerant) The mixed drinks are done with imported spirits. No worries about the local spirits being used.

Nicest hotel on Gili Meno
We have just returned from 3 nights at Mahamaya and I would throughly recommend staying here. It's right on a beautiful part of the beach and the accommodation is luxurious compared to the rest of the island we saw. The 2 pools are great if you want a change from the beach. They have bikes so you can cycle around the island, which takes no time at all. The food is really lovely here too - plus happy hour cocktails! What made this by far the best place we stayed at on our 10 day trip to Lombok/Gilis were the staff. Ari and his team are absolutely amazing, so hospitable and genuinely friendly. Nothing was too much and really cared we had a good experience. We were actually very sad to leave them all! Would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone!!

Nice and cosy. Very quiet
It is a small island with limited resources so do not expect a large american fridge or large TV in your room! Our room was very nice with direct access to the pool which was great since there were not too many people. Very nice staff. Good breakfast given the limited resources of this small island.

Mahamaya - jewel of Gili Meno
We had a wonderful stay at Mahamaya. The staff was fantastic--they were super friendly and responsive to all of our needs. Our first room had a weak A/C and they quickly moved rooms for us so we were comfortable. The room was spacious, clean and the bathroom was awesome--especially the shower! The bar/restaurant service was top-notch. We intended to explore the island for meals, but ended up staying at the hotel for many meals because it was just so good. The beach in front of the hotel is fantastic. While the beach does have rocks/coral, we were just feet from great snorkeling. We saw snorkel tour boats anchor right in front of the hotel. We also rented kayaks and bikes from the hotel, both of which were easy to rent and fantastic to use to explore the island. We loved staying on the opposite side of the island from the pier -- we had a great view of Gili T. The staff was extremely helpful in arranging our transport back to Lombok. We had SUCH a great time and hope to be back to visit soon!

Wonderful people
I have been lucky enough to do a fair bit of traveling, and can honestly say that I have never stayed in any hotel where the staff was so friendly and accommodating. By the time my family left after a week's stay, we felt as though we were saying goodbye to friends. So while Gili Meno is wonderful and the property is lovely, I endorse the Mahamaya most strongly for its warm and genuine people.

So close to the beach, though not for swimming due to extensive coral. Wonderful staff who could not do enough for the guests. No TV or music facilities in rooms or hotel Thought little extras like toiletries should have been supplied. Excellent food & presentation but expensive.

Perfect hotel on the perfect island!
Perfect location for a week of tranquillity. The staff could not do enough to help us, and the weather was amazing (June - 31/32c) We stayed in "SWEET 8" which was next to the gym and the table tennis table. The 2 pools were great to cool off after an afternoon of sunbathing, and we used the bikes that the hotel laid on to explore the island. I'd recommend exploring as much as possible, and having dinner at other local establishments (food at MahaMaya was great, but quite high price compared to other places). The hotel were also able to arrange a pick up from Gili T on arrival, and a speedboat to take us to Lombok when we left, followed by a private car to take us to our next hotel. I'd recommend the snorkelling trip that the hotel can organise, as it allowed you to go out to well known spots, and swim with turtles etc.

Beautiful hotel, perfect side of the island!!!
We had been in Indonesia for a week before we came to gili meno and stayed at mahamaya. It was the best sleep we've had by far. It was quiet, clean, perfect side of the island, amazingly helpful and friendly staff, very local food, good food at mahamaya itself. Cold free bottled water from our room. I can't praise it enough. We felt like royalty the whole stay. There was also enough to do on the island for us, snorkeling, walking etc but it was mainly time to relax and enjoy the sunsets.

My partner and I went on a week's holiday to Bali and decided to spend 2 x nights on Gili Meno while we were there. We were dropped off by boat right outside the resort. The setting is magnigicent - white sand with an outdoor dining area on the beachfront looking out to clear aqua water. My partner proposed to me on the beach on our second morning at the resort and the day couldn't have been more perfect. We ended the day with dinner and champagne watching the sunset over Gili T (the largest Gili island). The staff were friendly and nothing was too much to ask. The service was excellent. The two pools with the pool bar in between was an extra bonus. The perfect place to relax.

Beautiful, romantic hotel with excellent service
A lovely hotel right on the beach with lovely well equipped spacious rooms. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, the food is great and the setting is wonderfully romantic. The place has a luxurious feel but also tries to be respectful of the environmental impact. The pool is small but adequate given the beach is right on your door step and although its a great spot for couples it can easily cater to families. I say go for it and enjoy!
