Had an amazing short stay on gilli gede at the secret island resort. The hospital was second to none and the snorkelling was first class. The bungalows built on the reef are spectacular and great to chill out in with amazing views.

If you are looking for a get away that is unique with plenty to do or simply a place to kick back and relax - this place is worth investigating. Peter, the owner, was accommodating, a great conversationalist and an excellent host.

I went on a surfing expedition with my 2 sons. The resorts had to boats that took my sons out to the best surfing ever had in the whole lives. And they live on Maui.

I woke up my first morning on the island to sit on the end of the Jetty right outside my room... when I looked down I found Nemo!! There was an abundance of tropical fish swimming under the lovely, rustic wooden jetty room. The water was clear and inviting. The morning brought fishermen in traditional boats attending to their morning... More

Hello, I believe the man who wrote this review is a Musician that I jammed with. He is a good player, but I guess not a happy camper, at least not this trip. We must say we are sorry that we can not control the speed of the Indonesian Ferry system. They are to often late, but for $4 a... More

We booked here for 5 days and 3 days fishing off Banko Banko in March 2011. On paper and on its website, the place looks like a real paradise, safe, run by an American and with a big game fishing boat. Unfortunately it fooled us..... Reality is somewhat different: You will be asked to pay up front (there is a... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Secret Island Resort is a Eco friendly small resort with a very good small beach in front. We are slowly rising up to a 3 star quality hotel in a 5 star location. There are now 7 units with solar hot water and now there are 2 'Bungalows over the reef' available. These are stable units attached to a dock within easy walking distance to the Restaurant and lounge. These two bungalows over the water are the only ones in either Lombok or Bali. The snorkeling is great nearby and the fishing is still good to. SIR operates a 9 meter sport fishing boat called 'Scorpio' that is very good for touring the 12 South west gilis and snorkeling to. ... more   less
