was Gili T.
Just got back home today and without a doubt loved this place above all this time around.
Stayed at the ko-ko-mo and could not fault it. The staff helped make this an awesome experience with their very genuine care and interest in our well-being (my husband was a little unwell whilst there).
We took our own snorkelling gear,you can hire it whilst there though(ended up leaving it with a couple of our fav.waiters) and travelled to Alam Gilli (via cidomo) and snorkelled from there and also outside the hotel ko-ko-mo itself.
A word of warning though take some thongs or old sneakers to wade out to the snorkelling spot as the coral is too harsh to walk on then we put them in a net bag and swam with that.
Absolutely awesome experience swam with turtles and was like a vast aquarium.
We are in your age bracket and generally don't eat at the hotels restaurant when we stay somewhere choosing to go further afield apart from breakfast but couldn't drag ourselves away from the menu at this hotel!
Check out their website.
Just can't praise this place enough!
Cheers!
