We are staying at Samba villa's in July, have a look at that. a word of warning though, it's high season and booking something to your liking might be getting thin on the ground. Many options if you look up GT on tripadvisor....i have noticed pretty steep price rises though, for example my accom was/is $130usd a night, but now advetised at $160usd.
we are going with Gili Cat as they have the biggest boat, dock at the
small jetty ( others on the beach..i believe) and leave from Padang Bai and it takes half the time to cross to GT, less time on the water the better, especially for the missus ;o) and it leaves mid morning. We are flying back, which means a long drive to the airport in lombok, but problably a more comfy ride than in a mini bus from PB to Legian..and hopefully a shorted time. plus we get a sneak peek at lombok for future travels...
