Villa Almarik, Gili Trawangan, Indonesia

The place was great, the accommodation was great, the staff at Villa Almarik were great, the guys at Gangga divers were great, the diving was very good. I must admit one of the best run and friendliest places I have ever stayed and I have been to a good many places on holiday around the world. It is very much a backpackers resort basic but a great atmosphere and value for money. From what I was told March/April is the best time to go just on the end of their wet season and before peak season when it is rammed.
