During the Spring Festival, my family of 6 came to Gili M Island and stayed at Kurakura. I highly recommend staying there. It was really better than I expected. Although the hotel is not a five-star hotel, the room is clean and big. Although it was the rainy season, we stayed for 5 days. Although it was cloudy, we encountered a light rain that lasted for an hour. It rained heavily at night and did not affect the fun at all. We booked a connecting room with our 2 children. There are actually 2 large beds and 2 single beds, a total of 3 rooms. There is also a small swimming pool. The island is very quiet, and I met only one Chinese person within 5 days of the Spring Festival. When you go out, turn right and there is an ATM machine where you can withdraw cash with UnionPay. Basically, only cash can be used on the island, and cards cannot be swiped. It was really unexpected. The hotel is located at the M Island Pier, just 1 minute away from the boat. You can rent bicycles to get around the island. Walking past the pier on the left is a good snorkeling area with huge corals, rich colors, many turtles, and huge fish. Turn right and walk for a few minutes to reach the Little Turtle Base. Cross to the opposite side of the island, ride a bike for 5 minutes, and then you will see the most famous underwater statue in the sea. There are also many turtles and lionfish here. The hotel staff are very welcoming. I love it here. At the door is the hotel restaurant, facing the sea.
The slow life on the island is great, perfect for a Spring Festival trip.
