The rooms are cosy, and just sitting on the deck in front at night and enjoying the view of the illuminated pool and garden is just beautiful. It's private and peaceful, and out to the left, you walk 100 meters, and that point is perfect for sunsets 🥰 The staff is friendly, and breakfast is a treat

I have been here twice (2019 and 2023), and I can 100% say that there is nothing about this place I DONT like

We had a nicely appointed room that was serviced every day, it also had a great outdoor area with a large shaded daybed - ideally for lounging, a fridge and a clothes dryer. The pool and grounds were lovely and everywhere was kept spotlessly clean. There were lots of thoughtful touches in the bathroom (an aftersun face mask and a hair treatment along with all the usual bits and pieces. The breakfast was delicious with a great choice, all freshly prepared. We loved the location, only a minute from the beach but up a side road to keep things quiet and private.

Nothing, it was all excellent.

Dolcemare is a family run facility. We enjoyed that the resort was located in a quiet part of the island but still centrally located. There is a mosque on the island as it is predominantly Muslim community and you can hear the call to prayer but it is something you must bear in mind when traveling and respect other religions. Since I am a light sleeper I did hear it in the morning, however it didn’t bother me. My partner never even stirred. Plus the resort provides guests with earplugs should they wish to use them. They also have a restaurant on the premises and we enjoyed the free breakfast. It is not a buffet breakfast but you have plenty of options to choose from and everything is freshly made. Since I am sensitive to gluten I especially enjoyed that they provide a gluten-free option which is not widely available in Indonesia. We also had dinner at the restaurant and the portions were delicious and generous. All in all, the staff was friendly and the island was a welcome change to the hustle and bustle of Bali. Gili Air and Dolcemare make you feel welcome and let you enjoy the chill vibes of what we imagined Bali might’ve been a couple of decades ago. 10/10 can’t wait to return!

The owners of this small resort and incredible gem on Gili Air are so friendly and clearly understand what makes a place special. From the moment we arrived we were welcome and cared for like family. The staff are truly exceptional and took such special care of my family and I. Room was comfortable and cool with great lighting and a brilliant bed. Super clean and with small touches that show the generosity and warmth of the family who own it. The food was absolutely delicious and was a highlight of our stay.

We stayed over Christmas and New Years and their was a bit more party action then we anticipated on the island… sometimes the music could be heard from the bars on the beach front but this wouldn’t detour me from booking again as Dolce Mare Resort is truly a one of a kind paradise and a wonderfully relaxing retreat we feel grateful to have had the pleasure to experience.

I loved my stay at the resort. It's a small boutique place with about five bungalows. The bungalows have a little patio which was nice. What really set it apart was the hospitality of the staff. They asked about my day every single day and directed me to a doctor when I was not feeling well. They also offered to make me aloe Vera juice for my sunburn. I had great chats with them and was looking forward to going 'home' every day. The Italian restaurant in the hotel is also nice. I loved the fresh fruits for breakfast. dolcemare is close to the beach path and there are some great beach bars within 4_5 min walking distance where you can watch the sunset.

Everything was great.

Perfect stay in this small boutique hotel with so much love decorated. The details show such an unique taste that we haven’t found in any other hotel in Asia. Everything was so good, well maintained, clean. The staff was just amazing. The breakfast was outstanding with so many options (each one better than the previous one, we could not decide which one was the best), best coffee in the island. We stayed with our two kids (2 year and 10 months) and they just loved the place and the staff, always making us feel like at home. If some day we come back to Gili Air this will be, for sure, our choice.

The access road from the beach to the hotel is full of water each time it rains, maybe it would be the chance to contribute to improve it a little bit.

My wife and I loved everything about this boutique resort. Staff were amazing!

Ed was a little firm. Very common for Asia. This is very minor and would not hesitate to stay again.

Dolcemare is the perfect little Oasis away from the main Gili Air Beach strip. A lovely small complex that is maintained perfectly with staff who are extremely attentive. The rooms are well equipped, clean and have a beautiful verandah, complete with daybed, overlooking the pool. The breakfast were fresh and delicious with the best coffee on the island... Thanks Aji! Very sad we didn't get to try the restaurant in the evening as we were on the island for a wedding and there were other plans made. We did get to have lunch at Mama Pizza though which was spectacular! We will definitely stay again next time we are in Gili Air!

The place is absolutely hidden gem on island where you wouldny expect it all..it is very private, comfortable and quiet with wonderfull staff meeting all european standards as owners are most lovely family that runs also restaurant on beach with the best italian pizza ( not indonesian type of italian:-)), breakfast has wide choice of local and fantastic italian food, all absolutely fresh! If you chose to stay for dinner this lovely small restaurant is a great chice for fine dinning having real fresh daily catch that owner himself does sustainably hunting as a freediver! That was impressing! His lovely wife is a manager and chef that takes care of most amazing food experience sou can imagine!Absolutely recommended in all ways!thank you so much for the experience🙏

We put on some weight as the food was so delicious:-)

Beautiful hotel, only a few rooms but makes it feel really cosy and intimate. Each bungalow is very traditional and has its own patio which is lovely and the pool is great. The breakfast is exceptional. The standout for us was the attentiveness and kindness of the staff, they couldn’t do enough for us and where always on hand to help with any queries or assist us with hiring bicycles or arranging massages (the hotel has a massage hut near the pool which is a lovely experience, we got a lovely couples massage). Lots of nice sunset places and resteraunts within a 10 min walk of the hotel.

Hotel is located down a dirt track road off the main road which can get muddy when it rains, this isn’t the hotels fault but just something to bear in mind. Location is about 6 minutes in horse and cart from the harbour, again just bear this in mind (staff sorted out return journey no issues with that just getting there was a bit harder)
