Zipp Bar Restaurant & Bungalows

We stayed at Zipp for 4 nights and really enjoyed our stay. Keep in mind this is budget style accommodation, so no TV or room safe, but the bed was comfortable, the aircon good, the shower hot and the included breakfast very good. The highlight for us was the restaurant - both staff and food. The seafood was absolutely fresh and delicious, and a great salad bar included if ordering from the bbq menu. Cocktails were delicious and cheap. We ate almost every meal at Zipp and the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive, and sitting on the beach was beautiful. There was good snorkelling and swimming in front of the hotel. Thanks to Ozzy and his staff for helping us have a great holiday. We decided to stay on another 4 nights on the island but unfortunately all rooms at Zipp were full so we moved hotels. We will definitely be back to Zipp.

Food was tasty however what we ordered wasn’t what was delivered. Ordered a bbq prawn skewer after speaking to the girl behind the displayed food. Was shown a skewer with 6 prawns and told by the employee it had 6 prawns. When our meal was delivered to the table it only 3 prawns. When I questioned was told the prawns on my skewer were bigger which is why only 3. I couldn’t tell the difference in size between what I got and what was on display that we were shown so feel cheated. I wouldn’t have ordered this had I have known it only had 3 prawns on it. No offer to remedy the issue. The waiter was lovely and very apologetic about it even though it wasn’t his fault. I felt bad for him because it appeared he felt somehow responsible when he had nothing g to do with the transaction. Here in Gili Air for 5 nights and won’t be back.
