My wife and I were on an extended road trip and Meno was our first stop. We were looking for a budget accommodation and a blog my wife followed reccommended Sari Laut. This isn’t The Four Seasons so don’t expect it. We came in knowing that. We weren’t looking for a view, a pool, a high thread count sheet or world class breakfast. We just wanted be away from the crowd with wifi, a place to kick up our feet and have the opportunity to meet the locals. We ticked those off. Sari Laut is about a 20 minute walk with luggage/bags from the main harbor towards the West side of the island passing the local neighborhoods. It is near the mosque but we weren’t bothered at all by the morning prayer calls. The room was better than expected especially with the A/C and Fan combo. Wifi was spotty but got the job done. Bed was comfortable especially after the long walks around the island. Bathroom is large with a Western toilet. Water from the shower is in between salt and freshwater but the sink seem to be fully fresh. Checking in and needing anything requires going to the store or warung next door. Kak Deby took care of us from breakfast to questions. Anything else Bang Ayap, who owns the homestay, helped us out. On that note Bang Ayap works at the Meno ticketing office so he was amazing sharing his knowledge of the island and getting around the Gilis. Overall we had a pleasant stay in Meno at Sari Laut and if you’re looking for a budget situation, try this out.
