Piece of heaven on earth

We stayed on KO KO MO Gili Gede this summer and it was the BEST resort we stayed during our travel around in Bali. The staff, the management were delivering such a great service to make our stay as great as possible. We will come back to this very great place for sure. Every one should try a piece of KO KO MO

Best of Indonesia!

"Gili Gede was amazing and so was Ko Ko Mo Resort. Excellent room with excellent services. People was very very nice. Having dinner or breakfast by the beach was just breathtaking. Food was also delicious. Snorkeling just in front of the hotel was such an experience, full of colorful coral and blue starfishes. Best stop in Indonesia!"
