We went to Lombok and Gili Meno in April. I think the airfare was around
$70 return and then you have the additional costs of taxi to the harbour and boat transport to the Island. We loved Gili meno and stayed in a lovely villa on the beachfront. Beautiful beach, beautiful water and lovely people. What we did not like was getting there. The harbour is awful and next time we will go to Sengiggi and take boat transfer from there. The boat trip will be longer but at least it is a pleasant experience. If you do go to the harbour BEWARE. The taxi will drop you off at the entrance which is a fair hike to the water. Then you will be hassled to take a pony/cart to the water. Ensure they take you to the main ticket office not the ticket sellers on the way in. Porters are also a problem so watch who takes off with your bags. Once you arrrive at Gili Meno you will forget all this quickly but then it is the same on the return journey.
