first time to Bali, Im not so sure that I would recommend they go to Gili T, yes it is beautiful but dont expect the prices of things to be the same as in bali, everything is about double the price ie. water because, of course, they have to bring everything to the island....no problem, but what i DO consider really painful is the electricity that is non existent almost every day.

Some problem ongoing with the generator for the island, basically its too small and the power going off affects just about all the smaller places to stay as well as some of the bigger ones, sometimes the generators they have simply cant take the constant work!!!

It is hot, bloody hot, but the ocean is gorgeous and seriously life cant get much better than being on one of the gilli's BUT you have to remember that to get around you have to walk everywhere or take the horse and buggies that are available as there are no motorbikes (or dogs) allowed on the island and rightly so, it would be awful!!!

And please im not saying your parents arent going to cope well with all of this, BUT it is hot!!! hahaha, sorry to keep saying that and personally, i feel, unless you stay at the bigger places, the smaller ones are definitely for backpackers who dont mind roughing it a bit and phew, there are some rough ones there!

So yes, maybe Nusa Lembongan would be a great "island" to start with, all food for thought for you anyway....
