Hi,
I'm hoping to get to stay at Gili T for in June.
I think I've looked at as many options & forums as i can & have found I've got a few basic choices to make, I appreciate any feedback people can offer.
I'm on a pretty small budget, so this is an important aspect to my options.
Option1:
Book before I leave, but not get the best rates available.
Option 2:
Book when I arrive.
Go around looking foe a better price, particularly from some of the properties that don't have web presence.
I've read a few people suggest this is a good way to meet a cheaper budget,......but,
....I'm pretty keen to arrive in the afternoon, by slower boat (see Perama tours), this is both a cheaper, & apparently, much more relaxed & enjoyable entry to Gili T.
Clearly, arriving this late in the day is going to limit my choices & be more difficult, given the time of day.
Option 3:
(As suggested by a property owner on Gili T.)
Book 1 night before arrival, late afternoon as per option 2.
Then shop around the next day, again as per option 2.
NOTE-- I'm especially interested in peoples experiences with securing accommodation on arrival, or once there, have you seen that there are better / cheaper options had you booked on the spot? &/or feedback re cheap options they've found that aren't available online.
Thanks in advance.
