Het is een mooi hotel, jammer van de prijzen in het restaurant.
Pros:

Het zijn mooie kamers, kleinschalig, en aan het strand.

Cons:

De prijzen vh eten en drinken in het restaurant zij. totaal uit verhouding voor wat je in die regio zou moeten betalen. Ze zouden beter de kamers iets duurder kunnen maken, en de prijzen in het restaurant met 30% verlagen. Eten van te voren bestellen, wat prima werkt, anders zit je erg lang te wachten op je eten.

Le bruit de l océan la nuit…

Pros:

Tanoma Sumba e tipo un resort. Camera fronte spiaggia, staff gentile. Erano un po’ sorpresi che fossi in viaggio da sola. In compenso il prezzo è molto elevato per essere l’Indonesia e per la qualità della struttura.

Cons:

Prezzo troppo elevato

Een fijne plek om de wereld om je heen te vergeten.
Pros:

Het ligt direct aan het strand met een paradijslijk uitzicht. Het personeel is vriendelijk. Het eten is goed. Je kunt kiezen uit een behoorlijke menukaart. Internet is goed. Zo ook de bedden. Je kunt er, als je geluk hebt, dolfijnen zien. Veel luxe en ruimte.

Cons:

De ramen waren smerig. De badkamer heeft een open verbinding met buiten waardoor er ongedierte naar binnen kan komen.

Pros:

Nice traditional houses, we had a 2 floor one and it was big.
Seafront and quite far from everything.
Very quiet.

Cons:

The staff is nice and smiling, but communicating is not easy and English is very basic or unknown.
Restaurant is expensive compared to the rest of the island (and of Indonesia), the wait is over one hour if you don’t boo your dinner in advance and tell the staff at what time you want it.
Considering the price (again compared to other Indonesia and Sumba accommodations) they lack something.

Un cadre agréable et une chambre spacieuse, mais une expérience globalement décevante en raison de la qualité des repas,
Pros:

Le cadre est très agréable et la chambre est spacieuse.

Cons:

Le resort est très isolé, ce qui ne nous posait pas de problème en soi. En revanche, cela nous a contraints à prendre tous nos repas sur place, midi et soir. Malheureusement, les plats se sont révélés mauvais et chers, avec en plus des délais d’attente excessifs (plus d’1h30 pour être servis).

Le personnel est aimable, mais le service manque de professionnalisme : par exemple, le plateau de notre petit-déjeuner est resté toute la journée devant notre bungalow, et nous avons dû nous rendre à la réception pour qu’il soit débarrassé.

Enfin, si le resort a pu organiser notre transfert depuis l’aéroport, il n’a pas été en mesure de nous trouver un chauffeur pour rejoindre notre hôtel suivant à l’ouest de l’île. Le chauffeur attitré étant déjà réservé, aucune alternative ne nous a été proposée. Nous avons donc dû chercher nous-mêmes un taxi, ce qui est particulièrement compliqué dans un endroit aussi isolé.

Excellent, well managed
Pros:

A paradise, if you are seeking peace and quiet and are prepared the care you will receive by a well trained staff, with little knowledge of any language other then bahasa indonesia. But that is the charm of the place. A newly appointed general manager Mia, fluent english attentive, warm reception and full of information. The cuisine offering interesting local fare rather well prepared. Highly recommended as a destination along the coast.
