Net goed genoeg voor de walvishaaien-excursie
Pros:

Mooie ligging aan een strandje, prachtig uitzicht. Goede plek als start voor de walvishaaien-excursie

Cons:

Vergane glorie, zeker niet 3 sterren. Het is echt alleen goed voor de walvishaaien, daarna zou ik gelijk vertrekken. Eten is zeer matig en personeel heel ongeïnteresseerd en afstandelijk.

De excursie is een piepklein bootje die nota bene werd aangevaren!

Very comfortable for a stay before going on the Whaleshark tour.
Pros:

It was really comfortable and clean and located 3 min drive from the pier for whale shark tour boats. We were afraid reading all the negative review comments but there was nothing wrong with the rooms. We had number 1 and 2.

Cons:

Nothing really given this is exactly what it says: a transit hotel so you do not expect a great beach or fancy facilities.

Pros:

The view was picturesque

Cons:

The toilet paper was thicker than the quilt, thats had no cover. The crusty rough towels. broken glass in the sand. The food was basic to say the least.

Correct pour une nuit
Pros:

Emplacement idéal proche du point de départ pour les excursions avec les requins baleines. Literie confortable, douche bien chaude, chambre spacieuse.

Cons:

La nourriture était vraiment mauvaise, un riz frit congelé et réchauffé au petit-déjeuner, en Asie c’est dommage. Taches de sang sur les draps même s’ils étaient tout de même propres. La chambre mériterait d’être plus propre également.

Pros:

Très bon hôtel pour une escale sur la route entre le centre et l'ouest de Sumbawa, ou pour une sortie snorkelling. Extrêmement bien tenu, très propre !
