Posizione pazzesca ma servizi da migliorare...staff molto gentile.
Pros:

lo staff molto gentile, la camera molto bella anche se posizionata davanti al bar che pero non era rumoroso.
Escursioni straordinarie

Cons:

Unfortunately, there were several aspects of our stay that fell significantly below expectations, particularly considering the price point.
The airport transfer service was extremely disappointing and, frankly, concerning from a safety perspective. We booked two cars: one was an old vehicle without air conditioning and, halfway through the journey, the engine broke down, leaving us stranded with still around an hour and a half to reach our destination. The children were then transferred, together with the luggage, onto the back of a pick-up truck.
What was particularly alarming was that the driver of the pick-up, carrying three adults and five children in the back without seatbelts, fell asleep at the wheel. I was sitting in the front and noticed what was happening just in time. The vehicle was at risk of leaving the road, potentially hitting three children walking along the roadside and the hut behind them. It could have resulted in a tragedy both for the people outside the vehicle and for those of us travelling in it. This was simply unacceptable.
The handling of the situation afterwards was also disappointing. Initially, the hotel was unwilling even to offer a reduction for the vehicle that had broken down. I was offered a bottle of wine as compensation for the inconvenience, which I declined, and I had to insist before they agreed to adjust the charge. This was particularly frustrating given that the transfer was already very expensive: 2.5 million Indonesian rupiah plus 23% tax per vehicle.
There were also a number of other issues during our stay. The quality of the food was inconsistent, and several ingredients listed on the menu were repeatedly unavailable, including avocado and fish. We were also never able to have a proper hot shower. On the final day, I was sent to another room specifically to shower, only for the hot water there to last for approximately two minutes before turning cold again,
Finally, we were charged an additional 2% credit card fee

Pros:

Die Aussicht, der Strand und das Hotel waren sehr schön. Zum Erholen bestens geeignet. Es hat mit Abstand das schönste Badezimmer. In der Nähe hat es zwei weitere Strände, welche man unbedingt zu Fuss besichtigen sollte.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Sie haben uns beispielsweise eine Tour durch ein altes Village organisiert, was wir erst an diesem Morgen nachgefragt haben.

Cons:

Was gegen das Hotel spricht, ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. In der Nähe ist das Nihi Resort, welches extrem teuer ist. Sie versuchen wahrscheinlich aufgrund dessen die Preise im Hotel für die Übernachtung auch ein bisschen mitzugehen. Allerdings ist es fast dreifach so teuer wie veegleichbare Hotels in Sumba.
Und Trotz dieses Preises haben sie uns bei der Anreise zwei Kokosnüsse gegeben, allerdings haben wir bei der Abreise diese Kokosnüsse auf der Rechnung gehabt. Also der Value dieses Hotels stimmt für mich einfach gar nicht.

Pros:

The property was so well located, right on the Beach and walking distance to several other beautiful beaches. Easy to do a half day trip to several popular spots from here. The staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Special thank you to Leone and Eva/Ava (sorry for spelling). The food was great and the rooms were so clean. Would stay here again in a heartbeat

A dreamlike family week right on the beach with exceptionally warm staff – we'll be back!
Pros:

Simply everything. The staff are exceptional: when one of us got sick, the team spontaneously lent us a car and drove us to the hospital themselves. They looked after our children (4 and 6), played with them and were always there – warm and attentive, yet never intrusive, exactly the right balance. The property was spotless, cleaned twice a day. Mosquito spray and little extras were provided without us asking – zero stress. The food was excellent throughout, morning, noon and night. The beachfront location is a dream, everything clean and peaceful. You meet the loveliest people from all over the world who drop by to eat or just hang out – and the locals at Batu Bella Beach are warm and genuinely interested in you, without ever trying to sell anything. A perfect place for families.

Cons:

Nothing – truly nothing. It was outstanding from start to finish. The only downside was having to leave.

Sumba Beach House- a little slice of paradise!
Pros:

Sumba Beach House was absolutely fantastic! We are a family of 4, and we had 4 nights here. The location was perfect- absolute beach front. Beautiful clean beach out the front and a short bike ride to equally beautiful beaches around the corner. The rooms were awesome- bungalow style with a huge and unique bathroom. AC worked well and plenty of hot water. The restaurant was also great with delicious menu. Included breakfast was varied and good quality. Staff were super friendly. Easy access to good surf spots.
We would definitely come back- excellent value for money. We loved Sumba- relaxing, quiet, peaceful and unique.

Cons:

Not much!

D’agréables cabanes directement sur la plage
Pros:

Sumba beach house a une vue direct sur la mer, une super équipe très serviable, un très bon restaurant.

Cons:

Je trouve que le logement est très cher pour les prestations et en comparaison avec les prix indonésiens. Aussi, les activités ne sont pas à la hauteur de leur prix. Notamment sur la partie Bateau et Cheval.
