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 !

Pros:

The staff are friendly and the manager is very helpful.

It's a town far from the airport where there's nothing and absolutely nothing to do.

serviceable
Pros:

Standard basic room that will do for the night before your sharking trip. Sincere and helpful receptionist.

Cons:

Some rooms have hot water, some don't. The shower holder is installed incredibly high. I've never seen anything like it. The bungalows are made by pretty low standards (there was a 2cm gap between the wall and the bathroom door that they forgot to seal, for example).
The restaurant is overpriced and the food isn't good either.

Would stay one night to do whale sharks.
Pros:

The location was very handy for being close to where you leave to go see the whale sharks.

Cons:

It was very basic. The pillows could do with replacing for sure and the food was a bit average but as you probably only need to stay one night if you are doing the whale sharks, it’s a good option. You can’t swim out the front as it’s kind of muddy and there is nothing else in the area to do.
