I can probably do without light for a while but no electricity meant no running water in the bathroom Air conditioning unit under-powered even though room was small. Bathroom was spacious but Breakfast options limited (fruit/fruit juice not included) Food tasted good Beach is beautiful in the picture but rocks as you enter the water makes it difficult (at high tide ok). Very long beach but difficult to walk (sand not so compacted and still at crush coral/shell phase) Staff unfriendly Booked for 10 days and stayed only 2 ##### LAURENT Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Philippe 7 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Philippe Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Philippe 4 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Philippe Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sumba is absolute paradise off the beaten track unexplored. Just wish this hotel had better WiFi ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Set on a beautiful beach with vast ocean views from each room, this is a gem of a small hotel. Staff are warm and professional; the rooms are simple (no phones, basic but ample amenities) but well laid out; the pool area (overlooking the ocean) is ample; the ocean views from each room and from the open air restaurant are gorgeous. It's a 30 minute drive back into town, and there are no nearby restaurants. But those seeking an exceptional ocean-view experience will find it all here. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniela 15 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Découverte de Sumba Seul hôtel pendant 3 semaines de voyage où il n y avait pas de chauffe eau dans la chambre donc pour boire quelque chose soit vous devez aller en ville (payer le transport car loin) soit aller au resto de Mario. Pas de wifi. la connexion internet pour effectuer le payement par carte de crédit était « branlant » et on s dû essayer à plusieurs reprises. Loin de la ville. La plage étant une plage publique, ne vous étonnez pas si les enfants vous encerclent comme si vous étiez des extra terrestres et surtout vous suivent partout. On n était pas à l aise car on ne savait pas si nos affaires allaient disparaître pendant notre bain. Du coup, on est parti à la piscine de l hôtel. Très belle piscine. Repas excellents. Tout est cher par rapport aux autres îles (Sumatra, Java, Bali et Flores sont moins en ce qui concerne les hébergements, les repas et surtout les excursions). L hôtel Mario mériterait un bon rafraîchissement. ##### Daniela Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Anthony 16 May 2019 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Anthony Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dejligt hotel med smuk beliggenhed Vi nød opholdet i en hytte smagfuldt indrettet med terrasse med havudsigt. Fin pool som vi benyttede flittigt da vi var bange for at bade i havet, da voldsomme bølger ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theodora, Bali 21 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities You walk straight from you room onto the gorgeous beach. Staff and everyone super nice and helpful ##### Theodora Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Blue Lagoon Avia Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ceningan-Island-Hotels-Blue-Lagoon-Avia-Villas.h29281205.Hotel-Information) > > [Desa Di Bali Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kerobokan-Hotels-Desa-Di-Bali-Villas.h13365716.Hotel-Information) > > [La Cabane Bali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jimbaran-Hotels-La-Cabane-Bali.h35574446.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kayon Jungle Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Payangan-Hotels-The-Kayon-Jungle-Resort-By-Pramana.h27273708.Hotel-Information) > > [Jumeirah Bali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pecatu-Hotels-Jumeirah-Bali.h41889460.Hotel-Information) > > [The Udaya Resorts and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ubud-Hotels-The-Udaya-Resorts-And-Spa.h17447297.Hotel-Information) > > [The LUXE Ubud, a Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ubud-Hotels-Luxe-Villas-Bali.h12280671.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilsons Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gili-Trawangan-Hotels-Wilsons-Retreat.h18163906.Hotel-Information) > > [Katamaran Hotel & Resort Lombok](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Senggigi-Hotels-Katamaran-Hotel-Resort.h14654357.Hotel-Information) > > [Padma Resort Ubud](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Payangan-Hotels-Padma-Resort-Ubud.h11080109.Hotel-Information) > > [Alila Ubud.
