Lelewatu Resort Sumba

Mi esposa y yo nos alojamos 12 días en Lelewatu Resort. ¡La experiencia fue fantástica, con las vistas y el servicio, magnífico! Durante nuestra estancia, pudimos rejuvenecer nuestra mente y alma con el sonido de las olas rompiendo en la orilla. Quiero felicitar al personal de servicio: Wanto, Anton, Alin y a todo el personal que nos brindó un servicio excelente. ¡En especial a Colin, el gerente de operaciones, quien se tomó el tiempo de explicarnos todo lo que podíamos hacer y experimentar durante nuestra estancia en Sumba y Lelewatu Resort! Por recomendación de Colin, visitamos las playas de la zona, cuevas, acantilados, arrozales y cascadas. ¡Gracias por hacer de nuestro aniversario de bodas un recuerdo inolvidable!

Aunque fueron necesarios tres vuelos para llegar allí, definitivamente valió la pena. El paisaje era tan hermoso, el servicio fue especialmente bueno, recordaban el nombre de todos y nos quedamos en el hotel por muy poco tiempo, por lo que se sintió como un paquete de hotel.

We have loved our stay at Lelewatu and feel very grateful to have been able to experience staying there. We stayed in a cliff pool view villa, the view is spectacular, the villa itself is so beautifully designed and very clean. The pool is a nice size, very clean and has such a beautiful outlook. The bathtub is lovely overlooking the ocean and fills up very fast with clean water. The bed is comfortable with soft and clean linen. The staff are all very helpful and kind and we really have enjoyed all meals that have been lovingly prepared and delivered to our room. As we were celebrating our anniversary the staff organised a beautiful table setting for dinner which was such a kind gesture. Although neither of these two things would deter us from staying again they are worth noting. 1 the villa floor itself is noticeably unlevel and tilts down a little towards the back wall of the villa. 2 If you are a surfer this location does prove a little difficult and the hotel itself does not have a boat for transfers nor were they able to supply us with a rental bike that has a surfboard rack. As my husband is an experienced rider and has previous experience of navigating in rural areas using google maps he managed, although the trips to find the waves were not too comfortable without having a surfboard rack. If you have your own car or rent a car with a driver that is familiar with the area this may be fine for you to get to the local surf spots which are all around 30 minutes from the hotel. There is surf at nearby Nihi however that beach is private for hotel guests only. This is an ideal resort for honeymooners, couples of families looking for peace and tranquility.

Nice & neat room, friendly staff, marvelous scenery to enjoy

Lelewatu is an example of understated luxury in Sumba Island, which is much off the beaten track compared to other parts of Indonesia. The staff is very attentive but low key at the same time. The restaurant is great, especially on local choices. The villas are spacious with really high ceilings, a great pool and plenty of privacy. Will miss sleeping at the sound of the waves.

Beautiful location and villas, food at the restaurant is good. Service was good until they asked me for an outrageous amount when I asked for an additional blanket. That sort of ruined the experience but everything else was super nice.
