Set in Weetebula, 1.3 km from Mananga Aba Beach, Mario Hotel and Cafe offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a restaurant. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. We stayed at Mario on two occasions on this trip, once at the start and the end. It’s 20 mins from Tambulaka airport and is the perfect place to start to unwind and for preparing to complete a wonderful holiday. The staff are friendly and kind. The rooms are clean, well-considered and comfortable. Book the sea-view double, you won’t regret it when you wake up to the wide expanse of the sea outside your window. It’s right on the beach so you can enjoy the sand and expanse of salty sea, or lounge by the pool which, while some have noted looks strange in colour, but is cleaned every morning and is a saltwater based. Fantastic cos’ it’s great for your skin without the harshness of chlorine. Food is delicious. All in all, Mario is small enough to feel like home and still clearly a very well-maintained and cared for hotel.

With mountain views, Morinda Villa and Resto is set in Waingapu and has a restaurant and free shuttle service. The property was built in 2016 and features air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The view from this villa is amazing. We can see the hills, river, sunrise and sunset glow. The atmosphere is very peaceful, some animals live together in this beautiful place. Breakfast is also nice. We enjoyed Nasi Goreng, Banana pancake and cutting fruits with nice view. At the departure day, even if we leave the villa very early in the morning 5:00am, hotel staff prepared us light breakfast for taking away. Staffs are very kind and friendly. Freddy helped us very much and took us to a lot of beautiful places. He knows a lot of attractive spot in Sumba, so we do not know much about this island at first time, but we could really enjoyed here because of his kind support. We could have a really nice time. The style of this villa seems like living in harmony with nature, so we felt it very comfortable. We will comeback this place if we have a chance to visit Sumba island. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.

Facing the seafront, Oro Beach Houses is a bed and breakfast offering a 3-star accommodation in Weetebula. It features a private beach area, garden and private parking. There is a private entrance at the bed and breakfast for the convenience of those who stay. The bed and breakfast has family rooms. Great place to stay, enjoy the quite, watch sunsets, walk on the beach. We enjoyed it a lot. I love that they do t have WiFi in the rooms, makes you stop looking at the phone every 30 min and makes you be present with the nature. Thank you for delicious food and fun greetings!

The country house features family rooms. We had a wonderful stay — the staff were warm and welcoming, and the authentic food they prepared was the best we had. Surrounded by beautiful views and nature, everything was clean, well-kept, and enhanced by the locally made soaps and products that smelled incredible.
