Hotels with Parking in Waikelo

We had a great time at Maringi Sumba where we spent 3 nights: - Accommodation: we stayed in a beautiful bamboo pavilion that had everything you need; the cleaning team came twice a day and made sure the room is tidy and spotless; we appreciated the complimentary laundry service since we had a 3 week vacation in Indonesia - Staff: welcoming, friendly, polite, paying attention to small details, remembering our names, explaining the facilities, activities, etc, they were the highlight of our stay, especially Alice who was our guide - Communication: smooth, fast and professional via WhatsApp, helped with booking trips for us and with any inquiry we had - Food: high quality products, home made, tasty, a great variety of choices, we enjoyed every meal - Trips: we did 2 tours through Maringi (Lamboya and Marapu) both were good to learn more about the island and the culture; we had a student with us(without a tour guide) during both trips and we felt that the information provided was very minimal, we were expecting more details about the culture/island/traditions etc, not sure if it’s the students’ job to know this, maybe consider having a professional guide instead or train the students for this purpose which will add great value. The restaurant included in the Marapu tour was disappointing, no appetizer, no dessert, no drinks, and portion was too small for two people. We missed the hotel’s food which was far better. The prices on the brochure were not accurate, please make sure you list the correct price/ person and not per group. - Location: quiet location, not far from the airport, we enjoyed the pool, the yoga class and the rest of the facilities (pool), the only downside is the lack of beach access but we didn’t mind since we booked tours to explore the island - Overall: great quality for the price, attentive staff, hopefully we will return back soon to Sumba to explore even more, thank you for making our stay memorable!

Everything is perfect. All staff is very kind. Highly recommend.

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.

The best part of the stay was definitely the staff, Monica to be more precise. She made us feel so welcome. The sheets were clean and smelled well, warm water, beautiful sea views and goof air conditioning and the breakfast was great. We wanted to rent a bike and the staff in 20 min arranged us a great bike and also a driver to bring us to the airport. Thank you again Monica and the other girls for our amazing stay.

Great stay walking distance to the airport very convenient. They also arranged for us to get a bike.

It's simply a gem in the middle of the nature, facing the ocean with a beautiful beach. They build some chairs made of tree branches overlooking the ocean, where you can sit and sip a cup of tea while watching the sunset... The rooms are so nice with the round shape and all the colors, and taking a shower with the morning sun rays (or while watching the stars) is another nice plus... And maybe they hide an Italian chef somewhere in the kitchen, because I had the best pasta of the last 5 months 😄 Can't recommend Oro Beach Houses enough and I hope that I can come back one day... Thank you so much for having created this magical place with so much soul and charm 🙏

This was a nice stay - interesting museum - organise a tour and donate as it’s not always open and I think it’s a private collection??? It’s very quiet and far from town so a scooter is recommended There is also a great cashew farm up the road within walking distance that has great coffee and delicious cashew milk which we enjoyed hot and cold (try both!)
