Honestly the highlight of my 3 week tour east of Bali, and INCREDIBLE Value. Arrived out of season. Best plan ever!

One of my favourite hotels to stay if I come back to Jereweh area. Good price for good hotel… good people there… I love it. If you are surfer and want to surf in West Sumbawa, come here. Easy access to Tropicals and Yoyos surfing spots.

Nayaka – Japan

Awesome accommodation. Everything is clean and simple. It’s right out to one of Sumbawa’s beautiful beaches. You have the beach almost to yourself, and the sunset here is amazing. Grab a bintang, sit in the sand and take it all in.

C Pontoppidan – Denmark

The location is picturesque and the rooms simple and cheap … I had some of the best food I’ve eaten so far while traveling here. The dinner and lunch buffet is awesome and something different every night. Loved chilling in the hammocks, playing pool etc…There are not many places in YoYos that are this good and this cheap with such good food options.

Lots of big old shade trees open to sea breeze to hang a hammock on… Staff are always helpful… Fantastic breakfast with open vistas of entire bay… Every year I go there’s a fresh litter of cute new puppies to play with… Love the location, Love the staff, Love the laid back vibe, Love this place, I can’t stop coming back every year!
