Top Tambolaka Hotel Reviews

ARYA Sumba

ARYA Sumba

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely place and the staff and customer service were stellar. The restaurant was also the best food we have had in Sumba so far. The spa is under construction, so there were no spa services, even in the rooms, which was disappointing. We were warned about the construction of the spa, but didn’t realize that meant there would be no place to get a massage even nearby for a reasonable price. Nevertheless, we give it five stars."
