Let me preface by saying that over the last 30 years, I've traveled at budget level in Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, and Malaysia, among others. We've also visited many of the Indonesian islands from Aceh to Irian Jaya, and from Timor to Maluku, staying in simple accommodation, so I'm... More

PRICE: EUR 45 - 55 a night STAY: 9 Feb - 14 Feb 2013 TIP/ADVICE: bring plastic sandals if you have very sensitive feet as there are rocks on the bottom of the ocean while entering the sea (see also (6) listed below). This place is EXCELLENT!!! If you are looking for a resort, then book a room or villa... More

My 10-year old daughter, my wife, and I love Oro very much. The owners Lukas & Siska and their two daughters Noni & Elsa are so warm & friendly. My daughter instantly became friends with Noni & Elsa, swimming & playing together on the hotel's beach, which is... paradise. The calm & clear water, the pristine white sand beach, the... More

We loved Oro. Lucas Siska and the girls are lovely and became friends to us in the week we were there. The bungalow was spacious and overlooked the lovely white sand beach. Yes, it is basic, yes it is isolated but this is Sumba not Bali :-) Our food was good as longt as you can cope with relaxed time... More

I have travelled extensively around Sumba and this hotel is a gem of a place. The owners Siska and Lukas are a fantastic couple and the place has a wonderful family feel to it. We stayed in the aircon room in the house and it was top class with a huge bed and a box mosquito net so you get... More

We had a wonderful 5 night stay in Oro Beach! Initially we were planning to stay just 3 nights but ended up extending as it proved such a lovely spot, and we were able to use it as a base for our explorations of west Sumba. Siska, and her staff, were warm and attentive. We celebrated our son's 11th birthday... More

In need for a place for recovering after some temporary health problem, for us this was really a lovely place to stay. The helpful owners Luca and Sisca created this beautiful and quiet spot. The bungalow is comfortable and situated less than 1 minute walk from the beach and the sea. Go for a walk early in the morning and... More

Very charming, family-run hotel at a stone-throw from one of the most beautiful beaches ever! The German owner and his wife from Flores did a great job in setting up a basic - good quality - business. There's a spacious bungalow overlooking the sea and some rooms in the main building, all build with natural materials and allowing maximal air... More
