Matayangu Waterfall

The hotel was very nice and modern, with excellent facilities and easy access to the ocean. Everywhere you looked there was a beautiful view. The breakfast was fantastic, with a wide array of choices from different cuisines, so there was something for everyone. The reason for the 4 stars is mainly due to the check-in process and the behaviour of some other guests around the pool. Our check-in took a very long time, with little communication about whether our room was ready. We had to wait around an hour after the stated check-in time before being given our room, and I had to ask multiple times for an update before eventually being told it was ready. As the hotel is quite a distance from the main town, there wasn’t a great deal to do while waiting, so better communication would have made the experience much less frustrating. My only other criticism was the pool area. As this is a 5-star resort, I would expect it to be somewhere guests can relax. Some children were repeatedly jumping into the pool and causing a lot of splashing, resulting in guests and their belongings on the surrounding sunbeds getting wet. I completely understand children having fun, but a little consideration for other guests would have been appreciated. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is beautiful, the views are amazing, the facilities are excellent and the breakfast was a highlight. With a smoother check-in and more consideration around the pool, it would have been a 5-star experience.

We loved our stay at Meruorah. This is by far the best option if you want to stay near the harbour. Very convenient before or after your boattrip to Komodo etc. You could even start your trip next to the hotel! As easy as that! Try to book the seaview rooms, those are stunning.. i tried rooms on both sides… for sure the ones with seaview were the best. I slept with the doors open and closed. Even though I am a light sleeper… did not hear noices from outside, wich keep me awake… at all. The other day I slept with the terrace doors open… that day, I only hear noices around 6 AM, for me personally, no big deal! About the room with a hillview, which was quiet near to the mosque… with the terrace doors completely shut… I did not hear the early morning prayers at all!! Conclussion: rooms are soundproof! Everything on walkable distance… many restaurants/eateries/fish market… you name it… Staff very friendly and willing to make your stay as comfy as pissible… Breakfast was goid, enough choices, both for western as local food! Once again view stunning and could not better!! Will book this hotel again, when in LBJ and can highly recommend it!
