This absolutely the best hotel I've stayed with, no wonder it is rated to be among The Best in The World. The property, views, experience, service are just beyond exceptional.
It was absolutely The Best at every aspect of it.
Every moment, every experience was very unique at its emotions, quality and authenticity.
I never had such amazing, high quality service as from every member of Nihi staff. Absolutely the best from the moment you land to Indonedsia (though we arrived a week before our arrival to Nihi, the staff helped us to go through express arrival clearance) until you depart Sumba.
I highly recommend this hotel.
l'istante esatto in cui metti piede in questo paradiso capisci che non vorresti più andare via. e con il trascorrere del tempo ti rendi conto che tutto è più bello di come ti eri immaginato
