Asa Hotel & Restaurant

Honestly I was quite surprised to know there was a hotel of this good quality in Larantuka. The further I rode (we were on a group motorbike Touring trip) eastwards, the only thing we witnessed was decreasing infrastructure quality.||ASA Hotel is nice. Very friendly staff. Rooms were clean and nice. Air-conditioning was functional. Breakfast was okay.||The best was the sunrise view from the pool area of the hotel.. Stunning..||Very highly recommended.

We stayed here as a family of 3 couples. This hotel is modern and tidy and would be a 3-4 star in a high tourist area, but that is not what Larantuka is. This hotel appears to be the best in the location with maintained gardens and swimming pool. the rooms are up to date with little wear and tear. ||The hotel seems to cater mostly for indonesian guests so do not expect too much western style breakfasts other than an omelette. ||We really enjoyed our time here as there are areas where large groups could eat in a pavillion by the beach or even on the boat that is permantly fixed on the shoreline.||The views are great and the ocean warm with local life going on all around you. This place has the feel of Seminyak about 25 years ago.||The internet is really sketchy, but that is not the hotel's fault, it is sketchy everywhere. I bought an Indo sim card for my phone and used the hotspot when the hotels one was a little overloaded - it was nearly booked out every day we were there. A cyclone had taken out the cable on the next island. ||Because the internet is sketchy, I would recommend paying your bill everyday rather than what we did by leaving it till the last day when there was no internet at all. It was a major drama to try and pay our bill but we ended up being able to use the atm down the road to withdraw cash.||There is an atm within walking distance to the left of the entrance (near the mosque) that dishes out 100k rupiah notes instead of 50k that we received in most of the atms in town.||You can catch one of the local taxi buses with blaring music for 50k rp/per as you walk along the road outside - we never had to walk more than 50m before one saw us.||There is a little warung to buy small things nearby like cigarettes etc too. Travel into town to the night markets for fantastic sate, grilled seafood and noodle dishes. The fish are fresh caught and you can select your own to eat. ||There is a supermarket where you can buy most products a traveller would require - upstairs houses the cooking and plastic ware such as plastic tubs for washing etc.||The supermarket has a small selection of beers such as bintang and prost .||The day market is where you can purchase some of the best tropical fruit I have tasted. The pineapples are large and sweet and the mangoes are huge and juicy. There are wide selections of spices and vegies displayed along the market road.||||If you go skin diving off the hotel area and catch something, the hotel can cook it for you. Talking to one guy, he said that he saw beautiful tuna and deep water fish just 100m off shore as well as more of the coral type fish. He did warn though that the rip was very strong and he was carried about a km down shore before he realised. Check to see if the fishermen are out, it they are not- presume that the water is dangerous as he said the ledge dropped off very quick and then the water became very fast.||There is a british guy running the dive shop and he is a wealth of information about the area and can organise fishing, diving and tourist boat trips for you at very reasonable rates.||Our son was marrying a local girl and we were there for their ceremony up in the mountain village. It is worth a drive to go up into the mountain areas as the views are spectacular over the ocean and all the little islands in the many bays.||We were unable to find motorbikes to rent which meant that we couldn't just go off and follow our noses, but had to rely on the local transport. Hopefully someone will start a bike hire place soon.||Trips out along the coats has people living on the beach in the fishing villages with children playing idyllically in the mangroves and sand. ||The people are very happy and there is music everywhere all the time. Very little english is spoken, but as nearly all have an education, I used my english to indonesian translation app very easily

It is a nice hotel located in front of the beach. The bedding is quite nice I can sleep comfortably. The bathroom is clean. The nice thing is to stroll down the beach in the morning. Though they close the gate of the fence, but I can still manage to go to the beach. Breakfast is good , the staff is nice

Probably best hotel in Larantuka at the moment, with beautiful beach and mountain view behind the hotel.||The foods are good, mostly Indonesian foods. ||Hotel staff are helpful. ||Wifi is available. ||Hot water and toiletries are available. ||Laundry service is available. ||Cleanliness needs to improve, I found some live and dead dried worms in the bathroom.

It was our first time dining out at the restaurant on the recommendation of a friend in Jogja. We had an enjoyable time there, the food we ordered was very yummy, and the restaurant atmosphere was friendly and peaceful. As we're new to the town, travelling to the restaurant by Grab car from Prawirotaman was the best choice; it would have been a little confusing finding our way to the restaurant. The location of the restaurant can be hard to find for anyone new to Jogja.

Nice place to stay, Rooms very tidy with cottage concept, it's very lovely to get fresh air. Very helpfull and nice employee, also good quality of laundry. You might have minimum choice of breakfast menu, but delocious with small touch of local taste, anyway you can still try another food from the menu (Their ikan kuah kuning so nice!!) A BIG BONUS of beautifull view of beach in the hotel backyard!!

The breakfast menu is limited and room safety should be improved. There is a quite big space between the curtain and window, so we need to be careful if someone passing by takes a peak to our room. However this is one of the best hotel in larantuka so far (2019)

Beautiful hotel, very well managed. The pool was great, the room was immaculate, the service was very professional. The restaurant was not quite as on point, but the kuah asem was delicious. This seems like the classiest place to stay in Larantuka.
