The Hawk's Nest Resort

Excellent facility, clean food, affordable prices, and all staff are friendly and helpful. Thank you for everything, The Hawks Nest!

The room was large, but the door lock was broken. Although the staff helped fix it, it required a lot of force to lock, so we didn't lock it for eight days straight, and nothing was stolen – it was really safe. You need to notify the staff to clean the room; they cleaned it quite thoroughly. It's a pretty good hotel on Wee Island. Aside from boat trips, we ate almost all our meals at the hotel. We booked in advance and they prepared everything; the food at the hotel was much better than outside. They even helped clean the shellfish we collected on our boat trips for free, and they cooked the fish we caught for free. Wee Island's infrastructure is very poor, so this hotel is really quite good. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming. The hotel doesn't have many rooms, but the privacy is excellent. The beach is for children to play in the sand; there are no waves, so adults don't have to supervise them constantly, which is very convenient. The only drawback is the remote location; you absolutely must rent a car, otherwise, you won't be able to get around.

The rooms were significantly better than other hotels on Wee Island, with air conditioning and hot water. The hotel restaurant was delicious, and the hotel had its own beach where you could go beachcombing at low tide. The hotel staff were very welcoming; they even helped prepare the fish we caught, and the fish tasted great. Although mistakes were common in the service, they were all very conscientious and helpful, and they didn't try to cut corners. So, once you get used to the Indonesian tendency to make a few mistakes every day, you'll find it enjoyable.

My husband and I vacationed in October. We stayed in the most inconvenient house. It's right next to the road and parking lot, right at the top. You have to go down a long flight of steps to get to the sea, reception, and restaurant. The road and parking lot are very noisy, especially on weekends, starting on Fridays. It's impossible to rest and sleep there. A house lower down or closer to the sea would be much better. There's no pool. The only entertainment is snorkeling and kayaking. It's very boring. The sea is shallow (at low tide), so swimming is impossible. There are no sun loungers. So, basically, you have breakfast and sit at home. There's nowhere to go. The area is surrounded by jungle and small settlements. You can rent a bike. Go to Sabang and 0 km away. I don't recommend going to the waterfall. There's no road as such. Pros: Very polite staff. Good food in the restaurant. The view from the window or balcony is beautiful. If necessary, the staff will help you call a taxi.

Before that I stayed at Freddy's, which is top class in comparison. We booked a cottage, above all praise. The place is beautiful, well-groomed, clean. The bed is huge, comfortable, gigantic bathroom with everything that should be there. The staff is top notch, the food is excellent and varied. Pizza, fries, etc., plus local dishes for every taste. The administrator resolved all issues, such as changing dollars when exchangers were not working (Chinese New Year), organizing a taxi for the ferry, buying tickets for the ferry, renting a scooter, etc. One thing lets me down: the sea is not very swimmable, shallow and the bottom is so-so, but the beauty of the place outshines everything and the scooter solves all problems.

Wir hatten einen Bungalow gebucht, dieser war sehr sporadisch eingerichtet, im Zimmer war kein Kühlschrank vorhanden, die vorhandenen Schränke waren sehr schmutzig, keine Fächer, sodass wir aus der Tasche gelebt haben. Größtes Ärgernis waren die vor Ort stattfindenden Baumaßnahmen im Bereich des speisebereiches. Der Service war sehr schlecht, zur Frühstückszeit um 8 Uhr morgens mussten wir erst das Küchenpersonal im Bereich der Küche wecken, sie haben dort geschlafen, frische Säfte bzw Obst musste separat bezahlt werden, obwohl wir mit Frühstück gebucht hatten. Der auf dem Bild dargestellte Strand entspricht nicht den Tatsachen, durch die starke Ebbe ist der Strand zum Großteil des Tages ohne Wasser, da sich das Hotel in Mangroven Bereich befindet ist der Untergrund sehr schlammig und eignet sich nicht zum Baden. Das Essensangebot ist sehr übersichtlich, nicht empfehlenswert.
