Nihi Sumba is a mesmerizing blend of luxury and laid-back charm, offering an incredible immersion into culture and adventure. I truly enjoyed the spacious Marangga unit with stunning views, the exceptional service from the staff, and the beautiful spa experiences. However, some activities felt overpriced, and while the dining was good, the menu could use more variety. Overall, it's a paradise I can't wait to return to!
