Mimpi Resort Tulamben

Awesome!!! Absolutely amazing!!! If I could have booked this place a bit cheaper, it would be my go-to spot in my village (referring to the island)! **Facilities:** A charming courtyard with a volcano view. The bathroom is spacious and open-plan, which I really liked – you can even stargaze at night. Plus, there's a small basin next to the sink, perfect for rinsing dive gear. Divers, rejoice!!! **Cleanliness:** Generally clean, though occasionally the towels had stubborn stains. The mosquito net felt a bit dirty. **Environment:** It's located right on the edge of the main street, making it convenient to get everywhere. Next to the 'drop-off' point, you can sit on a lounge chair and watch divers being knocked over by the waves (a humorous observation). **Service:** Breakfast is sometimes à la carte, sometimes buffet, and both are pretty good. The hotel's restaurant is also fantastic, though a bit pricey, around 70-100 per person. But the food really is delicious.

It was just so-so, a lot of show but not much substance. The room was relatively small and damp, and being too close to the sea meant the waves were quite noisy. The space was limited, and the environmental management was poor.

We stayed for one night. One massage and breakfast were included in the price. We were treated to coconut juice, and there were fruits prepared in our room. The room had been pre-cooled with air conditioning before our arrival. My wife and I purchased an additional massage for 200k rupiah. I really enjoyed it, especially the facial massage. There's a diving center on-site where you can rent a mask and snorkel for snorkeling. There are great spots nearby with lots of fish. We saw about 30 divers in the morning, so it's clearly a popular diving destination.

The environment is pretty good, but the room facilities are a bit old. It's suitable for couples and honeymooners, especially since there aren't many other options in Tulamben. Also, the front desk staff doesn't speak Chinese, and there are no Chinese-speaking service personnel.
