Waka Shorea Resort

A magical stay in this hotel where you can enjoy nature and animal life in total tranquility. Observing black monkeys, deer and birds in their natural habitat is a unique and soothing experience. The beach offers a translucent sea, perfect for admiring fish from the water’s edge. You should not miss the bird watching with Nono, a bird enthusiast and fervent defender of nature and the environment. His enthusiasm is infectious, and his commitment goes beyond excursions: he actively participates in education in schools and villages. A true paradise for nature lovers!

We spent two days here. Lovely bungalow, clean and comfortable. Beach with padded sunbeds and hammock. Amazing but true, in the garden and on the beach there are families of fallow deer grazing and bathing (!). There are also two species of monkeys: the black ones, which do nothing but play and swing on the trees; the gray ones, more "nervous", food thieves, if you get distracted for a moment they steal you from the plate and open your bag! We went out for a morning of snorkeling, the guide and the captain of the boat were GREAT we saw so many turtles, moray eels and in general so many colorful fish. Coral is very present and healthy! Between a dip and the other we rested on an island and were offered lots of fruit and hot tea. We've had massages, the therapists are great and you can choose the essence you like. The restaurant is always open for a drink or a snack, good food but the menu is always the same... maybe it would be nice to introduce "the dish of the day" and change it! All the staff are absolutely delightful: friendly and helpful. A place to come back to remember that it is possible to live in contact and harmony with nature, savoring silence and being careful not to waste resources. Very very well!

A little paradise... from the moment you arrive at Nusa Bay, you embrace the tranquillity. The short ferry ride across sets the scene for a wonderful place. All the staff are exceptionally friendly, special mention for the receptionist, Lia who was particularly friendly and helpful. We picked a lodge with a sea view, which I would recommend. (The others had a very limited view). The room and bed were surprisingly comfortable, with a large "fairly" modern bathroom. They supply bottles of water twice per day. The highlight for us was a group of about 20 black monkeys swinging over our terrace... quite a sight. There are also lots of Menjngan deer on the beach lounging around... grey monkeys and even a wild pig... Breakfast and dinner by the beach were perfect. The food was good quality and well presented. You can't walk outside the hotel grounds as it is in the National Park. In summary, a little oasis of peace and tranquillity, where you will wish you had booked more nights... we loved it.
