Sudamala Resort, Seraya, Flores

The service is very good, the food is delicious, the environment and scenery are very good, there are many fish and starfish underwater, but it is not as amazing as expected. Maybe I have been to some other very amazing outlying islands. In comparison, it is a bit of a hassle to come here specially. But the food and service in the hotel are very good. The location of the wooden house is also good

It is especially suitable for families. The sea in front of the hotel is especially suitable for snorkeling, and there is a relatively safe area. Children will feel safe snorkeling here. There are many kinds of corals and fish. But the life jackets provided by the hotel are too broken. Some buttons are useless, and some are tattered and leaking foam, which is seriously inconsistent with the image of the hotel.

The sea conditions are very good, the water is clear, and the corals and fish are abundant. The restaurant tastes average, but it is edible. The room is very clean and comfortable, but there is a unique island humidity, which people from the north may not be able to adapt to. The transportation service is very good, free airport pick-up and drop-off are available, and the shuttle boat will contact you by email in advance, but it will be easier to find it if you contact the store for photos. On the return trip, the hotel also sends you to the next hotel for free. If you go for vacation, this hotel is average, but if you go for snorkeling and diving, this hotel is super cost-effective.

Top, the snorkeling environment is so good, it's better than the snorkeling spots on a day trip

Brief summary: Highly recommended, great snorkeling, average restaurant, good service, clean environment, complete facilities, convenient transportation. 1. Transportation to the island: The pier for the p2 boat is next to the fish market. If you are worried, you can send an email to the hotel. The reply is very detailed. It is a dark blue (close to Klein blue) painted wooden boat with the word Seraya printed on the hull. I took the free ferry at 11 noon. I took a taxi to the pier by myself. The hotel should also provide airport pick-up service because I saw the hotel's special car in the airport parking lot. I left the hotel and took the 9 am boat to leave the island. Because the next stop is Ayana, the hotel arranged a special car in advance. When I got off the boat, they helped me carry my luggage and sent us to the Ayana lobby for free. 2. Hotel check-in: The free ferry sailed on the sea for about 50 minutes and arrived at the hotel at exactly 12 o'clock. After a simple welcome, the manager came to introduce the hotel facilities, and then I waited in the restaurant for the room to be cleaned. The standard check-in time is after 15:00, and my room was cleaned at 14:00. I had a meal in the hotel and made an appointment for SPA. 3. Hotel room: The room is not big, but it is big enough for two 25-inch suitcases to unfold. There is an open-air shower and toilet at the back, but no bathtub. It is recommended to bring some mosquito coils here, because the open-air toilet, when you turn on the light at night, the big mosquitoes bite you like crazy. There is a clay pot under the washbasin in the room toilet, which looks like it should be used for burning mosquito coils or aromatherapy. 4. Hotel food: I had fried rice, fried noodles, pasta, red wine beef, etc. for lunch and dinner. They were all average. I thought the fried rice was the best and full of flavor. The only thing to note is that when the waiter asks you if you can eat spicy fried rice, it is best to say slightly spicy or non-spicy. I enjoyed eating hot pot in Chongqing, but I was irritated by the chili in the fried rice. The first fried rice was slightly spicy and fragrant. The second fried rice, I continued to tell the waiter that I could eat spicy food. As a result, the whole meal was extremely spicy. I had to finish it and my stomach was uncomfortable for a whole day. The room booking includes breakfast. I didn't quite understand the ordering rules introduced by the waiter, but it should be 1 breakfast main course per person, 1 breakfast bowl of cereal, 1 cup of coffee, 1 cup of hot tea or juice. The amount is not small. It is recommended to order less. I didn't finish it according to the rules on the first day. There was a lot left. 5. SUNSET BAR, at the end of the hotel villa, along the stone road uphill end, the scenery is beautiful, the sunset usually starts around 5 pm, the first row of sofa seats with the best scenery are basically occupied at 4:30, you can go early if you have nothing to do, order a few non-alcoholic drinks, all sour, or ice cola is the most classic. 6. Snorkeling in the hotel, the underwater snorkeling environment is good, the only pity is that there are no jellyfish and turtles nearby, there are 2 kinds of starfish, sea urchins, sea ginseng, lionfish, trigger fish, 3 kinds of clown fish, black squid, pipe fish and other small fish in the large coral, and the best thing is that there are 2 kinds of fish under the hotel pier, which are always swimming in groups underwater, and they will not suddenly disperse if you approach them slowly, which is very good. The coral area of ​​the hotel is very large. Starting from the end of the pier, it takes 30 minutes to swim at a medium speed to the protruding reef position of the island. I didn't feel the surge as a whole, and the impact of upstream and downstream was not great. I learned frog diving by myself, and I have a one-star free diving level and rich snorkeling experience. I feel that I can easily control the waters of the hotel. For the sake of safety, I tied a follower with a 5-meter water safety rope for the first exploration, which did not affect the dive and ensured safety (but I didn't use it). If you want to be safe, you can try this combination. Be careful not to cross the buoy set by the hotel, but there is a cliff on the other side of the buoy, and you probably can't see anything. 7. Hotel water layout: After entering the water from the hotel's white beach, there are white sand, gravel, shells, coral bodies, underwater white sand muddy water belt, water grass belt, coral belt, and buoy boundary in the distance. There are basically only a few fish in the underwater white sand muddy water belt, but there are a lot of sea ginseng; there are a few fish in the water grass belt, which can be skipped by snorkeling directly. Except for being a little greasy and disgusting, there is nothing else and it won't entangle the mask and fins; the coral belt is all beautiful scenery, and every position is very beautiful. If you are interested, you can borrow a paddle board or a single or double canoe to explore first. It's fun and not tiring, just sunbathing. 8. Drone: After asking the manager, I was told that you can take off from the pier as long as you don’t take pictures of the residential area. However, there are airplane routes overhead and the airplanes fly very low, so be careful not to fly the drone too high. However, there is generally nothing to take pictures of the scenery.

The coral at the entrance of the hotel is super beautiful
