Wanokaka Vacations from ￥65,900

Some of the things we wished we had known before booking are: 1.The property is VERY remote. You have to take a 15 minute ferry ride from the dock in Labuan Bajo to the hotel and it only runs three times a day - at 8 am, 10 am and 5 pm, returning about a half hour later so if you want to get off the property, you have to be prepared to be gone all day and the little town of Labuan Bajo is OK but not where I would have chosen to spend 8 hours. That also means that you pretty much have to eat breakfast and dinner at the hotel every day. The food is OK but somewhat pricey for Indonesia and limited selections. Secondly, the bungalows are very attractive but not totally sealed so expect lots of bugs in the room. The bedding is all white to you can easily see the bugs crawling on it. And the toilet, vanity and shower are outdoors. The shower does not have any door so if a boat goes past or your companion walks past, you will be visible while in the shower. They encourage you to leave the lights off as they attract bugs and monkeys so that means in the middle of the night, you have to turn on the ilght, go outside and do your business. Also, when it rains (which is pretty often), anything you leave on the vanity will get wet. There is a shelf underneath it but you have to remember to clear everything every time you use it. Third, they are very strict about no change or cancellations within two weeks of arrival so make sure you absolutely are committed. But, it's beautiful there
