Every single second was just perfect. The staff was friendly and attentive, the management always looking to care for your every need, the bungalows were really cozy and the scenery was simply stunning Mention apart for Mr. McLoving, great photographer, and Cahn, hats off to him and his knowledge of where and when to find the best waves

A week on Aloita was not enough! From the moment we were met at the airport in Padang the service was outstanding. Traveling with my wife n family, Hannah 14, Dylan,10 and Lucy 10 on the Ambu Ambu ferry was a great experience. Then on arrival everything was just perfect. We had a big family bungalow with 3 rooms- all... More

Cahn the surf guide makes the trip, really friendly and knowledgeable, great waves and loved being able to surf different spots every day. thanks guys, highly RECOMEND!!! TOBY (happy guest)

Great place and fantastic crew ! One of my best surf trips to date in a resort that artfully combines the respect of pristine nature with all the luxuries one should expect from a high end resort. Will certainly be back with friends and family. Thanks again Alessandro, Steve, Cahn and all the staff.

A clean, well kept and very chilled out resort with the friendliest staff that we now consider friends :) We will definitely be back! My friends and I... More

Four of my friends and I spent the first two weeks of March at the resort. We were fortunate as we were greeted by a truly accommodating staff, a wonderful Austrailian couple, and most importantly, some wonderful surf. I can't begin to say enough about the people associated with the resort, they are remarkably kind, and devoted to making your... More

I stayed here with my boyfriend for 11 days in March at the end of a trip which included Thailand and Malaysia. The resort arranged our boat transfer from Padang and we were picked up by a lovely member of Aloita staff called Ronnie, who took us to the harbour and showed us to our cabin on the Ambu Ambu...

I spent Christmas Eve through New Year's day 2013 here, and absolutely loved it. This place is incredible, from the minute you arrive the excellent service begins. Alessandro, Nelvi, and the rest of the team do a wonderful job making sure you are comfortable throughout your stay. The bungalows are good sized with a great porch and private beach access.... More
