Fodor's Expert Review Luwansa Beach Hotel

Designed as a quirky grouping of adjoined "villas," along with standard rooms in the main building, this new beachfront hotel is set on the edge of the small but rapidly growing resort town of Labuan Bajo, with easy access to the airport and restaurants in town. Rooms are large and sparklingly clean, with high ceilings, attractive furnishings, modern bathrooms, flat-screen TV, and air conditioning. Villas have balconies and a private entrance leading to the pool and beach—a big plus that gives them the feel of a resort rather than a hotel.
