Hotels near Haloban

It was an amazing experience. To stay in Palambak during the law season was a good idea, the weather was still good and there were no other turists. The staff was very nice and friendly and meals were excellent. The owner, Claudine, was very helpful to organize the privat transport to the island as well as from Singkil to Toba lake and she was answering all the questions with patience. The only negative moment was the navigation to/from the island, but I don't like boats anyway 😀

Kimo Resort is a true paradise island with coconut trees all around, golden beaches and crystal clear water. The bungalows ( superior ) are wonderfully placed on the sea front just meters from the water and next to the lovely bar and restaurant area. Snorkeling around the coral reef just off the beach was magical. We do hope that Willy the owner of this resort manages to continue to look after the reef. Bungalows were spacious and well designed for two adults with a comfortable bed and a simple, but beautifully designed bathroom.The restaurant served simple but very tasty food including bbq fish and vegetables. Riska and her team of staff were so welcoming and friendly and time and again went out of their way to make us feel at home. We stayed for 6 days and loved it. This really is a little piece of paradise.

Nothing but love for this place! Tailana is truly paradise. Accommodation is basic, but offers all you need (and more actually). There’s even wifi at the restaurant - didn’t expect that. They offered beers. And a diving centre just opened! So many great spots for diving, and beautiful snorkelling right in front of your bungalow. I recommend booking the triangle bungalow, because they are newly renovated and have amazing ocean view. Tailana is our highlight of Sumatra, we wish we never left…

We travelled with our kids (1,5 and 3 years old at the time of travel). The location is great: on a remote island, nestled on the side naturally sheltered from the wind. During our stay (mid-February), there were a few strong night storms, but they were pleasant and caused absolutely no problems or damage. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is nice, and the mosquito nets are wide, new, and without any holes. We loved the remote feel of the location. We typically spent our days at the resort or on the beach just around the corner - this beach ranks among the top three best beaches we have ever seen and is completely deserted. With palm trees on white sand and shallow water at around 30 degrees Celsius. We particularly enjoyed the dinners - we had fresh fish every evening (we mentioned our love for fish upon arrival). Deni went fishing every afternoon and prepared fresh fish each evening, along with really tasty vegetables. The owner, Deni, is very kind. He is a great cook and made our boat excursion truly memorable - we saw a manatee and many turtles. He arranged our transportation, promptly replied to all our messages, and truly deserves recognition for his outstanding hospitality.

It’s the only property on the island, it’s basic, but comfortable, only the sweet sounds of the waves, and the nice view in the reef
