CChris & Fara PoskittWe spent 5 nights at this lovely resort and overall had a really enjoyable stay. The location and service were excellent, and the breakfast spread was great too. There is also a complimentary shuttle bus to the town centre, with pick-up details available at the front desk, which was very convenient.
The resort is perfectly nestled near many amenities such as restaurants, cafés, bars, spas, minimarts, a clinic, and of course the beautiful Lio Beach. We stayed in a sea-facing room, which unfortunately meant the room became sandy very quickly. Despite repeated mopping and housekeeping, the sand somehow still found its way everywhere — even onto the mattress and blankets. You could actually feel the sand while sleeping at times. One of us also fell sick on the third night and needed to see a doctor, although that may simply have been seasonal and unrelated to the resort. We still tried our best to keep the room clean and comfortable throughout the stay.
As for the occasional blackouts, guests should be prepared for a sudden loud “boom” followed by complete silence before the electricity comes back on shortly after. Power usually returned very quickly, but it could be a little startling for light sleepers. When it rained, there were not many indoor entertainment options available. The resort only had a small selection of board games such as congkak, Jenga, and chess.
That said, I truly want to compliment all the staff at Huni Lio. Every single staff member we encountered was patient, caring, warm, and genuinely helpful. Their smiles and hospitality really made a difference throughout our stay. We also enjoyed the island hopping activities. Just note that they mainly use the traditional bangka boats rather than speedboats, so the journey is slower-paced compared to private speedboat tours.
Overall, Huni Lio provided a wonderful stay thanks to its excellent service, friendly staff, and ideal location.
