Lock in a great price for Novo Turismo Resort & Spa – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

I chose to stay at the place again for a simple reason. It is one of the best in town. Staff, facilities, rooms, food, location, cleanliness - all is very good.

Jaimem, Georgia

Loved being next to the water and getting the sea breeze. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was varied, with local fresh fruit most days. The pool is great and never too busy for laps. Fabulous Gin and Tonics each night on the beach front looking at the great sunsets.

Megan, Australia

The hotel has the best amenities in town. Apart of the management personnel, the hotel staff is amazing.

Anonymous, Georgia

Facilities were great, nice pool, good gym, enjoyed a massage. Location is near a shop which is good for the essentials and a restaurant across the road which was good. Wifi included. We stayed there for one night on the way to Atauro Island and it was comfortable.

Tara, Australia

Close to town and easy to get transport. The staff were great, enjoyed the pool and the spa facilities

Linda, Australia

- Good hotel in the center of Dili, located right next to the sea shore. Very easy to walk to anywhere from it. - The facilities were nice with a big, clean swimming pool. - The service and staff was good. - Breakfast was OK.

Yfaingna, Singapore

Great hotel, pool and AMAZING STAFF! A nice complimentary breakfast and much more. We’ll stay there again given another chance

Wayne, United States of America

Very good location, very friendly and helpful staff. Nice pool in the center of the Hotel.

Julian, Germany

The hotel restaurant is directly on the beach. While the hotel does not recommend swimming in the water, it is stunning at sunset. The spa does a great massage and facial if you have time. The check-in staff were amazing and helped so much with planning activities on a limited time schedule and helped get me to Barry's Place on Arturo Island for some amazing snorkeling. Be sure to check the timings though for the boats since they have very limited departures from the island.

Melissa, Singapore

This is our third stay at Novo Turismo. Again received excellent service. Room is large and bed is very comfortable. Our room was on the ground floor so could walk from the patio to the pool. Dined in the restaurant in the hotel and also the beachfront cabana over the road. They serve great pizzas and bill can be added to your room. Will stay here again.

Tried to coordinate an airport pick up and communication was poor. I didn’t hear back from the hotel so got a taxi, when I arrived they said they were at the airport to collect me.
Facilities were great, nice pool, good gym, enjoyed a massage. Location is near a shop which is good for the essentials and a restaurant across the road which was good. Wifi included. We stayed there for one night on the way to Atauro Island and it was comfortable.

“Pleasant hotel in Dili, but don't expect value for money”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Garden & Pool View
- • Stayed 1 night
- Commercial hotel lacking style, soul or authenticity. - The rooms could use some better maintenance, cleaning and refurbishment, as there were weird liquid spots and traces on the walls and in the bathroom, stains on the sheets and about 20 mosquitoes in the room when walking in. - We booked a "pool view" room, but all we could see was a grey wall, and they would not want to change our room as the "pool view" rooms were sold out (untrue). - Tiny towels. - The receptionists were not very helpful or reliable (misquoted taxi fares, didn't keep us updated or called back when asked, etc.). - The hotel is lacking a first aid kid (theirs was empty - which is illegal to not have in most places, especially for a hotel!). - Their airport shuttle is 10 USD per person when a taxi (they can call for you) is 8 USD total.

Breakfast was just OK. Advertised hotel transfers, never got them, only saw both courtesy vehicles move twice. They were parked up on arrival & departure. Laundry as expensive as replacing the garments.
Overall very good, easily 4 star. Huge pool. Super clean rooms. Bidet. No tourists.

Despite 2 confirmations we were not picked up from the airport. The staff while lovely and polite were not properly trained and this showed in their lack of knowledge about the hotel. Payment preferred was VISA but when that card failed they did accept Mastercard
The pool was lovely and refreshing and the room was spacious and clean.
