Our second time at the Point and it was really good to be back! We had tricky wind conditions for surfing, but Ivan was always there to advice what would be the best call. If we went to a new spot, he most of the time came with us to show the ropes so despite the wind we had some really good sessions. And if the surf wasn’t great, he’d always be up for a session of fishing. The food was still very good and always more than enough. I really love love love the breakfast, with so many options to choose so its easy to vary every morning with something different! The rooms are spacious and comfy and the hot shower is something else in the islands, we definitely enjoyed that! The house overlooks a fun surfbreak and if you didn’t feel like surfing you could just sit on the terrace with a cold drink and watch others. Laia helped us with any questions we had and with arranging transportation and other things. You really feel like part of the family with them at the Point! Until the next time!
Ivan and Laia are wonderful people and amazing hosts. I had the luck and the pleasure to stay at The Point for an entire month and I couldn’t have wished for a better place where to spend my time in the Mentawais. Staying at the point just feels like staying at home, the rooms are cozy and the food it’s top quality and varied everyday and the staff always manages to put a smile on your face. HT resort is just 5 mins walking distance and the The Point surf spot (my favorite) is right in front of the house. If you don’t feel like surfing one day you can rent a scooter to explore the island or you can get an amazing massage directly on the premise. Or you can try to challenge Ivan on a chess game! Love you guys, I’ll be back.
Extremely friendly and helpful hosts who took great care of my dad and I. Excellent food (they were able to cater for vegetarians really well) plus heaps of good knowledge about the surf and other stuff. Great location right in front of a really fun wave and just down the road from HT’s. Helped us organise travel to and from north sipora as well. Would certainly recommend!
Experiencia increíble y totalmente recomendable.
7 días aquí y se nos ha hecho muy corto… Hemos estado como en casa en la otra punta del mundo. Las habitaciones y baños, super limpias y con muchísima luz. Las zonas comunes super cómodas y con vistas increíbles al mar. La comida muy buena y en cantidades muy generosas.
La atención de los dueños es total y 24/7. Te ayudan en todo momento, tanto para la organización del viaje, como durante el viaje para elegir planes, seleccionar olas, etc.
El ambiente en la casa es súper bueno, hay BBQ night, Noche de pizzas,… y se está muy agusto.
Como digo en la primera frase, un sitio totalmente recomendable al que sin duda volveremos.
My husband and I stayed at The Point for the last part of our honeymoon! What can we say?
We had a really great stay, Laia and Ivan are amazing hosts, very welcoming; We felt like home! We had 10 days in paradise: waking up in front of the ocean, having breakfast in front of the waves! WOW!!
The staff is really great, always smiling and ready to help!
Ivan knows every inch of the ocean and he provided us with very great advices and he came surf with us!! Thanks for the patience!
Laia teaches English once a week to the children of Katiet village, we went with her and she is really amazing, I think that she is giving the kids a great opportunity for the future! Keep going!!
After this trip we really can’t wait to come back guys!!
And the food was amazing, a perfect combination between Spanish and Indonesian food! (I actually had the best mie goreng in a month)!
Thanks for everything guys!!
Absolutely recommended
I stayed at The Point for 10 days and had a fantastic time.
It’s in an awesome location on the island, the accommodation looks just like the photos (amazing, clean and pretty fancy) and the food menu is carefully curated and portioned for people surfing all day.. I didn’t eat anywhere else during my stay.
Laia and Ivan are the owners and run things like a family. I would wake up and join Laia for a workout or run, or head out surfing on one of the scooters. Ivan has an in-depth knowledge of all the breaks and can set up surf boat trips or fishing. We went to Maccas during the stay.
Overall, I think they offer one of the best options for staying on the island. Would highly recommend!
