Archives & Museum of East Timorese Resistance
History museum
👍 A really nice and informative museum about the struggles this country had, with a brief history since the Portuguese colonization through very detailed information of the Indonesian occupation and the Timorese uprisings against it. It is a very small museum, so you wouldn’t need more than two hours...

Balibo Fort Hotel
Hotel
👍 An absolute highlight of my time in Timor-Leste. Sunset over the ocean was incredible, but the open fire and watching the Balibo film right on the spot where it happened was truly magic. The staff here are so accommodating and made our stay a truly special one.

Atauro Dive Resort- Timor Leste
Resort hotel
😠 In my 5 years of traveling I have never experienced an owner and a place as awful as this.
1: There was no electricity. The generator they use was broken I only found this out that night when trying to sleep with no working fan, and no mosquito net (as what they advertised online). I had to sleep o...

Compass Diving Atauro Eco Lodge
Lodge
👍👍 This is a two part review; the first will refer to my experience Compass and its operations, and the second will consider the long term outlook of Atauro and its marine protected area, or lack of. This is split into two reviews as there is a 4000 character limit – so if you don’t want a long review,...

Dare Memorial Museum and Cafe
Museum
👍👍 Nice cafe with a lovely view, surely worth the 20-30 minutes drive up. Cafe had an upgrade in 2021. I usually come here on weekend days after walks around Dare (the cafe can also help arrange a guide i.e. to Tuda Tiris waterfall) Cafe has good coffee and fresh juice as well as sandwiches. Dare is al...
