    Great friendly staff who helped us with our many questions. I was traveling with a friend and our 3 children and having our own little apartment meant we could all share. The complex is lovely and quiet with a large pool.

    The staff are so friendly and speak English very well so they can give you advice on where to go and what to do while in Timor Leste. There is a handy restaurant with so many options. This is a great place for families.

Excellent construction, spacious apartments, very quite, near the ocean front, friendly staff, excellent restaurant with room service, swimming pool, free transfers to and from the airport. We are located near the airport, the American Embassy and 4 or 5 km from the center of the city. Now Arbiru Beach Resort, is not isolated anymore in terms of transportation. Our guests now can call a new taxi service 24 hours, with high standards of service and security and using a meter. We are now able to help you with your tours around the country thru an associated tour operator, Eco Discover
I born in Timor Leste and lived several years in Portugal and in Australia where I studied, Business Administration, Human resource management and a Criminology Postgraduate. In 2000 I returned to Timor Leste where I worked for the United Nations mission and in 2006 build my hotel Arbiru Beach Resort. I have a particular and strong interest in helping develop the Tourism to Timor Leste, improve the infrastructures and services to visitors with better travel fares, better information of our country potential, better human resources, and a culture of hospitality. In fact i am the President of the Tourism association A.E.T.T.L. in Timor Leste.
In a quite small fishing community, near the beach with open spaces for jogging and swimming with excellent restaurants at my hotel Arbiru and nearby Ocean View restaurant.
