Sape is a town and district in Sumbawa in Nusa Tenggara, eastern Indonesia.
Nice clean Warung. Serves Bakso and Soto Ayam. Comes with a big plate of plain rice.
This place serves a lot of fish dishes, but also mie goreng and nasi goreng (not on the menu, just ask for it). There is also an internet café inside if you need to wait for the ferry.
Nice losmen, about 1 km from the harbour. The rooms for Rp75,000 have fan and squat toilet, the ones for Rp150,000 have AC and Western toilet. The beds in the AC rooms are better than in the cheaper ones. They serve breakfast (not included) and dinner, if you order it 1 day in advance.
It has basic cheap rooms, with bathroom inside. The bathroom includes a squat toilet and no shower.
From Bima you can take a bemo (around Rp 15,000, last one 17:00). This will take you to Sape. If you need to go to the ferry, ask for Labuhan Sape (that's the pier). You can also charter a bemo for Rp 200,000.
