Komodo Hotels with Gym

AYANA Komodo is a truly beautiful resort, set in a stunning hillside location. The coral reef directly in front of the hotel is absolutely fantastic and a real highlight. The service is excellent, the breakfast is superb, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. The entire resort is beautifully maintained and in top condition, and it is simply gorgeous at every time of day. There is an app to book activities and reserve restaurant tables during your stay. We found that annoying as you need to book almost everything one day in advance otherwise everything is fully booked. One small criticism is the kids’ club. For a resort of this standard, it feels rather limited and somewhat outdated in terms of facilities and activities. There are only a few toys, and the activities on offer are quite basic. Some do cost extra but are also not very special. This is definitely an area with room for improvement. The staff is kind.

I highly recommend this hotel. I think it's the best hotel on Komodo Island. They offer free airport shuttle service. On the day of our arrival, my child probably drank a glass of unclean orange juice and vomited and had diarrhea all over the sofa that night. The hotel picked us up and took us to the hospital early the next morning. When we returned, it was past breakfast time, but after we mentioned it to the staff, they brought breakfast directly to our room. The hotel didn't charge us any extra for any of this, not even a cleaning fee. I can only say that for a room rate of just over 2,000 yuan, we received hotel service worth over 5,000 yuan. The service is even better than the Ritz-Carlton Retreat in Bali. You can go for it without hesitation. Also, the food at that restaurant was pretty good. Although some people complained about the price, honestly, I've never seen cheap food at a five-star hotel. Isn't it all about convenience and comfort? I ordered lamb chops and fish, and both were delicious, especially the lamb chops – they were fantastic and suited to Chinese tastes! The bill came to about 500 RMB, which I think is acceptable. Also, I strongly advise everyone to buy bottled water. Some hotels provide bottled water, while others provide glass bottles. Try to drink less of the glass bottles, and definitely avoid water with ice – who knows what kind of water those ice cubes are made of? Attached are two beautiful pictures of the island for you to see. Haha.

The hotel lobby furniture looks cheap and lacks personality, but it is completely open to the sea, allowing cool sea breezes to flow through. Even during the hottest hours of the afternoon, the lobby always stays nice and cool. The Tropical Ocean View room is spacious and bright, and the doors can be fully opened to seamlessly integrate the balcony with the room. The bed is large, but the sofa is too narrow and uncomfortable to sit on. The bathroom doesn't have a bathtub, but the shower has strong water pressure and a wide spray, making it very comfortable. Breakfast is plentiful with smiling staff, though their English is quite limited, so you need to speak slowly to avoid misunderstandings or ordering the wrong items. The restaurant is mediocre; after having dinner there once, we gave up any thought of trying it again.

I recently stayed at Seaesta Komodo Hotel for 2 nights. Overall, I had a decent experience, but there are a few things to note. On the positive side, the location is quite convenient and the bed was very clean and comfortable. The staff at the front desk were also polite and helpful. However, I did encounter a few minor issues. The shower pressure is low and not enough hot. No slippers and laundry bags are provided. Overall, it’s a good place to stay, but some upgrading would greatly improve the guest experience!

I really regret not discovering this hotel sooner! The hotel has a very quiet, Southeast Asian vibe. The service is also much better than hotels near the main tourist street. They offer yoga classes, morning Zumba on the beach, and even a diving club. I stayed at three different hotels in Labuan Bajo, and if I come back, this will be my top choice. The only thing to watch out for is mosquitoes in the room, but the front desk will provide mosquito coils if you ask.

I have to say, Crowne Plaza Labuan Bajo by IHG lives up to the Crowne Plaza brand's quality control. First, let's talk about the distance. It's 700 meters from the airport. If you don't have much luggage, you can walk; just exit the airport and turn right. However, if you call a taxi, for this short distance, they will charge you 100,000 IDR (approximately 37-43 RMB, depending on the exchange rate). Even if the hotel calls a taxi for you, it's 100,000 IDR everywhere you go. It feels like a complete rip-off. Next, the environment. The environment is excellent. There are no mosquitoes, and the bedding is clean. However, there are no windows that can be opened; it's a full floor-to-ceiling window, completely sealed. Downstairs is the pool, and the pool water is very clean. Then, the service awareness. The doorman who opens the car door for you will greet you and open the door, but when you check in at the front desk, no one helps you take your luggage upstairs. When they cleaned the room the next day, the bathrobes weren't replaced, and amenities like combs and toothbrushes weren't refilled. Finally, the dining. The breakfast is decent and suits a Chinese palate. However, the hotel only provides two bottles of water. You have to ask the front desk for more, but they will only give you two bottles at a time. You can ask for more unlimited times, but it's always just two bottles at a time. Other than that, it's quite good. I recommend a barbecue restaurant: The Smoke House Komodo | BBQ & Grill | Beer On Tap. The food is very good, but it's quite expensive, approximately 400-1000 RMB.

An absolutely unforgettable getaway! What a special place this resort is! We spent 5 wonderful nights at Sudamala Seraya and can’t wait to return. It’s truly a little piece of paradise for a relaxing stay. The team at the resort is wonderful and looks after the guests very well. Special thanks to Nardi and Evelina for their attentiveness and service at the Lomak restaurant!

The lobby view is stunning. The mountain view room doesn't include a complimentary airport shuttle service. The hotel is a 5-minute drive from the airport. A pre-booked airport drop-off costs 150,000 IDR, and the shuttle is 140,000 IDR. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the Komodo boat pier. The hotel requires a 1,000,000 IDR deposit, payable in cash or by card. The rooms have small balconies with town views. The rooms are clean and hygienic, and the TV offers both Chinese and English channels. Complimentary biscuits are provided. Breakfast and the swimming pool are on the 6th floor; there's a good variety and the food tastes good. The seafood BBQ buffet for dinner is 400,000 IDR per person, starting at 6 PM. If you go late, you might miss out on crab. It's considered average value for money locally. Drinks are limited during dinner; sugar-free cola or water require additional payment. Free luggage storage is available. A special note: there's about an hour of prayer around 4 AM; it's recommended to use the earplugs provided by the hotel for sleeping.

Pros: 1. The staff were incredibly enthusiastic and provided excellent service. 2. There's a private snorkeling area, which was a great experience, especially since we didn't book a liveaboard. Cons: 1. No internet, no internet, no internet! Apart from a few rooms on the hilltop, most rooms have extremely poor mobile signal (you can barely receive messages). WiFi is only available at the front desk. The management's excuse is that they ”don't want external noise to disturb guests,” but it's one thing if I have it and choose not to use it, and quite another if I need it and it's not available. If you need to stay consistently connected, this hotel is definitely not for you. 2. Prices are quite high. Since it's on a private island, a slight markup is understandable, but sometimes the prices are ridiculously high. For example, the hotel organized a beach buffet for 700k Indonesian Rupiah, which is about 300+ RMB after tax. The seafood options were only grilled shrimp, squid, and fish (the first two were served very slowly), and the only meat was grilled chicken skewers. In contrast, on the main island, we bought two large lobsters, two mantis shrimp as thick as a woman's arm, and even got two free squids, all for just over 700 RMB.

Honestly, aside from the fantastic central location and the friendly staff, this place is bad. The beds are decent, but the bathroom is horrible. No hot water, it's super dirty (there was a huge cockroach when we arrived), mold, and leaks from the ceiling and the AC. The breakfast was also bad, in my opinion. There are insects literally everywhere, especially ants. When I woke up the next morning, my bed was full of them, and I even found them in my bag. On top of all that, there was a power outage.
