Komodo Resort

A truly stunning island, crystal-clear sea and a cozy, charming bungalow created the perfect setting for rest and renewal. The privacy we enjoyed was essential to fully appreciating the natural beauty around us. But the true highlight of our stay was the service—the people who work there are the soul of the resort. Special thanks to Ellen, Riva, Ovan, and Ovan L., who impressed us with their warmth, professionalism, and sincere dedication to making every moment unforgettable. Their kindness and attention to detail made us feel truly welcomed and cared for. The surrounding coral reef is breathtaking—vibrant, diverse, and full of life. Snorkeling was one of the most fascinating activities we did. We encountered turtles, squids, reef sharks and countless species of colorful fish. The underwater world here is simply mesmerizing. The dive center is also excellent—well-equipped and run by a great team. Our dive guide, Said, stood out for his calm presence and good mood. An unforgettable experience in every way!

We stayed at the resort this past June and we had a blast! We came off from their live aboard and wanted to relax a bit before going back to China. The food was amazing and surprising for an island in the middle of the ocean. My kids loved the beach and the snorkeling... so many things to see. If we come back next time we will stay at the resort. It’s more fun for families

I booked the resort and their liveaboard in Komodo. I wanted to dive a lot with the liveaboard and then take some peace and quiet. Great experience both on the boat and at the resort. The dive guides were great, everything was always done on time and I didn’t even have to do anything to move from the boat to the island… I was treated like a king. The resort is more rustic compared to their liveaboard but it fits the peaceful island vibe. Weather was tricky but the people managed it well. Food was great both on the liveaboard and at the resort and it was good the food was different also, good for a change after a week of liveaboard. Special thanks to all everyone for making me feel like special. Top class service from picking me up from the airport to dropping me back off and saying goodbye.

We visited Komodo Resort in April with 3 generations of family - my siblings with partners, my parents plus our own 2 young daughters. Everyone of all ages had such a lovely time. The resort is gorgeous and the staff are amazing. Dive team are fantastic and always try to accommodate your dive preferences/interests. You can swim/snorkel straight off the jetty and there is even a small boat to take you out so you can basically float back with the current (and the boat driver will stay near to you which made me feel safer swimming with both young daughters). I feel very lucky to have been able to dive at such beautiful dive sites. You can order your food for particular times if you are worried about rushing before a morning dive or hungry after a night dive. The food was all yummy and enough variety. Yes things do not run smoothly 100% but all very minor things that can happen anywhere. We were a little bit apprehensive about coming to Komodo with 2 young children but we absolutely didn't have to be - Komodo Resort has everything you need and the big box of toys on the deck at the restaurant was also a life saver. A special mention to the lovely restaurant staff...they all work very very hard and always with a smile. They would always play with our kids when they had a free moment, even making them paper aeroplanes day after day! Everybody is working very hard here - from friendly management staff who knows every guests name to the guys dragging your luggage/dive tanks through the sand. We hope to one day come back.

My friend and I spent a phenomenal week aboard the Komodo Sea Dragon, thanks to the exceptional hospitality provided by Jello and his crew members. Diving: The dive masters were all highly experienced and knowledgeable. The briefing before each dive was comprehensive and the site maps were skillfully drawn. For reference, we were rookie divers with ＜50 dives when we boarded, but always felt comfortable under water, even at the sites with stronger currents. Be honest with your dive master about your skill level; they also provided constructive feedback that helped us improve. Non-diving activities: We had a few excursions on land, which included Padar island sunrise trek, Komodo dragons tour, chilling at Pink Beach, and hanging out at the Komodo Resort. They were all well organized and the guests were accompanied by a few crew members each time. Food: The meals were freshly prepared each day and consisted of a variety of Indonesian and western cuisines. There were plenty of protein, carbs, fruits and vegetable options. Most of the guests onboard had low spice tolerance, which they accommodated while making sure the food was still tasty. When I got sick mid-way through the trip, the chef cooked special meals for me. Rooms: We chose the mid-sized cabin, which easily fit two large open suitcases with space to spare. The beds were super comfortable and the housekeeping staff cleaned the rooms everyday. Although the showers had hot water, it does become more lukewarm if everyone is showering at the same time - usually after the last dive and before dinner (this might be common on all liveaboards). The room came with the necessary amenities - towels, microfiber towels, hand soap, shampoo/conditioner, body lotion, hair dryer (I have long hair and it works quite well), different types of outlets for electronics (very convenient). Service: All the crew members were polite, friendly, and attentive. They were easy to chat with and they occasionally play the guitar. :) The dive boat and the nitrox compressor had some technical issues during the trip, but the crew proactively addressed the challenges. I had a great experience on my first liveaboard and would highly recommend the Komodo Sea Dragon. Komodo was an amazing diving destination and I can't wait to be back for more adventure! Pro-tip: Make sure to come with lots of energy and be prepared to dive 3 - 4 times per day, for a total of 21 dives in addition to the land excursions.
