Komodo Resort

The trip was absolutely unforgettable! We spent seven incredible days aboard the boat, diving into crystal-clear waters, hiking to breathtaking viewpoints, and enjoying the wonders of the islands in Indonesia... 1. Diving and cruise design Jello, the Cruise Director, was the heart and soul of the trip. His enthusiasm, knowledge of the area, and attention to detail made the whole experience feel seamless. He was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and ensure everyone enjoyed the trip. By the way, the diving was spectacular! The waters around Komodo are teeming with vibrant coral reefs, colorful fish, and also manta ray or reef shark. The dive instructors were professional and patient, making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, whether you were a beginner or experienced diver. Jello is my dive guide. He is always patient and considerate, protecting us from the strong current under water. Each dive felt like stepping into an underwater wonderland. I really enjoyed it. 2. Food The food onboard was nice! Every meal was freshly prepared, with a variety of dishes that catered to different tastes. The chefs did an excellent job of keeping things interesting and delicious. 3. Cabins The cabins were cozy and comfortable, and the rooms were kept clean throughout our stay. We had plenty of space to relax and unwind, with windows offering scenic views of the sea and surrounding islands. 4. Crew The crew was incredibly friendly and professional. Bonne, Max ...everyone was attentive and went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable. They were always ready to lend a hand and made sure everything ran smoothly, from dive preparations to meals. Everything about the trip was perfect. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to experience the magic of Komodo!

Positives - I cannot speak highly enough of the dive team. Our dive instructor, the dive centre manager and all of the crew were absolutely wonderful. We completed our advanced diving certificate during our stay and couldn't have asked for a better instructor. 5+ stars for the dive team. The diving itself was out of this world, and we were lucky enough to see many turtles, rays, sharks and more species of beautiful fish and coral than you can imagine, including a file snake near the mangroves! We were out of season, but also saw manta rays on the journey back to the resort from Komodo National Park. The house reef is spectacular, one of the best snorkelling sites I have ever visited, and it was mere meters away from your beach chalet. Again, we saw turtles, sharks, rays and plenty of fish. Sadly I corrupted the memory card of my GoPro, so don't have any footage of the underwater life. For anyone taking a trip to Komodo to see the dragons, I cannot recommend enough staying here, or going on a liveaboard trip. I don't think you would have the same experience if staying in Labuan Bajo. For me, the highlight was not seeing the dragons, but staying in/around the national park. Each night, the sunsets were by far the most beautiful I have ever seen, and the ability to snorkel an incredible site whenever you wanted was a dream. From our chalet, a beautiful kingfisher would land every day in the tree and catch its dinner. The chalets themselves were lovely, not super luxury, but very nice and perfectly clean. You can't ask for much more in such a remote location. The proximity from your bed to beach/reef was exceptional. There's also a trail up the hill behind the resort, which I would recommend at sunset. Negatives - I only have one negative, but unfortunately it's a big one. My boyfriend got the worst food poisoning of his life from this resort, which left him ill for almost an entire month and requiring antibiotics for a number of weeks when back in the UK. Sadly, the 32 hour journey back to London was not a fun one. On the morning we left, the restaurant staff (who were wonderful) came over to tell me that the meal I had eaten the night before had given another two guests food poisoning. By some miracle, I did not like the look of the chicken kebabs and hadn't eaten them, otherwise I would also have been very ill on the journey home. You are miles away from anywhere to access medicine, so make sure you bring everything you might need with you. There's a pharmacy near the resort shop, so stock up as we ran out early on! Sadly it also impacted how much my partner could enjoy the diving, snorkelling and resort, and I spent the last days enjoying it mostly alone. That being said, I would absolutely return for the diving, staff and location. Perhaps I would just be vegetarian next time... Given a number of people became ill during the week we stayed here, I think they need to double check the standards in the kitchen. Although I haven't seen oth

We stayed here for three days in January 2025. We were blown away by every aspect of this resort, it was a wonderful escape for us. The staff were incredibly professional and welcoming. The manager, Heri, checked in with us to make sure we were satisfied and to make recommendations during our stay. Sara led on excellent scuba diving experiences and Walter took us on an amazing expedition to see Komodo Dragons and breathtaking snorkel diving with Manta rays. We wished we had stayed here longer. Out of all the places we stayed throughout our trip on Indonesia, this was the best, hands down. We will return.

This resort is located on a nice small island just 30 min by speedboat from Labuan Bajo. It is almost in the National Park and close to the diving sites and sites of interest.It is not crowded place but peaceful one. It is situated on a nice sandy beach with crystal clear waters. My room was in a beach bungalow. It was clean, air-conditioned, served twice a day. Bathroom was clean with body soap and hair shampoo friendly for the environment. It also had a mini bar. The stuff is very attentive and kind. The restoran offers a good selection of variety foods for many tastes. Food was fresh, tasty and nicely designed. There is a solid selection of wines. One has to be aware it is not easy logistically to supply the restaurant with food and drinks but it covered very solid selection. The WIFI setvice was very good. Within the resort there is a dive shop Neptun that organized daily dives to nearby dives sites. Well organized and attentive to divers and taking care of diving equipment for you. The resort also offers excursions to Komodo National Park and Rinca to see the dragons and flying foxes ( bats). Overall it was a very nice place for a vacation for people who appreciate peaceful places, privacy, scuba-diving, snorkling, kayaking but also require kind individualized approach. A very good value for the money. At the end the resort manager and the dive site manager Sara greeted me personally which was a nice gesture.
