Fantastic resort. Luxurious accommodation with very comfortable beds and no internet in the room which allowed for a proper digital detox.  The house reef was healthy with a superb range of fish and even spotted a turtle swimming one morning with the water sparkling clean. The dive centre is fully equipped with free use of snorkels, kayaks and stand up paddle boards.  Really felt like we could have been in the Maldives where we have had similar resort experiences but this was a fraction of the price. The restaurant served delicious gourmet dishes with a great blend of western food and Indonesian. Breakfast was not a buffet which I loved.  A hidden gem and a great spot to see the Komodo Dragons and the pink beaches.

Really enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend to friend or visit again if I ever visit KOMODO again. The staffs are cheerful, the rooms are nice, the food is not bad. We were luck to stay during the New Year Eve and there are a special celebration dinner with live band and firework, which is really a memorable experience. The beach is ok, you can go further and heard there is a chance to see turtles, however recently it is jelly fish season so we didnt snokel for long, but overally very happy about the stay.

Gorgeous little island! Snorkeling, sunset cocktails, clear waters! The resort does a fantastic job keeping the coral alive and beautiful. They are strict with guests swimming, but it’s worth all the beautiful fish! You bungalow is right on the beach! Relaxing and stunning views!

Very beautiful resort! I would only recommend staying 2-3 nights because the price to make it back to the main island is quite expensive and you will runout of things to keep you busy here. We stayed at the sister resort Komodo in Labaun Bajo the first night to easier make our Komodo Island tour and the resort was more than willing to accommodate us. Also the manager at Seraya was very helpful in finding us alternative transportation that was cheaper to make our flight out to Bali.

The hotel offers a range of services (hotel transfer, via speedboat, snorkeling in their exclusive coral reef, etc. ) and the staff is very welcoming, making travelers feel special guests. The island is perfect for relaxation, allowing guests to connect with other guests if they want, as the number of rooms/bungalows is limited. The beach and coral reef are immaculate and very safe from dangerous currents allowing close approach with colorful fish, sea turtles and other tropical marine creatures. Facilities are well maintained and the limited wifi (mostly accessible from the restaurant area) means that you can stay isolated from the external world and connect to it only when you want to. Price is very reasonable for the excellence of the service provided. Ideal for couples or single travellers looking for tranquility.

The resort is on a private island and has some of the most scenic views of sunrise and sunset, the water on the beach is clear and flooding with coral and marine life. I was lucky to see a baby shark, rays, lion fish, turtle and so many more types of fishes right from the Jetty and shallow snorkeling.

I thought there would be mosquitoes, so I brought a lot of mosquito repellent. I didn't expect that not only the natural environment here is good, but the resort is also very clean. The water in the swimming pool may be sea water, which is salty. It is suitable for families with children, especially small children. The snorkeling resources are very rich and you can go into the water three or five times a day.

The service on the island is great. You need to bring enough cash or visa card to get on the island. It's really hard to get there without a card. Fortunately, there are Chinese tourists who help. Snorkeling is first-class

I love everything here. My kids can't stop snorkeling for 6 hours every day. In the morning, after the tide recedes, we see beautiful corals and schools of colorful fish near the trench (we also saw lionfish today). After the tide rises in the afternoon, Mr./Ms. Turtle will come to the coral reef to feed. At night, the "timid" sea urchins come out again [snickering]. The food on the island is also very good, especially the dinner dish called "Catch of the day", which is the main dish made with fish caught that day. Tuna fish is my favorite. I recommend you to try it. The sound of the waves and the birds under the eaves also cured our sleep problems. We sleep deeply until dawn every day [sun]. The staff is also very friendly, the email communication is smooth and the route to the pier is clearly guided. It is very cost-effective.

Hygiene: I can only give a bad review. If you want to book, remember to book a room with a mosquito net. The room type we booked was finally given a room that had not been used for a long time, so that the sheets were covered with small insects falling from the ceiling. Environment: The natural geographical environment is very good, which is unquestionable. The hotel is built on the beach, and each room is an independent cottage. It is a few steps into the sea. You can snorkel, take a boat to the depth, swim and paddle. It couldn't be more convenient, the water is really clear, and the snorkeling experience is very good. Service: There are not many hotel waiters. Although it can be seen that everyone wants to do their best, the efficiency is not high, which forced us to cancel our original itinerary and finally transfer to ** Island Hotel, which is very troublesome. Because of the mosquito problem, we were provided with a change of room, on house lunch and transfer to ** Island Hotel, which can be regarded as solving the problem. But the tossing that should not have happened, because the internal communication efficiency and the response rate to customers are too low, led to unnecessary tossing. Originally, we stayed on the island for 2 nights, but we could only transfer to ** Island, and the experience was not good. Facilities: The hotel has its own marine equipment and facilities for free rental, which is quite convenient. The rental center cooperates with a local diving club and provides one-day tours that depart directly from the hotel pier. Otherwise, the hotel building is relatively old, but it is actually better managed and the service quality has been improved, which is still very good.

Exceeded expectations. Small but very good, with the best snorkeling resources. The coral sea is right outside the door, and the natural resources are rich. This island is great to watch the sunset, the sunrise, and snorkel three or four times. The hotel's one-day tour service is good, you can see the dragon, the manta, and the pink beach, 1200 per person, expensive but good service, and the most important wooden boat transfer must be booked in advance, otherwise 800 will be gone.

As a Chinese, I want to write some reliable reviews. 1: The service staff on the island really look down on Chinese people. The waiter laughed out loud at the sunset cafe because of my poor English. The hotel waiter yelled **** because I brought something with me. (So I will never come to this hotel again in my life) 2: The only restaurant on the island is very expensive. A hamburger is about 100 RMB. A 20% service fee is also charged. (The food is almost the same price and not very delicious) 3: You need to be very punctual when boarding and disembarking. It takes 40 minutes or about 1 hour to get from Komodo Island to the hotel by boat. (If you are late, you will have to pay about 800 RMB to take a private yacht.) 4: The soundproofing is very poor. If you don’t mind after reading the above description, I suggest you book a private one (a single-family house will not be noisy). 5: It is not recommended to watch the sunrise. 6: The snorkeling equipment is not very easy to use (water in the goggles, water leaking in the breathing port, and foggy goggles). Finally, I must say that since you despise and hate Chinese people so much, don’t make money from Chinese people, okay👎

The service is very good, free airport pick-up and boat to the hotel, but the time is limited. The snorkeling environment is great, better than some snorkeling spots on the Komodo Island day trip. I strongly recommend staying at the hotel. You can go to the bar to watch the sunset at sunset. The room is a little small, and there is only wifi signal in the lobby. The food tastes average. You can go to the next door Seraya Resort to eat large portions and good prices, but it’s a bit scary to walk at night. Overall, it’s worth a try. Recommended

There is no water heater. I asked the customer service to send one but they didn't. I had to go to the front desk to urge them. The toilet was blocked and it stank. The shuttle boat was not clear where it was and I almost missed it. The food was expensive but the taste was okay.
