Komodo Resort

Lovely 3 night stay at the island. Staff were great; helpful, friendly but not intrusive. Food was fresh, tasty with a good variety. Beautiful views with a relaxed vibe. Villa was well maintained, spacious enough and authentically decorated. Nice bathroom with good shower, toiletries, towels, etc. As the island is near reef, the sand was a little rough to walk on but the loungers were very comfortable and private. There were a couple of “private island problems” ie one of the bar staff was off sick so for 2 of the 3 nights the only drink served was beer or wine at the bar. We didn’t dive but overheard a lot of great experiences from others who had. Breakfast and dinner were sociable and buzzy but otherwise very quiet and relaxed. Just over an hour from the airport between the car and boat.

We LOVED our time at Komodo Resort. We stayed in a spacious and beautiful Grand View room, which I highly recommend (or the Grand Beach). Food is served a la cart and was delicious. Chef Nyoman and server Yanto took very good care of me, as I have a shellfish allergy and all of my meals were specially prepared. Both of them were excellent and part of the reason this resort was so special. We are snorkelers and could not have asked for more with the house reef. It was incredible with healthy and beautiful coral and fish. We arranged a private day trip to Komodo to see the dragons, Padar for the viewpoint and pink beach, and then a wonderful snorkeling spot. The nightly stunning sunsets made for a great happy hour show. It was really hard to leave this fabulous place, and I am so grateful we could spend time here.

First, I would like to mention the front desk manager of Komodo Resort, Rizal, who arranged our pick ups and drop off to/from our hotel for our daly diving and made sure our day trip to his resort was the best we could ask for. His kindness and profesionalism was greatly appreciated. We had the oportunity to dive with their scuba diving facilities , The Neptune Scuba Diving Komodo", last August and we had the best experience we could ask for. The Diving Club is conveniently located inside of the resort. The Manager in charge of the Diving Club, Sara Gabliardi, was excellent, professional and made our diving experience unforgettable. The rental equipment was top-notch and Nitrox is available. Our Master Diver, Engky, went the extra mile to show us the best sites. We saw plenty of giant mantas rays (mobulas), four different types of sea turtles, a dubong and even a pygmy seahorse!! If you are staying in another hotel or resort they will go in the early morning to pick you up and drop you off at the end of your diving day. We will definitely come back! Thank you!

I wasn’t stay at the resort but joined liveaboard. Crews are friendly and professional ! I had Fully enjoyed my one week on the boat with lovely sea creatures and beautiful stars during the night. Also every day’s Food was amazing.

Stayed for a week diving and loved this hotel. Its location is perfect with so many dive sites 30/40 minutes away. The bungalow rooms were lovely with views of the sea from the balcony. We did originally book the presidential suite but were very disappointed to find it had no outdoor space or sea view as blocked by office/bar buildings. Fortunately we could move to a regular room. Food was good and service excellent. The diving was all amazing.

We just completed 6 full days of amazing diving looked after by a truly wonderful team. A special thanks to our guides Ben, Ray and Akry who looked after all of our needs. A special mention to Akry to took video and photos of us after I sadly lost my GoPro. The team went over and above to make the diving so enjoyable. Thank you very much.

View from rooms of sea very good as is service of staff at hotel including diving snorkelling and Komodo-viewing treks. Restaurant food limited and not great. Beach full of sharp coral so cannot walk out into sea off beach. Would possibly try a different resort next time; recent management change may explain food imperfections

The safari was very nice, the crew was courteous, attentive, helpful and simply nice, and always in a good mood! The diving was great, the reefs were mostly intact and we saw many small and large fish, we also found the drift dives great (sometimes only recommended for experienced divers), only the visibility was a little worse than expected. The divemaster Beni was attentive, helpful and was able to show us a lot. The only thing that could be criticised is that we didn't cover much distance on the safari. We had already dived most of the dive sites from the resort, so there would certainly have been a lot more to see. Perhaps it is not usual to combine the hotel and the safari? It was also a bit of a shame that there were no cocktails, only beer and soft drinks, and some things like peanut butter and toast ran out during the trip. The food was excellent and the cabins were nice, the bathroom was modern and everything was always clean and tidy. We would also like to emphasise the flexibility in planning the last day, which was great!

Rooms are spacious (we appreciated the aircon at night), with an amazing outlook and steps to the beach. There are great sunset views from the top of the hill behind the resort. Transfers were well organised right from the airport pickup. Food was good and plentiful, and the beach bar was a great place to relax. Dive guides were professional and knew the sites well. Diving was great, with several manta sightings as well as some macro dives. The one recommendation is to request to do 3 dive excursions without returning back to the resort. Otherwise the standard schedule is 2 dives in the morning returning for lunch. We found the afternoon dive is always at the same beach, which we dived 5 times in 5 days (albeit twice at night).
