Beautiful Island, great beach, fantastic house reef, food is plentiful and good.

Poor communication with Guests, very expensive tours (more expensive than from Labuan bajo being 1/3 of the way), could keep the beach cleaner with a simple effort once a day!

The island is a paradise and the hotel makes the best out of the circumstances (there is no fresh water in the island, the hotel has to make it!). The coral reef is stunning, one of the best in the park, the rooms are spacious and clean, the food is good, staff is so nice and competent. if you want to relax, snorkel, dive and enjoy the nature this is the best place in Komodo. I read some comments and I think people do not understand what it takes to provide services in a secluded island, for example the person that does not understand how tides work and thinks that the beach is not accessible, or the request for a pool….there are many big resorts in other parts of Indonesia.

I would go back tomorrow but I worry I could not afford it if the property plans to transform this unique place into a luxury resort for people that just want to show off about being in a “private”paradise island and not enjoy the nature and the sea.

Amazing house reef, amazing diving.

The place is just paradise! Amazing island with an amazing coral reef just in front of the resort. I wish we could have stayed more days. The staff is great.

Nothing, it was perfect!

- proximity to National Park is invaluable; hassle-free trips to see the dragons, snorkel etc - superb house reef - diverse and healthy corals, turtles, cuttlefish, and black tip sharks alongside a plethora of colourful reef fish. You see different sea life every time. - most of the staff are wonderfully hospitable and helpful; always cheerful - designated sun loungers per room - unlimited safe drinking water provided - some nice food, especially on occasions when ala carte offered - great massage available (if you like strong pressure) - bed and pillows comfortable, proper mosquito net - evening turndown service - very few mosquitos/biting bugs - limited lights around the property at night makes for amazing stargazing

- no notification that the gym would be shut during our stay - asked months in advance for quietest rooms; got the 2 loudest! Ours was next to a hut construction site which was disturbingly loud from 730am (alongside 6am noise from scuba boat preparations). Our sons' room was directly next to kitchen, diving prep area and staff break area. We were denied any room change during our 6-night stay. We did get free massages as recompense. . . - no hot water our first 2 days; intermittent thereafter Less serious downsides: - bungalow & furnishings quite run down/tired - food/buffet inconsistent quality - some really delicious, some poor. Numerous items on wine and cocktail menu not available - best to ask in advance before selecting. - the path for staff runs behind the bungalows and can be quite noisy (and odd to see lots of human shadows passing by through the shower's opaque window) - for the luxury price, should include use of snorkelling kit and basic park fee - several house cats roaming around, so few geckos and other small land creatures to spot :-(. They can be annoyance at mealtimes: both my husband and one of my sons were scratched by the cats without provocation. We saw other guests similarly being pestered. I suppose they will help keep potential rodent issues in check . . . - there did not seem to be a person in overall charge of the place onsite. The staff did well to coordinate things, although we did wait over an hour for our food one evening when it was ala carte rather than buffet.

My family of 3 spent 8 days here to visit the Komodo National Park islands and scuba dive the area. The location of this resort is superb...on a private island closer to the national park than any other resort so park visits and diving were close and convenient. The dive staff were fantastic and I would like to acknowledge Michael and Julia in particular for ensuring our dives were all fantastic. The house reef in front of the resort is one of the best I have seen...great for snorkelling. Our 2br beach bungalow was very spacious and comfortable...air con worked surprisingly well, and no real issue with creepy crawlies getting into the room🙂 The food was pretty good overall and the staff...especially the 2 gentlemen in the restaurant who were always smiling and helpful. Staying here was a fabulous experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to dive and explore Komodo NP.

If I have to pick something I would say it would be wonderful to have a swimming pool as the days are very hot!

The resort is beautiful and very peaceful with an amazing reef right off the beach. We did our advanced PADI certification and loved the diving and the tuition from Mikael. The food was great and the staff were so attentive. The bartender was also fantastic and we loved the cocktails! Thanks for a lovely start to our honeymoon!

This is an amazing resort. It is really beautiful & you have a lot of space and a breathtaking house riff. The staff & the guest are very friendly, helpful and great to talk to. The diving sites are amazing as well as the organisation of the dives and tours. They always tried to help you. We were really lucky with our room, because we didn't have any construction side near us & didn't hear a thing.

The are starting to build new huts between remaining huts, so they can have more guests. They build them really close, so you don't have so much space anymore and it is gonna be more crowded. :(
