Angel Island Eco Resort

Perfect and calm Very nice Thanks for everything.

We loved our stay on this island which is built with an ecological perspective. The manager is very friendly and sociable. The staff are very helpful and speak English. However, be careful with the shuttle service, this does not take place every day, it is worth planning the trips in advance if you want to return to Labuan.

Dreamy! A perfect getaway on a private beach. Everything is clean and trails are well groomed. Staff members are available 24 hours. Delicious food served at the waterside restaurant. Lots of choices. I found the pricing fair. We also enjoyed wine and beer.We were given snorkeling gear and spent a couple days exploring the reef. Gorgeous! Best I've seen. We even saw a little shark. We also kayaked around the island.At 5:00 pm, they put out beanbag chairs on the beach so that you can comfortably enjoy the sunset view.Our cabin was spectacular.It was quiet while we were there. We kept our cabin unlocked. Only one other couple arrived on our 2nd day, then another 2 on our 3rd day.There are plenty of places to lounge on the beach or in the library rotunda.This was like a 2nd honeymoon.Transport was all taken care of. PLUS.... a box lunch to take on the boat ride back to Labuon Bajo.

Our stay at this resort was an absolute dream, so much so that we extended our stay. Nestled on a perfect island with crystal-clear waters and coral reefs teeming with fish, the main beach offered an underwater paradise. We were thrilled to encounter a turtle while snorkeling, adding a magical touch to our trip. The food was exceptional, offering a delightful array of local and international dishes. The little touches, like freshly baked cake each afternoon, evening turndown service, and chocolates on the pillows, made our stay even more special. Watching the sunrise and sunset from different sides of the island brought a profound sense of tranquility. One evening, we witnessed a convocation of eagles on the beach, an unforgettable sight. The staff went above and beyond, providing impeccable service with a genuine smile. The owner’s hospitality made us feel incredibly welcome; her impressive knowledge of the area led to an unforgettable boat trip to Komodo, Pink Beach, Manta Point, and Taka Makassar. Every detail of our stay was crafted for the ultimate experience. We can't wait to return!

4 days of paradise in Angel Island! Me and my wife had the best time of our 4 week trip in Indonesia at this resort. The resort resembles a lost jungle with a private coral beach. The staff was always available at any time of the day, sensible with any requests and even shared some afternoon snacks. Plus, the free use of snorkeling and kayak equipment was really awesome since it was one of the most beautiful corals we’ve seen and got to enjoy in a “private” manner.Pros:The room is massive, super clean filled with amenities (expresso coffee machine, water dispenser, board games, flashlights, and other small details). The bathroom was outdoors with a small garden filled with plants, two showers and space to dry up clothing. The staff was super attentive, the room would be sprayed every afternoon to avoid mosquitos, they would close the curtains and leave a candy by the bed, it made us feel like royalty. The beach was really lovely and despite the huge plastic problem we face worldwide, they have staff picking up thrash several times per day and always welcomed any thrash we gathered ourselves while snorkeling. Plus they would upkeep the pathways free of falling leaves several times per day. There’s a lot of animal species (turtles, baby sharks, sting rays, clown fish, gropper, octopuses, etc.) you can find and we could even see new coral growing really close to the beach which is always uplifting. The silence from city noise and the 24hour sound of waves and birds really cannot be stressed enough. 💙💚Cons:We felt the food and cocktails offered did not match the room, service and ambience level we experienced, despite trying several different plates, and it could be improved, even though they accommodated every small exception we requested, like boiled potatoes.The second private beach (where you can watch the sunset) could use the same care as the main private beach. No spa/massage service available.2 recommendations to management:Firstly, a massage service would be a great add-on to anyone willing to book it additionally like the laundry service. Secondly, some thrash bins spread around could incentivize more guests to help preserving this amazing place.

(edited in the end after the answer from the resort; didn't change the scores i put in the begining, but felt like doing it for "Service" as i will justify)Cool beach for snorkeling. Kayak and SUP available. These activities were not extra charged.Really quiet, so if you are looking for something calm, this is the place.Clean room.The staff was kind (sometimes... Even though in a mechanical way... Didn't feel it as they wanted to, but more as they know they have to. Better explained in the Cons list).Let me try to resume this experience the best i can, as i know it's a really expensive one.There were 2 private beaches and a public one; as far as the last one, there were some boats, but from 8-10 it's a really cool place for snorkeling; after that period, we think it has much more people. About the private ones: the main was really nice and good for snorkeling (in 2 days, we were able to see 2 small manta rays, some small sharks, 1 turtle, beautiful coral and many fishes); the other one... How can i say it? I was expecting much more. It's the one where you can see the sunset and it just seemed like they didn't care to make it a better place to enjoy that beautiful moment of the day.Common about both: too much plastic under the sea and incoming to the beach - even though there is a team allocated at cleaning it (which dont make a complete effort), 15 min later you have more plastic floating. The resort should try to make more pressure with the surrounding areas (envolving governamental measures) to try to fight this huge problem. Also, a really nice thing to do would be to put garbage canes at the beach; if you have 4 crossed along the beach, it's easy for careful tourists to catch some from the water and throw it away.Main question about this resort: food is ok, but not the expected for the value of the stay. Also, it feels like a dirty move not to include breakfast, as 130+taxes for what it is is just taking advantage of no competition. We went around it as a way to protest and ate some cookies and fruit we took with us with some coffee they leave in the room.Was expecting more from the staff; it was the only place during 3 weeks in Indonesia that i didn't feel empathy (not talking about all of the staff, of course... But most of it, specially the ones who spoke English). For this kind of resort and money asked, it's faaaar from what it should be.> New part:I usually dont waste time on these kind of people, but i think future guests might need to know what they are dealing with.First of all: yes, i asked to include breakfast. I didn't say it felt like a "dirty move" just because you refused it; i said what i felt as you offer no other opportunities and make the price and business the way you want (as it is your right, yes, but which doesn't make it "caring"; many reviews say the same). Still, nothing justifies you sharing what i told you in a private conversation in a Public Google Review. It shows your (lack of) character.Second: i never said you didn't care about the environment; just comented what i saw from some of the staff when picking up plastics and made a suggestion about garbage canes. It's easy to criticize ocidental countries and then see people in Indonesia throwing garbage to the floor, but that would be another topic that has nothing to do with this review.Third: your check-in boat leaves at 14h. We had it organized to be there at that time and received a message saying the boat could be at 12.30 if we were ready, to what i answered (no need for you to share my private conversation, i can talk by my own, thanks) that 12.30 was a bit close but 13h would be ok because we wanted to buy some stuff to eat during our stay there. So dont talk lies when you say your boat had to change check-in hours because of us.Also, you knew where to find us, as you did actually; we were always at the beach, but you (generally speaking, not all members were like these) were only interested in talking about something to sell or our plans/hours for leaving. No empathy at all.

Having spent three nights unbitten at a different nearby island resort we were shocked to be bitten day and night by so many mosquitoes inside and outside our bungalow.  …

We stayed 5 nights in this perfect, paradisiacal place.The small island is perfectly run by Kate and her “boys”.You are never disturbed, the service, cleaning... is done without being noticed...The beach is always clean, the water and the small reef are great.We are beginners at snorkeling,... just wonderful.We could write so many things...You can relax wonderfully...Thanks for the nice time

We stayed here before covid, it's been a while but we still remember how incredible this place is. I hesitated between this an another hotel that had more of a modern resort vibe, I am so glad I went for this in the end. The photos do not do this place justice, it's paradise, a rare gem, effortlessly beautiful with no pretentiouseness, quintessentially botique. Only minor flaw was that at the time of our trip the excursions desk/dive center could have been more informative and overall more enthusiastic/helpful about day trips. We have been dreaming of going back since our last visit. I hope it has not changed.
