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!

We recently stayed in room N26 at Komodo Resort and it was an incredible experience. The room offered perfect privacy and was impeccably clean. The food was outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond with their exceptional service. Snorkeling was absolutely fantastic, showcasing the beauty of the marine life. Overall, it was an amazing stay and we highly recommend this resort for anyone seeking a top-notch getaway.

Despite the large selection of hotels to a significantly cheaper price in Labuan Bajo, we decided to stay at Komodo Resort - mainly for its isolated location and proximity to the dive sites.Arrival&transfer: we arrived early in the morning, pickup from the airport and were sent to the resort office to wait for the free boat transfer around noon. Had to wait a couple of hours but there are plenty of cafes around to kill time. Once arrived at the resort, a welcome drink and iced towel were provided. The check in was a bit unorganized but it worked.Room: we had the cheapest room type, which luckily was located at the far end of the resort on the southern side. It was quiet, but our room shared a wall with our neighbor and the sound proofing was non-existent. We could hear our neighbor talking, showering etc. For some reason the room felt damp, especially in the bathroom. I would say the standard of the room did not correspond to a 4 star hotel. More like 2-3 stars. Maybe the other room types are better.Diving: The diving was organized by Neptune Diving, also the only dive shop on the island. 1 Dive = IDR 1M which is definitely on the pricier side, but ok since we were on an island and the dives were all boat dives. The dive guides were super friendly and provided detailed briefing. Make sure you plan your dive schedule upon arrival to reserve spots to the popular dive sites. They run a very strict schedule.Food: A la carte for all three meals, selection ok, quality varies.Service: everyone we had interaction with was very friendly and helpful.House reef: great condition, boat drop off at either north or south tip depending on the current and drift back to the pier. Very easy to snorkel and great visibility.Day trip to Komodo islands: there are day trips running either full day or half day, both require minimal participants(6-8 people). If you want to see the dragons make sure you do your planning so that you don’t end up with too few people to start the trip.All in all, it was a decent 1 week vacation at the Komodo Resort. The strong points are definitely the location and the reef. The facility and the accommodation are less ideal but ok as a substitute for liveaboards.

On the day of our arrival I immediately asked to change the sheets, as the ones that were there were dirty.The first thing the boy who came to replace them did was place the new sheets on one of our suitcases, obviously filthy, as we were arriving from the airport/van/boat and another 15 days of travel, but it mattered little, given that 10 seconds later the sheets had already fallen to the floor, onto a dirty floor that was only washed again after the bed had been made.This anecdote, just to make you understand that this is how it works here. The level of preparation and hygiene is impressive.For the first few days, my wife and I looked in disbelief at the serenity of many other Italian guests, but later, getting to know someone, we understood that there had been inconveniences for everyone. Costs charged that are not due, up to irritation caused by dirty sheets or more likely infested with insects or other.The dives were managed well on the boats, by the local guides, but those in charge of the diving on land (two people, one of which was Italian) had a very detached attitude, of profound antipathy.The guides' English was not always understandable and it was difficult to understand some briefings. In this regard, remember that they are almost always drift dives.On my last dive I got a traumatic ear infection (I couldn't compensate), which I had to treat with a week of antibiotics. In the office they told me that the discomfort I felt would go away on its own...At the restaurant some dishes were decent. The fried ones were greasy (never seen such a level of oil). The tomato on the pizza was some kind of Ketchup. Overall, however, I would say sufficient, but with a special mention for the pasta with pesto. Exceptional.Our room was the ugliest of all (room 26). One of the only two rooms inside a "sea view" Bungalow.Last in line, to reach it in the evening there wasn't even any lighting on the path, in fact, at the end there wasn't even a path.The first time I saw it I told both Komodo resort and Booking.com that it was the first time I had seen that type of room and that at the time of my booking I had only and exclusively seen the photos of the "beach front" bungalow , much nicer.I am convinced that the photos at the time of my booking were different, that they were changed later and that, consequently, they gave me a different room from the one I had booked, even though, today, the photos correspond, because in the meantime they are been changed.The first few days, before we got used to it, my wife and I felt a lot of sadness and discomfort as we browsed, several times a day, the most beautiful bungalows, which we were convinced we were entitled to, to get to our "tool shed".Komodo Resort never wanted to respond to me on these issues.A complaint is open with Booking.com.The next step will be to turn to the European Commission's dispute resolution.I would like to point out that Komodo resort has two receptions. One, manned by staff who have no decision-making power, on the island and the other, the real one, in Bali... Not even in Labuan banjo. In Bali...Don't trust me.HI.

Let's start with the positive things.The coral reef with the sea is something fantastic. The concentration of fish and the color of the corals present is out of the ordinary and I have seen coral reefs and fish. But alas, this is where the positive things endLet's talk about the negative things-cleaning chapter that leaves something to be desired. I stayed 7 nights and the bathroom towels were changed only at my request, which is unacceptable if you consider the price and stars of this resort. Inside the room I asked for a disinfestation due to the massive presence of mosquitoes but it only lasted 1 night. I purchased a mosquito repellent of dubious origin and quality at the hotel for which I was even charged €20-food chapter I would give 0 stars. Not only for the quality of the dishes cooked but for something even worse: going to dinner or lunch every evening and never finding the dishes on the menu available. Most of the time they started with what they had finished or after we ordered we were told that the dishes were not available. Spoiled food and most of the time wrong food. Another very unacceptable thing from a hotel that is defined as 4 stars absolutely INCONCEIVABLE with the price that is paid- animation chapter we could not even organize parties in the resort but at least having themed dinners or inventing a show every now and then wouldn't do too much harm given that there aren't even TVs in the room.IT ONLY DESERVES THE PLACE BUT NOTHING ELSE

Komodo is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and the location of this resort is unbeatable. We have just returned from our second stay (first time in 2018), and here are my impressions. It should be pointed out that the management of the resort changed recently.- The house reef is (still) beautiful (tons of colorful fish, turtles, occasional shark or eagle ray). We have noted some damage of the coral on top of the reef, probably because of people stepping on it. Not allowed, but not really enforced.- Rooms are clean, with beautiful verandas and views of the sea (nevertheless, we found 3 cockroaches during our stay).- Unfortunately more bungalows were build to fill spaces between the existing ones, making them more packed next to each other- Previously, lettuce and other vegetables were grown in the empty spaces between the bungalows, which were available from a salad bar at dinner time, now, this was replaced by not really appetizing canned corn, olives and beans- Food is good/OK (quality somewhat inconsistent), another definite step down from the incredible food during our previous visit- While the staff is generally very friendly and helpful, we were repeatedly getting conflicting information (for example, what is and what is not included in “full board”, regarding booking and organization of trips, scheduling of the return boat etc), which should not happen at a place in this price segmentSummary: enjoyable stay, but a nowhere near the experience we had previously
